Woodland Adventures

An inspiring mix of exploration, bushcraft, fire lighting, campfire cooking, and natural arts and crafts. Explore the woodland environment and learn to use tools to make things out of natural materials. Age appropriate projects will give each child something to take home with them.

Session outline

After arrival, we will “tune in” using our senses and feel a deepening connection to nature. Throughout the day we will discover the properties and possibilities of creating things from a variety of natural materials.

Whilst crafting our projects we will learn about safe tool use, discover the secrets behind effective fire lighting and embrace the joys of exploring the woods. We’ll enjoy a campfire snack and have time for child led play in the woods.

Suitable for all Key Stages from Reception to Year 6 and into Secondary. The detail and level will be adapted to be age appropriate. All sessions are designed with holistic learning in mind with pupils developing their team working and communication skills.

A culture of care and respect for ourselves, each other, and the environment are encouraged throughout.
