Wildlings Parent & Child Group (5 week programme)

Wildlings is a forest school parent and child group that offers opportunities for your child to learn, play and explore our Wild Space environment in a relaxed, safe and holistic manner. Our forest school sessions are designed with nature connection at its core that enables our learners to nurture a life-long love and understanding of the natural world.

Otto the therapy dog will be supporting the sessions and is looking forward to making new little hooman friends and helping the children settle in. He says his favourite things are playing, exploring and eating snacks, preferably not his own!

Our sessions will be inspired by the seasons and the children who attend, and will be different every week. Below are some examples of the activities and benefits we will offer over the term.

• Crafts activities using natural resources that inspire creativity
• Tool use, such as sawing, drilling, whittling and chopping that develop fine and gross motor skills
• Green woodworking
• Fire lighting using a flint and steel and making the campfire
• Campfire snack cooking, such as marshmallows, pastries and bread.
• Learning about nature, bug hunting and the animals that live and visit our environment
• Mud kitchen, swing and hammock
• Interacting with new people and building new friendships
• Positive and cherished life-long memories made between the child and their parent or care giver.

Sessions are run by a level 3 forest school leader, forest school assistant. Fully DBS certificated, first aid and safeguarding trained, and Otto the therapy dog, who is has heaps of enthusiasm and love to give!
