Woodland Skills group (Wednesdays)
Growth group (Tuesdays)

Woodland Skills group (Wednesdays) and Growth group (Tuesdays) are our Forest School and outdoor learning groups aimed at home-educated children aged 5yrs+. 

These drop-off sessions focus on providing hands-on learning opportunities through exploration of a termly topic as suggested and chosen by the children attending. Example topics over previous terms have been: storytelling, pirates, ancient civilisations, historical events, uses of woodland, weather and survival skills. At our Higher Wheal Martyn site, we also have a horticultural focus where we can grow, nurture, learn about and cook our own foods.
The sessions allow time for group discussion, free-play, exploring nature, and of course working on woodland skills such as knot tying, whittling, fire-lighting, den building, etc.  Each session includes a campfire snack which ties in with the week's learning.
We ask that families commit to the blocks of sessions each term so the children can establish and develop relationships with each other. 

Tuesdays: 10am-2pm (Higher Wheal Martyn site).
Wednesdays: 10am-12pm; and 12:30-2:30pm (Cardinham Woods).

These sessions are pre-paid for at £10 per week per child. The sessions last for two hours each and are usually booked in 6-8 week blocks.

PLEASE NOTE: BOOKING IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO THOSE CHILDREN ALREADY ATTENDING WOODLAND SKILLS & GROWTH GROUP SESSIONS. PLEASE ONLY MAKE A BOOKING IF A PLACE HAS BEEN AGREED IN ADVANCE AS REFUNDS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED FOR BOOKINGS MADE IN ERROR.
