Each pack contains a range of activities focused on the woodland.

Early Years and Key Stage 1 – Binoculars, magnifying glasses, rubbing equipment, spotter sheets and more, to encourage children to discover more about our woodland.

Handling Boxes

We have a number of artefacts that we can offer to school groups to help bring their visit to life. Please call to discuss your requirements.

Cross Curricula Teachers’ Resource Pack

A broad range of suggested ideas and activities to support classroom learning and self-led onsite visits. The activities cover History, Art, Geography, Science and Performing Arts. They can be delivered separately or in any combination to maximise a full day site visit. We have purposely designed opportunities for hands-on engagement with real and replica objects to enhance observation, investigative, communication and social skills. Free to hire.

The Basics

Let us know if you need clipboards and pencils or anything else that is difficult to bring with you.

We are adding new resources all the time, so do keep looking, and get in touch if you would like something specific.
