Our Adventures:
We adore our Home Ed days at Beccles Forest Schools and it is such an honour to be a part of the Home Ed journeys of our young community.
A typical day might be spent making perfect mud meatballs, picking sticky weed to make tonic to share, digging out a water-run into the dyke or continuing to construct ‘The Village’ out of willow on the Wild Meadow.
Children are given the opportunity to light a fire and cook food on it, use tools and immerse themselves in nature- climbing trees, pond-dipping and exploring the mud bath.
We welcome new attendees to book a taster session before booking a block of sessions. Where sessions are fully booked, please enquire about our waiting list.
We are an Ofsted registered setting. Tax-free childcare is accepted and families who are eligible to claim money back for childcare may be able to do so for this session.
Please get in touch with Rach at rachel4learninginnature@gmail.com with any questions.
