We Can Come to Your School
Earth Days

 We are currently developing an exciting new outreach programme to schools within a 15 mile radius of our Centre.
All topics are taught considering Sustainability and the principles of Earth Care, People Care and Fair Share. They can be delivered in the classroom or preferably outdoors in your school grounds!
Each session is 1 hour 15 mins for a class of up to  30 pupils.
You can repeat the same session or choose a mixture. We will work with your school timetable to plan the day to suit.

Whole day (3 sessions) £240 plus travel expenses.
Half day (1- 2 sessions ) £160 plus travel expenses.

Topics

All sessions include why willow is considered a sustainable , renewable resources, how it grows as a plant and the benefits to wildlife on our site. Pupils will learn how to weave the willow to make stunning craft pieces. Choose from willow fish, Saxon willow hurdles or willow planets. 
​With a show and tell of replica artefacts of the period the focus will be on the domestic history and the crafts of the Saxons. Pupils will carry out some hands on activities and look at how pottery is identified from archaeological sites.
