Home Educators Self-led Sessions (all ages)
Come along to an outdoor meet up with other home educators at Studland.
- Booking essential
- Free event
We will provide resources and suggested activities for you to do with the children. There will be a mix of nature themed activities for different ages and all ages are welcome. Having the woodland, dunes and beach, Studland is a perfect place to follow nature through the seasons and find out about the different plants and animals that live here.
The sessions are free but we are asking people to book on so we can gauge numbers for resources. You only need to book places for the children you are bringing.
These sessions will run during the BCP and Dorset school term time, on alternating Mondays of the month to our nature tots sessions. Please see the dates below. We are a completely outdoor setting, so dress for the weather. We have a water refill station opposite visitor reception, in the area behind the changing places, as well as toilet and café facilities.
