Practical Ideas

Baskets - Tilia Guilbaud-Walter

This session is a mindless break from taxing learning. I will be sharing the skill I learned at my forest school of how to simply weave baskets and this is something you can come and do for a bit of fun or something to take back to your play setting! Please note I am no expert on the subject but if you enjoy you can always use youtube to learn more :)

NO SKATEBOARDING ALLOWED - Christopher Roberts 

Watching children skateboard can be very nerve racking and scary, but I think less so if you know how to skate yourself! Come and learn how to skateboard, you’ll be cruising down the street in no time. I have some knowledge of the history of skateboarding which may be interesting to discuss too. Wear trainers if you can. Warning participation may result in injury and/or extreme exhilaration!
