DATES

  • Monday 30 March 2026 10am- 2pm

  • Tuesday 31 March 2026 10am- 2pm

LOCATION

Drop off at Will Thorne Pavilion Car Park on first day. Collection and subsequent drop off from our Forest School Base. The session will be held in Beckton District Park South with boundaries marked and communicated to participants.

WHATS ON OFFER

  • Bushcraft activities

  • Survival skills

  • Nature connection

  • Nature crafts

  • Tool use

  • Team games

  • Mud kitchen

  • Hammocks & swings

And much more! Sessions unfold based on the interests of participants and what nature brings us each day. All activities are optional (apart from group circles), so participants choose what interests them and will have abundant opportunities for exploration. Our sessions encourage children to explore their natural curiosity through facilitated activities and self-directed play and learning.  We run these sessions as a 2-day block to allow children to build deeper relationships with nature, with one another and with themselves, on their own terms.  

These sessions are subsidised by grant funding, with free bursary places available to any Newham residents who require them. Huge thanks to L&Q for funding our project.
