FREE FOOD, FUN, FRIENDS & FURRIES Half Term Events funded by Derwent Valley Area Action Partnership This is our Out of School Club. These sessions include a healthy Lunch and Goody bag for a healthy evening meal. While with us your child will get to meet our small animals, learn about their care and spend time playing and training with our goats around our obstacles. We will spend time in our cabin creating wildlife feeders using recycled materials and stone art to take home. We will have a variety of wildlife based crafts to complete from nature mobiles, rock painting, leaf printing to mud art. We will also plant saplings, wildflowers and vegetable seeds so we can grow our own food and learn about sustainability and re-wilding.

See what food, fun and furries we included in our February activities below
We have had an amazing time providing 57 children with outdoor fun and food sessions during half term. Our groups enjoyed outdoor time through high winds, rain, hail and snow!! They never gave up once..... we had fun in the woods and the mud and everyone enjoyed creature cuddles with our goats and rabbits and visiting guinea pigs. During play our children can learn so much without realising... without feeling pressure or any expectations and our feedback from parents proves fun was our priority. Our activities included; Nature scavenger hunt, stone art, rock painting, mud painting, nature kites, sink or swim, bug houses, wildflower planting, veg bed preparation's, using our water wall and sound board, bug hunts and drawing id pictures, uploading wildlife IDs to Inaturalist app, just to name a few!!! Some of our feedback from families and the children who joined us can be seen below.
