WILD FOR WORDS

GARDEN DAY COURSES

 

We run a mixture of two day and three day courses throughout the holidays  - see dates in the panel.

Courses for 8–11 year olds to spend consecutive days living outdoors with a focus on enjoyment and fun - playing creatively with words, (including reading and writing) for confidence building, self-­esteem and mindfulness. Children will learn to believe in themselves as masters of language, learning the joy of creative writing as the words bubble out of the shared activities and games. Garden days will unlock reluctant readers and writers, boost eager readers and writers and inspire the timid in a natural world – a private wild meadow and garden where every day will be different and nothing they write will be wrong.

SATURDAY GROUP COURSES

​

Four consecutive Saturday sessions either morning or afternoon – 2 hours per session.

Courses for 8-11 year olds -­ slightly more studious than Garden Days and in smaller groups, the focus is still on self-esteem and English for fun but will aim to iron out specific anxieties and work on areas that children feel are holding them back or even help with their homework.
