WILD WEEK activities

As part of Wild Week, in conjunction with BBC Breathing Places, Warwickshire Wildlife Trust is offering fabulous holiday activities for children aged 4-11 at the Brandon Marsh Nature Centre, Coventry .  With a variety of different themes, from autumn rambles to ghoulish games, the workshops are jam-packed with creative and hands-on activities to keep all children occupied. 

The workshops taking place are ‘Autumn Watch’ on 23^rd October, ‘Meet the Mallards’ on 24^th October, ‘Wonderful Water Boatman’ on 25^th October and ‘Ghoulish Games’ on 26^th October 2007.

Children’s workshops cost £4 per child and booking is essential to avoid disappointment as places can sometimes be limited. They are from 10.30am-12.00pm. All activities will involve using the outdoor environment for learning and creative inspiration. At each workshop there is a variety of topical crafts available for children to make and take home.

Katie Dodd , Education Officer for Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, said: “Whatever the weather we will be going outside to explore the Nature Reserve. We have a great variety of activities available this half term, giving children the opportunity to learn about a whole host of animals.”
