"Nests of Our Own" with Bec Wilson | 8-12yrs | 1-2:30pm or 2-3:30pm | Saturday 24th October | Children's Week Free Event
Join us for an afternoon of Nest Building and loose parts play.
Environments where children can move, change, manipulate, and construct their environment offer the opportunity to extend imaginative play.
In our workshop will be offering both natural and constructed resources (think sticks, straw, leaves, mud, wool, along with cardboard, found objects, string and bubble wrap) .
We will be working towards making homes, in the form of nests, as we think about security, comfort and belonging.
These nests might be for small creatures or small versions of ourselves - we will be guided by participants as we follow the children doing the important work of imagining, playing and creating.

The workshops will run over two sessions 1-2:30pm and 2-3:30pm with a shared afternoon tea of fruit and cupcakes included at 2pm - 2:30pm (please advise any dietary requirements in the “Is there anything you would like us to know about your child?’ section on the enrolment form.
