These six week blocks will run year round exploring what is going on in nature, drawing from history, geography, science and art history. These sessions are an amazingly child-led, hands on way to learn in a way that works for your child. Sessions are low pressure with the option to get involved as much or as little as your child wants. There will also be lots of other creative resources for your child to use.
​
Sessions are run by Heather Cassidy, experienced Parents Learning Adviser, Art Facilitator and Tutor. Each young person will be given a sketch book to record their findings, learnings and creative work. This will serve as a resource that they can refer to in the future. Parents are welcome to stay with their child, use the nearby sitting room or go and have a well deserved cuppa!
