Education
Allow BeWILDerwood to become your classroom and step into our world.
If you visited us last year we hope you had an amazing time. We are very excited, as during the winter the Twiggles and Boggles have been very busy working on a fabulous new education package for schools!
The package is designed to:
- Compliment and add value to your school visit - the package is inclusive in the price of your visit
- Give you the opportunity to structure your day in a fun and educational way
- Offer suggestions on how to time your day, organise your group and recommend routes around the park
- Provide extra experience activities which you can complete before, during or after your visit
Leaflette's Lost Charms
Using the Boggle at BeWILDerwood story as a basis for the adventure, children can help Leaflette find her lost charms and discover the curious woodland world as their journey unfolds...
Children are given an Adventure Booklet upon arrival; this is their working booklet for the day's adventure. It opens out into an A3 sized sheet on which children can record things as they find them on their adventure.
The Adventure Booklet includes a logbook style section alongside numerous problem solving games and puzzles. The Booklet opens out to reveal a trail of adventure and discovery. Children must solve visual and worded clues, navigating to points around the site. They then draw the 'lost charm' they find and record a 'fun fact' about the surrounding environment - whilst leaving plenty of time to enjoy playing in the park!
The adventure involves the teaching staff as well as the pupils; searching for clues and enjoying learning and play activities on the way. BeWILDerwood is not just a fun day out for children - adults are allowed to play too!
