🐞 NEW Minibeasts Sessions for Home Educated Children 🐛
I’m excited to be offering a brand new 3-week minibeasts programme with LIVE animals for home educated children at Great Wood Community Hall.
📍 Where:
Great Wood Community Hall
Hollington Rd, Tean
Stoke-on-Trent, ST10 4JY
🕐 When: Thursdays, 1:00–2:30pm
📅 Dates: 29th January, 5th February & 12th February
💷 Cost: £10 per child, per session (1.5 hours)
👧🧒 Ages: Suitable for all primary-aged children
Across the three weeks, children will explore minibeasts while covering key National Curriculum science topics, including habitats, life cycles, growth, survival systems, and food chains — all through fun, hands-on, highly interactive activities supported by live minibeasts.
🦗 Live minibeasts are used throughout the sessions, giving children the chance to observe (and, if they wish, gently interact with) real invertebrates in a safe, supportive environment.
🗓 Weekly themes:
🌿 29th January – Habitats
Exploring habitats such as rainforests, deserts, and temperate environments, and how minibeasts are adapted to live there.
🦋 5th February – Life Cycles & Growth
Learning about the life cycles of various invertebrates, how they grow, and how they change over time.
🍽 12th February – Food Chains
Discovering minibeast food chains, including carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores, and how everything fits together.
👨👩👧 Grown-ups must attend, but will not be forced to participate!
🚗 Parking available on site
👥 Small group sizes, so places are limited.
