This section has a range of educational aids to help school aged children learn about the world around them. They are exciting and fun and will help spark an inquisitive mind into action. Education is at the heart of what we believe in and we will be continually working on this range (reviewing, improving and expanding it) to ensure it goes someway towards achieving our goals......
Our thoughts on the role of education in a changing world....
As our children grow up they will find themselves faced with a changing & challenging world. Our children will need to become inspired thinkers and creative problem-solvers, they will need to be knowledgeable about all aspects of life and capable of making the huge changes needed within our social and economic structure.
Their learning must become more diverse. Recognising the importance of creativity in learning; the need for social & emotional lessons; and a responsible attitude towards their natural environment.
We want our children to grow up with a desire to look after their changing world, as well as have the skills to survive it, including how to reuse, repair & grow things for themselves.
Learning is instinctive. If we provide our children with a stimulating environment they will want to learn & their individual talents will have the best chance to develop.
