Twig Twiddling Sculptures @ Fairburn Ings Nature Reserve
Mar 6 @ 10:00 – 15:00

Have a go at some twig twiddling and weave yourself an animal! Join Lily Horseman to create a sculpture either by yourself or with your family, and get inspired by nature to make a bird, mammal, invertebrate or something from your imagination! Birch is an incredible weaving material and Lily will show you how to build shapes and connect them together to make your creature. The materials for this workshop will have been gathered from the reserve, as part of our habitat management, and you can turn them into something unique.

Play in the Outdoors— facilitating and observing play in the outdoors @ Bulcliffe Woods
Jun 8 @ 09:30 – 16:30
Play in the Outdoors— facilitating and observing play in the outdoors @ Bulcliffe Woods | Bretton | England | United Kingdom

Experiential course with Jon Cree and Lily Horseman. Starting at 9.30 and finishing at 4.30
How does the outdoors support ‘the ecological and spiritual imagination of the mind’ of the child will be a key question explored on this workshop. We will also be looking at all the other developmental areas humans experience during play.
??Outdoor play and ‘games’ will be shared to explore the many possibilities the natural world and outdoor elements offer for meaningful play – from the creative to the rough and tumble.
?We will be exploring the ‘play framework’ and how we, as practitioners, spot cues from learners to interact with their play without destroying the ‘play’ and the ‘drive’ to play. We will also be examining when a ‘player’ enters a state of flow when the learning becomes integral to the human.
The day will look in detail at what practitioners can deduce from play. Are our observations and evaluations telling us what is really ‘going
on’ for the learner and how do we check they are truthful. This can then inform our inter- ventions and non-interventions as co-players.
How do we re-discover the world and mind of the child? – one of the many questions asked and explored on this workshop.
