This week we celebrate T-level week with our T-level Childcare and Education students who have been on an educational visit to Westonbirt Arboretum.
The Year 1 and 2 students took part in sessions led by Forestry England and Learning with Nature; aimed at helping them to understand key risk assessment points to consider when taking a group of children to Westonbirt. These sessions saw the students complete a number of practical activities such as making homes for different types of animals and worm pies.
The students then had some free time to explore the arboretum, and complete a number of risk assessment and activity planning tasks.
Childcare lecturer Kate said “These sessions were really engaging and enjoyed by all, even the teachers learned quite a lot!”
