Bespoke sessions to suit your needs
We pride ourselves on the quality of our experienced delivery team, providing a safe and engaging environment where your students will be continually encouraged to explore, discover, be curious, and create lifelong childhood memories. We provide bespoke sessions that will be designed with your teaching objectives in mind. We supply all resources needed for each session, you just turn up and play, the BYG way!
Clay Faces
Get creative by sculpting clay faces using elements found in the country park. Collect items from our natural surroundings to use as facial features and experiment with the properties of clay. This sensory activity allows children to make their unique self-portrait whilst exploring nature and getting messy.
Bamboo water runs
Construct a unique bamboo water run and explore how water travels. Use different connection techniques to create a customised setup, experimenting with angles and flow. This collaborative activity encourages children to investigate the properties of water through a hands-on, creative project.
Giant bubbles
Harness the power of wind to create giant, awe-inspiring bubbles! Explore wind direction using compasses and experiment with different techniques to measure the size of the bubbles. This hands-on outdoor activity allows children to investigate natural phenomena while also developing basic navigation skills.
Fire and Popcorn
Gain hands-on experience by sorting and gathering the appropriate materials before learning the step-by-step process to construct and light a fire. This outdoor activity emphasises the importance of fire safety while also teaching students how to act responsibility around fire and how we can use heat to pop our corn.
How it works
To get started, email us with your class size, ages, preferred dates, and other information such as learning goals and language focuses that you think would be useful for us to make a tailored experience.
Call
Our team will then reach out to arrange a call with you. During the call, we will discuss dates, learning objectives, and goals. The BYG Team includes qualified teachers with experience across a wide range of curriculums, ensuring that we can cater to your specific needs.
Confirmation
Once dates and sessions are confirmed, an invoice will be issued and we can assign the relevant team members to the sessions and put on hold back-up dates for inclement weather.
Let's go!
Upon settling the invoice, you will receive supporting documents including risk assessments and session overviews. We can also arrange a recce with your team to review the session and location details.
