Taste or Twerp?

Taste or Twerp?

Introducing a brand new game show that will certainly tickle the taste buds!

Some children disregard food groups because they have a preconceived idea of taste . Taste or Twerp? encourages children to sample foods whilst blindfolded!

This whole class session is an imaginative way  to explore touch, smell and – of course – taste! Children are completely engaged and inspired to read, write and speak and listen about their experience.

Taste or Twerp? is a fun and educational way for children to broaden their horizons on healthy and tasty foods. This workshop is part of a series of creative learning encounters that explore the human body as stimulus for literacy and independent thinking skills.

Don Pablo delivers a special message about outdoor learning and shares an offer you just cant’ refuse!

As part of a current design and build project in a primary school, we are close to completing a new eco learning centre for children, teachers and families.

The new building will be an excellent base for outdoor learning and forest school activities. The whole curriculum will be enriched with Maths being delivered through Fibonacci principles and science lessons on the roof!

This project is part of an ongoing scheme of work called ‘Nature Knows Best’ which is an excellent example of making the most of the wonderful learning opportunities afforded us by Mother Nature.

Children and teachers have developed a range of uses for the audio software audacity across the whole curriculum. They are now developing their technical abilities with the software and through their natural enthusiasm for audio broadcasting, raising standards in literacy.
