Natural Celebrations

"Learning Outside The Classroom" courses with the Peak District National Park

NATURAL CELEBRATIONS -9th January 2012, Flash School, near Buxton


How do we get our classes to take hold of their own inspirations and work together to create exciting and dramatic events? What activities can capture the colours and patterns of nature for our celebrations?

This workshop will offer:

• activities to help groups plan and design celebrations


• a look at creative themes you might use in a celebration


• give you a chance to try some useful  art activities with lanterns, flags, big masks, spectacular standards and unbelievable hats…


• take time for us all to share ideas and experiences

All courses run from 1:30 -5:30pm and cost £70. If your school books more than one of any of our charged for courses you will receive a 20% discount on all courses.
