- **Event Description**: This is a themed drop-off home education session for age 8+About this EventOur Abberton Home Education Group runs on the 4th Wednesday of every month (exc. August and December). These are drop-off sessions, so children do not need to be accompanied – it is for children aged 8-14. Each session has a theme, and we will complete activities and engage with nature based on the month's topic. This is a relaxed session where children can be themselves and work together to develop social skills and foster a deep understanding of wildlife and a love of the natural world.In June, we will go looking for insects and invertebrates. We will see what moths came to the trap the night before, survey butterflies, and go sweep netting to see what we can catch.Please come suitably dressed for the weather, as we will be outside for the whole session.
