Lets walk the amazon April Home Ed.jpg

Hands-on Educational club

These clubs are created to support learning about rainforests, conservation and exotic animals of the jungle age 6 +.

 

The Jungle Hut clubs provides home educated children an insightful and fun introduction and understanding of the importance of the exotic animals and their habitats. 

 

The next session are now open for bookings.

The Jungle Hut is buzzing with excitement as it prepares to kick off its new Home Education term on Wednesday, 10th April. Aptly named

"Let's Walk The Amazon,"

inspired by Ed Stafford’s 2 and a half year perilous journey. This term promises an immersive journey through the heart of the dense rainforest. Students are set to explore the challenges, marvel at the unique wildlife, and experience life with a tribe, offering an unparalleled educational adventure. We’ll build dens, try foods eaten by indigenous tribes, and end our term with each child receiving a certificate to commemorate us purchasing a piece of the rainforest forever!

​

Learning Objectives:

  • Geography and Navigation Skills:

    • Students will actively participate in planning a virtual route for their journey through the Amazon rainforest.
