Please wait...Congratulations to Jenny Dockett, Public Engagement Manager at the Centre for Life in Newcastle who has been awarded this year’s BIG Bursary.
Jenny will be finding out what science centres and outreach providers can learn from the Forest School ethos and will attend a 5-day training course. Both Forest Schools and Science Centres take learning outside of the classroom and engage children in a different way to schools. Forest schools are becoming increasingly popular, the key to their success is engaging children to learn through fun activities and hopefully when they go back to the classroom they take their new found confidence in learning back with them.
