Families go batty
During the half-term Holiday, Brandon
Marsh Nature Centre and Parkridge Centre are offering a fantastic
range of entertaining holiday education activities for 4 - 11 year
olds which all help celebrate National Family Week. Parkridge
Centre also has special tots activities.
National Family Week runs from 31st May to 6th June - and aims to
be a great celebration of family life - bringing thousands of
families together to have fun. It's BBC Springwatch season again
too - so a perfect time for children and families to get closer to
nature.
To celebrate, Warwickshire Wildlife Trust is running many
activities, including making dream-catchers, hunting for
mini-beasts, pond dipping for mayfly nymphs and making your own
kite - ending with our special evening Family Bat & Moth
Bonanza.
'It's great fun
at Brandon Marsh this half-term - we have lots of great outdoor
activities planned to keep kids busy. Whether it's dipping in our
pond, hunting for mini-beasts or making a kite or dream catcher the
kids will have a great day out! '
Claire Mann, Education Ranger, Warwickshire Wildlife
Trust
'The Family
Bat and Moth Bonanza sounds great - my family are all booked on
already! My kids are really excited to come along in the dark, make
a lantern and then have a go with a bat detector to see what we can
find flying around at night!'
