Environment group issues invite to teachers to help kids get involved in green education
An education group is encouraging classes to get out of a regular school setting to immerse themselves in nature.
A Tyneside education group is inviting teachers and their classes to learn in outdoor spaces across the region.
The South and North Tyneside branch of Groundwork, a group of charities looking to encourage community action, is encouraging education professionals to book sessions at West Boldon Lodge.
The group said: “If you're looking for the perfect trip to compliment your teaching, right on your doorstep, take a look at the range of sessions we run at West Boldon Lodge.
“As well as forest school sessions we also have a range of education days based on other topics, that are the perfect opportunity for getting your pupils out of the classroom and learning while immersed in nature.”
The site is run in partnership with the National Grid and boasts 13 hectares of land.
