At AKU’S, we aim to follow the children’s interests and enthusiasm. We plan a wide range of challenging, achievable, and fun activities for the children to choose from – these activities will differ according to the age and stage of development.

The children will be involved in art and craft activities, story-telling, physical challenges, investigating the flora and fauna on site, bug hunts, making a forest friend from the natural resources available, testing the strength of leaves to making dens and assisting the building of supervised campfires.

Every Year there are 12 themes implemented through which Children learn and also Experience the themes.

We always aim to start and finish each session with a circle time activity, so that there is time for the children to plan and reflect on their learning in the forest area.

Some of the ways the children benefit:

Confidence
