Learn about tides, marine life and coastal erosion
Thanet has 15 sandy bays and beaches from Pegwell Bay in the south, to Minnis Bay in the north. Many have rock pools, some have tidal/ crabbing pools. Each location provides a great learning experience for all year groups
We provide the knowledge, experience, resources and and session planning
We research the tidal forecast, location and risk assessments
Following the forest school ethos, we transfer our knowledge and skill set to the beach, using the coast as a platform for a different learning experience.
We can tailor sessions to the curriculum, seasons, learning styles and group requirements.
Positive changes take time; therefore, we recommend regular weekly sessions which help build regularity and consistency, allowing our qualified practitioners to build relationships and gain long term positive impacts on development, social skills, self-esteem, well-being and mental health.
Session length 2 - 4 hours
One off or weekly sessions (recommend a minimum of 6 weeks)
