EYFS Meet the Wakehurst Green Fairy

Join the Green Fairy to explore the gardens at Wakehurst.

In a series of fun activities to stimulate an awareness of nature, pupils match shapes, colours and textures and find fallen leaves and twigs to complete the fairy's outfit. They use their collections to make themselves a head band or magic wand. 

Learning outcomes

We design our sessions to match the learning outcomes in the EYFS national curriculum. All our sessions have a cross-curricular approach and are tailored to suit the educational needs of your group. 

This session gives pupils the opportunity to: 

• Listen to and follow the Green Fairy’s instructions.

• Walk and cooperate in groups.

• Explore and observe the natural surroundings.

• Match shapes, colours, textures in nature.

• Talk about their findings.

• Count as they walk.

• Make a collection.

• Listen for sounds in nature.

• Create a headband or wand using natural materials.
