FREE Heritage Lottery funded programme - ROOTS at Birmingham Settlement Forest School, Edgbaston Reservoir.

Our new forest school programme embraces the simple curiosities of childhood, we dig, we explore, we imagine, we laugh, we grow. 

ROOTS, is a child led forest school session located at Birmingham Settlement's Red Shed site; a beautiful, green space tucked away in the heart of Brum. Our open ended sessions are a holistic blend of exploratory play and growing and gardening projects aimed at children aged 2 to 5 years and their grown ups. Our Forest School site benefits from a small woodland space to jump and climb in, next to a wonderfully maintained veggie patch and polytunnel and we welcome you to play and grow with us. Let's get little fingers in the dirt and seeds in the ground. 

We'll make paint from blackberries, fly on sticks, mix up marvellously muddy creations in the mud kitchen and we'll learn to nurture and grow new things from sunflowers to tomato plants. You'll be able to return each week to see how tall they've grown! 

Come and join us on Mondays from 10:30am-12pm for play, craft and the freedom to roam and explore with a campfire to finish. 

Who are sessions aimed at?

Little ones aged 2-5 years and their grown ups.

Let's get those little roots planted; new friendships, happy heads, happy hearts.
