About the event

Are your children home-educated? Are you looking for a quality outdoor experience to enhance their learning? Then join us on one of our sessions exclusively for home-educated children and their families. Suitable for children aged 7 – 13 years old. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

 

About the session:

At certain times of the year Spurn's elusive tidal pools are revealed and a magical underwater world comes to life.

Spend time searching these pools and learn to identify different seaweeds and creatures living amongst it. You never know what you might find!

Spurn has a diverse marine world and this session focuses on both seaweed and seagrass. We will discuss how seagrass and seaweed differs and how they create important habitats for a plethora of species.
