Anurag teaching children about trees in West Ham Park
What you'll be doing
Wild Schools volunteers support schoolchildren to take part in outdoor education at West Ham Park. They lead small groups through activities that get them exploring the park and learning curriculum subjects at the same time.
‘I love the outdoors in all seasons and seeing the joy in children’s faces, having fun and learning. I am planning to become a Science teacher, so this is a great opportunity for me to find out the best way to approach children and what style of learning excites them.'
- Anurag, a Wild Schools Volunteer

We are looking for volunteers who:
-
enjoy working with children aged between 5 and 11
-
understand that learners have differing needs
-
are comfortable being outdoors
-
relish hands-on tasks which bring learning to life
