It’s a Wild Thing 

Nature is all around you….right on your doorstep!

Why not go outside to play... make a den, make a nest, go on a nature hunt near where you live, do some leaf rubbings, look for mini-beasts, make a mud pie, see if you can make your own paint from mud, fly a kite, collect things, make a spider- out of sticks and mud and stuff, make a giant spider web out of string, make a daisy chain, run around, make yourself dizzy, hug a tree, have a picnic... have fun!

We are lucky in Tameside to have such a huge variety of countryside just waiting for you to explore and discover. There are grassy meadows, wild woodlands, highs and lows of hills and valleys, and rivers and streams. We have produced a booklet ‘It’s a Wild Thing’ where there are suggestions for places to explore, and things to do, but of course they are just our ideas, and we are sure you will have lots of your own, and come up with some new games and activities when you are outside discovering new places.

In Stalybridge Country Park, you can go on a nature wayfaring trail. Download your Stalybridge Country Park nature wayfaring trail map here 569.14 KB .

You can also join in the many ‘Wild’ events, which are taking place in the school holidays.
