The Curiosity Club-
The Curiosity Club is a weekly two-hour drop-off session for home-educated and unschooled young people aged 11–15. A space for gently-held learning, it’s part social get-together, part opportunity for creative exploration: somewhere to bring your interests, share what you know, discover something new and get stuck into the questions that fascinate you.
From Saturnalia to Yuletide: Ancient Midwinter Knees-Ups!
Long before Christmas as we know it, people were gathering to feast, celebrate and bring light into the darkest days of winter. From Roman Saturnalia to ancient Yuletide customs, we’ll discover how people celebrated midwinter and why so many traditions have survived. We’ll finish our term by making winter wreaths, sharing some festive treats and celebrating the timeless joy of gathering together.
