A Level students

Design lead devising with A level students yesterday. Using den building materials as their starting points - amazing -  Total goosebumps!! A couple of photos  to give you an idea - could have stayed all week - we will be back - Thank you Dan Meigh and your students. Videos are being uploaded but huge files!

Journey through a den

Cathy and I spent last week working in a special school - den building, model making, bubble blowing - to name but a few activities. This is an unedited clip of a 'walk through' of the final dens. More photos to follow.

Dens at Glastonbury

Cathy has been snapping photos of dens at Glastonbury

Although the next photo isn't a 'den' it is the world's cutest children's toilet ever!

Cathy is currently at Glastonbury - having an amazing time preparing the sets. There is a separate page where you can follow her exploits but here is just a sneak preview x

Making a volcano from a duvet

We turned a very cheap duvet into a volcano to use within a den - Gav kindly set up a time lapse for us.
If you have images of dens that you or your children have made please feel free to share them with us.

PS we did this on the night that Liverpool had an amazing thunderstorm which seemed to last for hours!

Outdoor den to promote reading

Cathy spent some time yesterday working on an Outdoor den in a primary school in Liverpool. This was to promote reading. We have a session booked in Barnsley in September to build a den completely from books which would otherwise have been sent to landfill. Watch this space.
