Whitstable Community Education is a collective of parents from a diverse range of backgrounds and interests. We meet once a week (for now) at The Whitstable Community Allotment to do creative, sociable, educational activities as an alternative to mainstream schooling. We have been established since May 2011 and are now in early development.

This blog may be updated by any member of Whitstable Community Education and any opinions or view points which may be made by any individual should not be taken as the opinion of the group, we are a bunch of autonomous people!

Stag Beetle habitat/climbing challenge

This week Finn really enjoyed the bamboo that the bug hotel was made out of. He experimented with using sections as musical instruments - Claves and drum sticks.
He found many different places to use his drum sticks including at the top of the new Stag Beetle habitat - an installation of tree trunks of differing heights supported in the earth.
He had to practise his climbing skills to get to the top of the tree trunks, and had to do good balancing to stand on one tree trunk while playing another.

  1. I didn't realise that that was what the tree trunks were about... I put a picture up of them in the previous post thinking it was a climbing frame, thanks for the info! x
