Create Holiday Club Oxford Montessori Schools (Forest Farm)
'Create' has now been successfully running for over 5 years. We employ qualified teachers, so the children can learn as well as have fun at the playscheme. ‘Create’ takes place at Forest Farm, our farm school environment in Elsfield. We cook, paint, walk, take part in drama, music and dance, learn bushcraft skills and care for animals (our ponies, hens & peacock). Our history teacher Taryn leads special workshops during the summer holidays and, as she is also a costume maker, the children are able to dress up in period costumes. They adore playing Tudors or Elizabethans for the day. There is a bus services from various destinations in central Oxford. Please click Oxford Montessori Create for further information.
