What It Looks Like

A Wild Imagination is designed around a clear rhythm: blending outdoor exploration, hands-on making and collaborative projects within a small, mixed-age community.


While each week evolves with the interests and energy of the group, the structure remains intentional and consistent.

The Weekly Rhythm

Depending on family needs, children may attend between one and two days per week. 

 

Our current vision includes:

Wild Outdoor Days

Time spent in woodland, beach or garden environments exploring ecology, natural systems and physical challenges. 


The outdoors becomes a place of investigation, risk-awareness and stewardship, not simply a break from learning.

Wild Maker Days

Studio-based sessions focused on designing, building, prototyping and creating. 


From woodworking and textiles to digital design and coding, children learn through making and iteration.

Community Days

Mixed-age gatherings that strengthen connection, collaboration and shared responsibility. 


These days may include shared projects, physical activities, field trips or parent-led contributions.

​

Age groupings may vary depending on interest and cohort size, but we anticipate starting by working within 4 - 7, 7-11 and 11-16 groups, with opportunities for mixed-age collaboration where appropriate.

Example Projects

Mycorrhizal Systems

Exploring the hidden networks beneath the forest floor.

 

Children might:

 

  • Create illuminated installations that visualise the “Wood Wide Web” using LEDs and simple circuits.

  • Grow mycelium in moulds to experiment with sustainable building materials.

  • Build collaborative web-mapping games to understand how nutrients and communities depend on connection.


Through this topic, children explore ecology, systems thinking, engineering, collaboration and metaphor. All within one integrated project.

Outer Space

Imagining and designing life beyond Earth.


Projects might include:

 

  • Designing a “Golden Record 2.0,” curating images and messages that represent humanity.

  • Engineering a hydroponic growing system for a Martian environment.

  • Drafting a “Crew Charter” to explore governance, ethics and cooperation in a new society.


Here, science, literacy, ethics, design and teamwork all intersect in complementary ways.
