Logan Schools' Week
Logan Schools' Week May 2026
Logan Schools' Week will run from the 11th - 15th May 2026.
Programme for 2026 to be confirmed
Programme for 2025
Teddy Bears Trail (P1-3)
Edward Bear invites your pupils (and their teddies) on a magical adventure to learn about the wonders of nature and discover the secret of what all living things need to survive. Your class will explore the garden together and reflect on how they can care for the environment.
Every Picture Tells a Story (P4-7)
Explore the garden through the lens of the photographic medium. In our modern world we are increasingly using pictures to express ourselves and tell our personal stories. We will introduce you to techniques that will enable you to focus and observe the natural world in different ways and to capture the essence of the garden. Through hands-on outdoor activities we will bring these abstract concepts to life and help you build creative skills that you can take away with you.
Morning session 10.00am - 12.00pm
(the arrival time includes time for a snack/toilet break at start, the programme starts 10.30am)
Afternoon session 12.30pm - 14.00pm
