Early Years Foundation Stage

At Chiltern Open Air Museum, we have a range of immersive EYFS learning experiences.

The Little Red Hen Day

Using the classic fable The Little Red Hen by Mary Mapes Dodge as our inspiration, come and visit the COAM farm for an immersive EYFS learning experience. Students will enjoy hands-on activities, from cutting wheat to butter-making, act out the story and experience the arable farm-to-table process, ending with making their own bread. Perfect for sparking curiosity and creativity in young minds!

Cost per group of up to 32 students and 6 accompanying adults: £475

Subject links: English, Mathematics, Science, Geography 

Key statutory framework links: Develop a life-long love of reading. Demonstrate understanding of what has been read to them by retelling stories and narratives using their own words and recently introduced vocabulary. 

Goldilocks Day

Step into the world of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" with our immersive EYFS learning experience. Your students will meet Goldilocks, explore storytelling, role-play, and sensory activities as they learn about making choices, sharing, and understanding opposites. A fun-filled experience that brings this classic tale to life.
