School age childcare: national children's charter
In 2022 and 2023 A Place in Childhood and Scottish Government worked with children in schools across Scotland to design a Charter for school age childcare in Scotland.
More activities we'd like to do
At the weekends and in the holidays we would like to also include:
- Animals – we'd love an animal club,
horse-riding, visiting farms and zoos, learning how to look after them, and about the natural world in general (e.g. how birds fly). - New skills – languages, budgeting, general life skills, martial arts, coding, skiing, fixing things, tying knots in rope, quad biking, exercise/body building, and business.
- Trips – museums, beaches, camping, activity centres, cinema trips, and visiting other villages, towns and cities.
- Adventures – stargazing, kayaking, visiting islands, fishing, hiking, wild swimming, camping, visiting beaches, and treasure hunting. We'd love to connect these activities up into a single adventure!
- Construction – we'd like to learn woodwork and make fences, forts, doors, go-karts, and other useful or interesting things.
- Making a difference – for example, work on recycling in the local area through an Eco Group, pack food boxes for people that need them, or do a heritage project where we learn stories from the community and write these down to preserve them for the future.
