Elective Home Learning
Are you currently Home Learning with your child or children? We’re running Home Learning sessions at various points around the UK, these are two hour long sessions split into two age groups. During these sessions we explore various parts of the natural world linking to the National Curriculum but enjoying the outside air!
Sessions are ran in Nottingham, Swansea, Ceredigion & Bridgend.
What makes a bird?
How do birds fly? How important are feathers? Can we tell their diets?
We look at the different ways birds are adapted to fly from exploring bones, to checking out feathers. We’ll also dissect some owl pellets and identify their diets.
Suitable for Foundation Phase through to KS4
Bees, Pollen and Plants!
How do bees collect pollen? How do plants grow in different soil? What makes pollinators special?
These are the questions we ask during our session. We’ll sample soil to find the perfect one for our plants, learn about different pollinators and what bees have that makes them the best for distributing pollen.
Suitable for Foundation Phase through to KS3
Pondering about Ponds!
What creatures live in a pond? Do they have special abilities to live underwater? How do they live in the water?
We’ll use nets and sample trays to find out what creatures live in our ponds and identify each one. Our future scientists will also help us survey the species by counting each one for our records.
Suitable for Foundation Phase through to KS4
*Our site only, not suitable for school locations unless ponds available.
Microscopic world of Minibeasts!
Understanding what mini-beasts live in different habitats from soil, to meadows, and to trees.
We’ll use collection pots, sweep nets and drop sheets to find a range of invertebrates in different habitats, we’ll finish off the session with a talk of all creatures we have found and why they are so unique.
