Supporting school teachers in the delivery of the Science and Geography curricula through natural history activities at school and in nature.
I have worked in wildlife education for over five years, designing, developing and delivering natural history activities for schools. The activities are interactive and designed to encourage debate amongst the pupils, self-thinking and problem solving where appropriate. Whilst structured, the activities are fun and informal to encourage inclusive participation.
AT SCHOOL

Costs: Half day – £50.00; Full day – £70.00 Assembly – on request.
IN NATURE
In addition to the outreach services, I am currently sourcing a venue which will enable me to to offer my ‘In Nature’ services in a safe, natural environment.
All school trips to the venue will be free.
