What season is it? How do we know? We will explore the natural environment through our senses and exciting environmental games. Pupils can develop an enhanced awareness of their natural environment and how it changes throughout the year.
Example Timetable
This course usually runs from 10am – 2.30pm but times can be adjusted to suit your group and travel plans. During your visit you will be welcome to the centre and given an appropriate health and safety briefing. During the day we will undertake a number of activities, games and investigations (the exact activities will depend on the topic chosen). We will break for lunch at a suitable time. Please note that specific activities for your group are subject to change. We go out in all weathers and seasons and will tailor the content of the day accordingly.
