School Workshop Online Workshop Wales
We offer various Wildlife Outreach topics to schools and groups. Whether you're interested in a talk by one of our conservationists about wildlife, conservation, monitoring or dedicated to a topic of your choice, we can cater for that. We also offer Interactive Outreach sessions where we will bring all the fun about wildlife right to you!

What activities are available during this school workshop?
We offer some exciting and innovative educational sessions!
• Saving our Seas - What creatures live in the sea? How can we help these creatures? We explore the depths of the ocean and how creatures are affected by things such as plastic pollution and fishing.
• Bees & Pollinators - Have a look at different plants and how they create pollen, see if you can work out the various bees; queen, worker and female.
• Birds & their Ecology - How do birds fly? Why are feathers different? How do birds eat? Explore different parts of birds and create your own bird in your teams to have a go at flying them yourselves.
• Creatures Past & Present - Take a look at what creatures lived in the world including dinosaurs before looking at recent counterparts and how they live in their habitats.
All of our sessions include a range of props and exploration items - have you ever seen dinosaur teeth or birds wings?!

Which curriculum topics do we cater for?
Environmental Geography
Conservation Pollution Climate change
THE MARINE WORLD
Key Topics: Pollution, Adaptations, Biology, Conservation
Delve into the deep with us looking at marine creatures! Throughout this workshop, we look at the unique techniques used by whales, dolphins and seals and how these benefit the creatures. We also look at the effects humans have on the ocean and how we can do better, coming up with our own missions.
Geology
Plate Tectonics Fossils Geological Processes Rocks
PAST & PRESENT CREATURES
Key Topics: Fossils, Adaptations, Evolution
Dive into the world of fossils with us. We take a look at creatures from the past and whether we can form a timeline of creatures from today, taking a look at their evolution and adaptations over time. With this workshop, we bring a range of fossils and skulls for children to look and discover for themselves how exactly these new creatures came to be.
Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs are unique and special - but did you know some still exist today?
Discover Fossils with us! We delve into how creatures used to be millions of years ago, and see whether we can find any links between creatures today and those in the era of dinosaurs. Through these interactive workshops, we look at skulls, fossils and allow children to discover for themselves evolution and adaptations.
Wildlife

BIRDS & THEIR ECOLOGY
Key Topics: Life Cycles, Food Chains, Habitats, Biology
Take flight with our creativity and discover how birds' bodies have been adapted to support flight. We then look at how birds fit into our eco-systems have form part of our food chains with us seeing both predators and prey.
BEES, POLLEN & PLANTS
Key Topics: Adaptations, Pollination, Biology
An easily recognisable bunch of creatures that children of all ages have witnessed in their lives. We take a look at different types of bees; queen, worker and social, as well as shapes of butterflies and plant flowers to see whether we can form connections between adaptations.

Click to read full text Wildlife is EXCITING! We are ready to take you on a journey looking at various parts of biology focusing mostly on evolution, particularly fossils and how animals have changed over time. We also look at bees and birds and their unique ways they navigate their lives.

Through these interactive workshops, we look at skulls, fossils and allow children to discover for themselves evolution and adaptations.
• Bees, Pollen & Plants: How do plants produce pollen and photosynthesis? We learn about a range of pollinators including bees, butterflies and moths and how they play a part in the world. Through this we look at colour wheels and the ultra-violet spectrum to see whether we can indeed see the same as bees? We also look at how plants are formed to attract different creatures such as flat flowers for butterflies and tube flowers for bumblebees.
