Pupils will discover nature's best kept secret - how to fly.

Together we will discover what it is that makes birds fly. Your pupils will see for themselves how different species do it differently and they will be challenged to create their own flying machine based on what they have seen at the reserve. This is a rich learning opportunity with strong links to the KS2 Science Curriculum and ESDGC. We can tailor sessions to meet the needs of your class and incorporate your learning objectives into the session.

Sessions can be half day or full day, its up to you. For more information and prices please contact Tara Okon on tara.okon@rspb.org.uk [1] or call 01633636354
