Home Schooler’s Day Sessions – Selling Fast!
Our award-winning Discovery & Learning Team will be giving engaging animal and wildlife sessions around the zoo covering the national curriculum for all learners from EYFS to KS4.
For 4-5 year olds (EYFS)
Animal Differences – Gibbon Forest, 11:15 – 11:35
This interactive session will introduce early years to the difference between insects, mammals, reptiles and birds. Children will be encouraged to experience different textures to think about how we group animals.
For 5-7 year olds
Habitats and Adaptations – Gibbon Forest, 11:45 – 12:05
We will explore some amazing artefacts to identify adaptations of animals, which live in different habitats around the world.
For 7-11 year olds
Scientific Investigations – Gibbon Forest, 10:45 – 11:05
Children will take part in their own scientific investigation and learn how to measure animal behaviour – just like researchers in the zoo!
11 – 16 year olds
Evolution: Origin of Species – Study Centre, 1:30 – 1:50
In this session, we will explore how animals have changed slowly over time and discover the importance of variation. We will also discuss the importance of natural selection and how human activity can affect this natural process.
