Badgers Day Out (half or full day)

Early Years

Nower Wood

The children help the badger to find a new home in the wood. They help him find the plants he needs and the other animals that will live near him. This includes investigating trees and flowers, looking for minibeasts and playing badger games. After lunch (a badgers picnic) they read a badger story and make a badger mask.

Our sessions are always planned and presented with the Health & Safety of the students in mind. The activities instil an awareness of the importance of observation when studying animals and plants in their natural habitats. Students are encouraged to treat the organisms with care and sensitivity. We also emphasise the need to look after our environment. Most importantly we hope you enjoy your day out, and return to school with a better understanding of how we fit into the natural world.
