New ‘Native Wildlife’ Workshops from Ulster Wildlife
Niamh Nic Cana Mon 19 Apr 2021
Starting in May 2021, we are offering three new species based workshops for pupils from P4 – P7 (Key stage two).
- Barn Owls
- Hedgehogs
- Red squirrels
These are iconic and much-loved native species that Ulster Wildlife are currently working to conserve and protect because each one is now recognized as endangered in Northern Ireland.
Take part in one or all of these interactive workshops to learn all about these amazing local creatures, what is threatening their future and how we can each do our part to help them survive and thrive. Curriculum links to ‘The world around us’.
Each online workshop lasts an hour and a half, and costs £75 per class (Approx. 30 pupils)
Full instructions and resources for all activities and games will be emailed prior to the zoom session talk.
In due course, following Government guidelines on Covid 19, we hope to deliver a guide led version of the workshops at your school. The cost of this workshop will be £95 per class (mileage included).
