Educational visits to Queen Elizabeth Country Park

Minibeast safari

Discover the minibeasts living at the park and investigate their habitats and learn why they live here.

Key Stage 1 students will be taught how to collect creatures safely, recognise different animals’ body parts, and simple animal identification.

Key Stage 2 students will focus on classification, behaviour, food chains and habitats.

Adaptation to habitat

Children will compare the different habitats of woodlands, meadows, and ponds through a series of fun activities.

Plants

Discover how plants live, grow, germinate, and are used across the globe, and develop your children’s understanding of habitats and food chains through fun games.

Seasonal senses

Explore the park using your senses through creative activities that encourage children to learn about nature using all of their senses.

Woodland animals

Discover the animals around the park through fun games and activities including where they live, what they like to eat and their unique characteristics.

Den building

Work together as you race against the clock to source materials for a natural shelter, build the structure and test the waterproofing.
