The Presentation

The presentation will be in language aimed specifically at your pupils’ age group whether they are nursery or university students. Analogies relating their everyday life and experiences are used to ensure they understand the information they receive and should you have a wide age range of pupils we are happy to do more than one presentation.

The primary purpose of our visit is to stimulate the pupil’s interest in the marvels of nature and make them aware of how important it is to conserve wildlife and the habitat that supports all living creatures, including themselves.

The subjects covered within the national curriculum are Life Processes and Living Things and certain aspects of Geography. The main subjects being adaptation, food chains, camouflage, flight, population dynamics, predator prey relationships, pollution and habitat destruction. We are also happy to cover any specific subject on request. 

 The presentation would normally take place within the school hall as we are then not weather dependant, plus the pupils and birds alike concentrate better in a controlled environment. The birds are trained to fly indoors and the effect of a Bald Eagle with a two meter wingspan flying over the heads of the teachers and pupils has a profound effect.After meeting each bird and seeing it fly, the pupils are encouraged to ask questions. These will be repeated before answering them sensitively and with new words to the pupils explained in plain English in relation to their level of understanding.     The suggested duration of each presentation is as follows. 

Nursery only………………20 to 30 minutes.

KS1………………………..45 to 60 minutes.

KS2………………………..60 to 90 minutes.

 KS3 / 4 & above…………..60 to 120 minutes.

If you feel that your class would need a longer or shorter presentation time we are more than happy to discuss your requirements with you. Please do not hesitate to ask.
