Class adoptions
An opportunity to get classes learning about British wildlife
Our class adoptions combine key elements of the National Curriculum and provide your pupils with an adopted animal within our park for the year ahead, to visit and learn about. We want to help ignite children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, through appreciation of our native wildlife and natural woodland.
The package consists of an engaging one hour educational workshop for your class at our park in Kent and an adoption of the associated animal, all for only £100.
We have a choice of four available workshops.
Brown Bear adoption with our “Bear Hunt” workshop
Take part in a fun outdoor session with woodland activities themed around bears.
Learn where bears live and make your own bear den using natural materials, then make a camouflage crown to improve your camouflage and become more like a bear.
The session takes place outdoors in the woods.
Badger adoption with our “Nocturnal Animal” workshop
Find out more about some of our native nocturnal animals and explore what makes them so well suited to night-time habitats through a mix of activities, including dressing up, role play, games and getting hands-on with resources.
Owl adoption with our “Awesome Owls” workshop
Hear about owl’s terrible table manners, what they like to eat and how they catch their food in the dark.
Then, dissect an owl pellet and see if you can identify what they last ate!
Find out what makes an owl so stealthy and if owls really do say ‘too-whit-too-whoo’.
Grey Wolf adoption with our “Let’s Talk Wolf” workshop
Investigate the question of how wolves talk to each other with the help of our puppet wolf, Wilf!
Take a closer look at wolves to decide which body parts they might use to communicate with and compare that to how we use our bodies for communication.
Compete in a howl-off to learn how to howl properly and test your senses against a wolf’s with fun challenges.
Beautiful exclusive A4 mounted photo of your chosen animal.
Certificate of adoption.
Animal fact sheet.
Ticket for one educational workshop (one hour).
Personalised class plaque at the animal’s enclosure.
All this for only £100!
Educational workshops are limited to thirty children, and one workshop is included within the package price.
Park entry is not included with the workshops and entry fees will need to be paid.
Group bookings are for a minimum of ten students and must be booked in advance.
Workshop tickets are valid for twelve months from purchase.
