Multiple class workshops E-learning

At Travelling Natural History, we have a massive range of animatronic walking dinosaurs, giant movie quality props (dinosaurs, marine animals, artic animals, and jungle animals), a superb collection of all types of fossils. We also have a zoo of live reptiles, including our very own Giant African Tortoise. All of these are accompanied by our Natural History expert presenters, bespoke curriculum, which is directly linked with the National Curriculum, and associated hands-on activities. We have combined these to create an immersive, interactive, and engaging E-learning programme that can be accessed by pupils learning from home in a virtual classroom setting. Our interactive workshops include:

Year 1 - Carnivores vs herbivores

National Curriculum Objective:

Animals, Inc humans - identify and name a variety of common animals that are carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.

Year 2 - Living, dead or never alive

National Curriculum Objective:

Living things and their habitats - explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things that have never been alive.

Year 3 - Rocks and fossils

National Curriculum Objective:

Rocks - describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock.

Year 4- Predators and prey

National Curriculum Objective:

Animals, Inc humans - construct and interpret a variety of food chains, identifying producers, predators and prey.

Year 5 – End of the dinosaurs

Year 6 – Fossil evidence of evolution

The workshop brought to life concepts we had been learning like ‘herbivores’ and ‘carnivores’. The experiments and demonstrations were engaging. The workshop activities had been organised with Early Years in mind and the children had lots of fun.

Dear Dinogirl, Thank you so much for the Virtual Workshop session today. The children loved it! Sorry about the awkward questions – maybe we had covered so efficiently about dinosaurs before your visit that the children were only left with hard questions!!! They were unanimous in liking the moving triceratops most! Thanks again, Oak Class. Following Reception Yr Virtual workshop 30th March 2021

A massive massive thank you to you and your team – what an amazing show you put on! It wowed everyone who came from toddlers to teachers.
