Key Stage 3-4

• Our talks and tours take from thirty to forty minutes.
• We like to keep the size of the group to around twenty pupils.
• Whilst many of our talks and tours relate to the National Curriculum, some simply enthuse and inspire the children.

You are welcome to select any of our Key stage 1 or 2 tours and talks.

In addition, we offer:

Africa: camels, zebra, rhinoceros, lions and leopards
Rainforests: lemurs, sloths, hornbills, turaco, squirrel monkeys, parrots and tamarins.

Classification:

Based around the Reptile House, with its collection of reptiles, amphibians and fish, and the invertebrate house, this session concentrates on the classification of the main vertebrate and invertebrate phyla. Some classification of mammals and birds is included, using species from the surrounding area of the Park, for example owls, vultures, bats and gibbons. Because of the size of the Reptile House, this talk has a maximum of 15 pupils at one time.
