Countryside Classroom Days

The opportunity for schools to visit country estates and for the children to find out more about the teams of people who take care of the environment and tend the estate land.

We are lucky enough to be able to offer days at historic and beautiful rural estates all over the country.

We call these our Countryside Classroom Days. These days typically have six different activities and classes will be invited from six different schools. The children will rotate around the activities in their class groups. Sometimes the days are very much about the Estate and activities may be run by the Estate staff. We advise the Estates on curriculum links and ensure that activities are safe and appropriate.

In these cases the activities may be -

• Gardens

• Forestry

• Game Keeping

• Farming

• Joinery

• Horses

• Deer

Sometimes we use the Estates as a backdrop and location for our days and we partner with organisations who assist us to put on more general countryside days, activities may include -

• Food chains

• Adaptations- creating the ultimate predator

• Countryside Code

• Dogs and dog care

• Tree ID

• Countryside crafts

These days take place throughout the year at various venues.
