Supporting curriculum-based learning outdoors

Description

Immerse your class in hands-on learning with an educational school visit to our fabulous nature reserve. Our sessions are led by RSPB education professionals who are specialists in their field and able to engage all abilities, while helping you meet your learning objectives.

It's a great opportunity to inspire your children to talk about their science and geography learning while fully engaging in the great outdoors.
- Curriculum linked half or full day sessions
- Varied and well-paced sessions
- Get pupils working scientifically and using technical vocabulary in context
- Build pupils’ resilience and character
- Potential for ongoing learning back in the classroom

Home to a wealth of wildlife, children can investigate habitats and adaptations dipping into our ponds or watching the many ducks, geese and swans that visit the reserve.

We have a classroom and a full range of equipment to support an exciting range of hands-on activities so your class can get the most from their visit.

Bring your class to Newport Wetlands for an unforgettable experience designed to bring learning to life.
