| University Museum of Zoology | Very well organised, we were met at the door and allowed to leave our belongings in the lunchroom. Lift access for a wheelchair user had been arranged. Children were able to roam the galleries with their clipboards, remaining in sight of supervising adults. We had been sent resources prior to the visit-we could not visit the Learning Lab as the curator had Covid. Volunteers in the galleries were more than happy to answer pupils' (many) questions. | 06 April 2022 | |

| Foxburrow Farm - Suffolk Wildlife Trust | The staff at Foxburrow were very informative and able to answer the children's questions and support them with their observations. Although the water cycle and life cycle of plants were not mentioned the leaders made great links to the life cycle of animals, scientific observations and to our Wet and Wild topic of the Amazon. We went end of March and because the farm is so open children were cold- ensure lots of layers are worn! | 05 April 2022 | |

| Holland Park Ecology Centre | We had an excellent experience at the Holland Park Ecology Centre. From beginning to end they were incredibly helpful and informative throughout the booking process, pre-visit and of course during the trip itself. All members of staff and parents felt completely at ease and assured that the day was in good hands and that everything would run smoothly and effectively. The children had a wonderful time. Along with repeatedly stating that it was the best day ever, they learnt a great deal about deciduous and evergreen trees (linking in accurately with the Year 1 curriculum) within a fun and explorative environment. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and professional throughout. I would highly recommend the Holland Park Ecology Centre. | 05 April 2022 | |
