Brambles School Workshops

School visits to Brambles are fully guided by our enthusiastic farm and animal experts tghroughout the school workshops. There are several activity sessions, which are designed to gradually develop the student’s knowledge about animals, their needs and dependencies, and encourages an awareness of our responsibilities towards living creatures.

The content of the activities is designed to support all of the National Curriculum Key Stages.Spending quality time with animals during these school workshops has a natural therapeutic effect on anyone who comes in contact with them. Students tend to be more receptive to new information when given in a different way and environment.

If you would like to discuss the opportunity to include your own ideas within our activities, we can tailor each session’s activities to address specific current school subjects. Learning is intermingled with games, stories and simple crafts to facilitate learning, whilst out of the classroom environment.We provide teacher introductory and take-away packs, to get the most out of each visit, prompt memories and to support classroom discussions.

"I think the big 'plus' with Brambles is the provision for allowing the pupils to actually see close-up and even touch the animals! Also, your expert knowledge and enthusiasm was a real boon! I liked the 'presents' that we took home, too!" Gary - Visiting teacher of Year 5 children
