Over the four weeks we will be running some home educated workshops with our birds of prey and animals. These workshops are designed to give children the opportunity to get hands on experience as well as learning.

January 22nd – Owls

Pupils will have the opportunity to meet, handle and fly many different species of owls, these will include the Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, European Eagle Owl, Scops Owl and more. Children will learn all about the owls: how far can they turn their heads, silent flight and hunting techniques.

January 29th – British Birds of Prey

Pupils will have the opportunity to meet some of our native birds of prey including the Barn Owl, Kestrel, Little Owl, Tawny Owl, Red Kite & Golden Eagle. Pupils will be given a talk on each of the species discussing conservation, habitat & hunting techniques. Pupils will go on to handle some of the native species before heading out into the flying ground where they will be able to have a go at flying some of them.

February 5th – Birds of Prey

Pupils will have the opportunity to meet and handle some different species of birds including a hawk, eagle and falcon. Pupils will learn the difference between the species; hunting techniques, adaptations, wing shape and conservation. From here pupils will have the opportunity to fly a species of owl and Kestrel and then head out on into the surrounding fields for a walk with our hawks. (Please be aware that while out with the hawks parents are unable to accompany the children).

February 12th – Animals

Pupils will meet some of our animals we house here at the farm including our goats, alpacas and donkeys. Students will learn about the different breeds; diet & daily care. From here they will go on to meet some of our more unusual species including our skunk and some of our reptiles, pupils will learn about the conservation of the different species as well as how we care for them in captivity and their diet.
