Silent Valley Reserve
We have been running on-site curriculum linked environmental education
programmes at our Silent Valley reserve south of Ebbw Vale. Popular
and continuing programmes for Early Years, KS1 and 2 include "Woodland
Minibeasts", "Trees" and "Forest School".
|
|
New programmes include "What a waste!"
(a KS2 study in recycling in nature and manmade environments) and
"Science - Fieldwork and Ecology" ( a practical KS3 investigation
of flora and fauna in woodland, meadow and hedgerow habitats). Free
Teacher's Packs are available for these two programmes.
Many other subjects can be catered for - please ask for
more details. Also ask about sessions with our qualified field
teachers.
Price: £1.50 per child/student per session.
|
|
These programmes are available at
Silent Valley and at the
Magor Marsh reserve near Newport. Pond dipping is also run at Magor
Marsh. Why not compare and contrast the South Wales valleys (Silent
Valley reserve) with the only remaining piece of original Gwent Levels at
Magor Marsh?
