“The lesson was perfectly pitched for my Year 1 class. The lesson was engaging and allowed for lots of interaction with the class. The children loved it and learned so much about marine life habitats and diets. I would highly recommend to any school who wants to learn from an expert in the field of marine biology but who delivers the information in a child friendly and effective way.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Brilliantly pitched, interactive, fun, engaging and informative.”

“An engaging session that had my class completely
hooked! Would definitely recommend”

“If children don’t grow up knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it. And if they don’t understand it, they won’t protect it. And if they don’t protect it, who will?”
- Sir David Attenborough

Pricing
We recognise that many schools want to maximise the value for their students in the face of budgetary constraint, we are happy to discuss pricing options to suit you, this could be something like a flat day rate or a price per head strategy. We recommended booking a day visit session to maximise value for money, rather than a singular lesson or workshop.
Included in every day session is:
A full day of lessons and workshops on topics of your choosing, tailored to
your classes age group and curriculum. We will happily suggest lessons for you if you prefer.Practical demonstrations and activities for many relevant topics.
