Carymoor Environmental Trust

Wild Days Out (Key Stage 1)

Take part in one of our exciting, hands-on days out using the extensive range of habitats and wildlife found at Carymoor. Activities on offer change with the seasons and use a variety of approaches including guided walks, trails, games and crafts. Most activities take place outdoors, with indoor options available for inclement weather. We are happy to tailor activities and themes to the needs of your group.

 

Choose up to two themes for your day from the following:

Wildlife Detectives: A discovery walk around Carymoor, finding clues and evidence of the creatures who share the surrounding area with us. Always lots to see and hear.

Minibeast Mayhem: Use the range of habitats at Carymoor to discover who lives where and who eats who: Lots of games and activities to encourage learning in a fun and informal way.

Sensory Sensations: Use our all-year sensory garden and a range of games and activities to discover how our senses help us to survive.

Carymoor Crafts: Use Carymoor clay to make a hibernating hedgehog or woodland ‘Boglin’, decorated with natural materials, then use our home-grown willow to construct a dragonfly each to take home.

Taking Shelter: All creatures need a safe place to sleep and rear their young: A chance to find out where many of our wild creatures live - then build a shelter of your own! Will it pass the watering-can test?!

Beaks, Feet and Wings: Carymoor has a variety of habitats which suit different birds. Using the site plus a range of games and activities, discover some of their amazing adaptations.

Bee Amazed: For the summer term only. Using our safe observation hive watch the different duties performed by bees! See the structure of the hive and learn about bee lifecycles, honey production and storage. Games and activities help reinforce what can be seen.
