Let us bring your Year 1 ‘Animals, including Humans’ or Year 2 ‘Living things and their Habitats’ topics to life as we discover which creatures have their own unique ‘superpowers’ to help them survive in the habitats at Carymoor! Meet some awesome Animal Superheroes whose powers often surpass those of our favourite Superheroes from the movies. If your class would like to come dressed as Superheroes for the day, we would encourage them to do so!
Go on an action-packed discovery walk through our nature reserve, with fun activities linked to the creatures that live here and their ‘superpowers’, including: A dung beetle ‘dung ball’ rolling obstacle course; badger’s buffet game; and making some crazy camouflaged creatures!
Explore our pond habitat and find out about some of the remarkable ‘superpowers’ of the creatures that live there. Including Britain’s fastest flying insect and some amazing amphibians, plus make clay creatures (Year 1s) or willow dragonflies (year 2) to take home!
Please note: This day is only available from March to July.
