KTCF Educational Tours
Educational visits are suitable for children across the primary age range from Early Years through Key Stage 2. The visits are tailored to support learning goals around living things, animals and plants in the science curriculum. The resources of the “outdoor classroom” are used to enhance children’s learning through direct experience of life on the farm. Education officer, Chris Heath, leads the educational tours and has been teaching schools at the farm for over 20 years.
A visit at any time of year is a valuable experience and it’s an excellent place to study the changing seasons. Children can observe how trees, plants and animals are affected and react in autumn, winter, spring and summer.
