Engaging Whole-School Assemblies
Talks include:
- Bringing Science Alive: Hands-On Nature Learning in Primary Schools
Many children experience science mainly through books and screens. Drawing on 19 years delivering wildlife and nature programmes in schools, this talk explores how hands-on encounters with minibeasts, habitats and ecosystems can bring science to life and spark genuine curiosity in the natural world.
- From Curiosity to Care – How Real Nature Encounters Inspire Learning
Children are naturally curious about the living world around them. When they encounter real animals and habitats, questions flow naturally and science learning follows. This talk introduces the Wildworkshops approach: Encounter → Curiosity → Explanation → Care, and explores how real wildlife encounters can transform engagement with science and environmental understanding.
