Our work focusing on nature and wildlife education was highlighted on the Channel M breakfast show. We were invited to discuss our efforts in bringing nature into primary schools.
WildWorkshops takes pride in providing tailored visits. With our background in primary education, we can design days that perfectly align with any nature-themed event or focus area, such as water, light, animals, pets, plants, rainforests, school grounds, or eco-schools.
WildWorkshops offers sessions tailored to four distinct levels: Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1, Lower Key Stage 2, and Upper Key Stage 2. However, we're flexible and capable of working with students up to Year 8. For each level, except Foundation Stage, we provide two-tiered modules. This structure enables children to progress and expand on their learning from previous years.
This workshop is delivered by Steven Lewis-Neill, a fully qualified Primary Teacher with experience across all Key Stages. As a former Science Coordinator, I've provided staff training in Scientific Enquiry. My research in Liverpool primary schools focused on animals' positive impact on children's self-esteem. With an MSc in Animal Behaviour, I founded WildWorkshops. Now, I offer schools practical science workshops inspired by British wildlife, aligning with the science curriculum.

Can't thank you enough for the work you did with our Year 2 class. It truly was an amazing experience for our children.
Staff have commended the work you did and the atmosphere amongst the children was electric.
Thank you for delivering your fantastic workshop, the children absolutely loved it. The staff all enjoyed it as well and said how engaged the children were.
Hands-on nature workshops for EYFS, KS1 and KS2, connecting children with the wildlife on their doorstep. Perfect for Minibeasts, Classification, Habitats, Living things, Animals including Humans etc .
A base for the visit is preferred. Though not essential, a projector/whiteboard/tv to run our laptop through would benefit the sessions. A work surface such as tables make practical elements easier though we can work on mats.
