Butterflies: Life Cycles and Habitats School Workshops

This workshop provides pupils with a hands on introduction to the fascinating life of a butterfly, including:

• Their life cycle
• How they use their senses differently to humans
• What habitats they favour and why
• What they need to survive

Pupils will take part in demonstrations, create the perfect butterfly habitat, and put their observational skills to the test to complete a sketch.

 From March - November, add on an extra hour to introduce pupils to the incredible minibeasts found in their own school environment.

Pupils will explore the habitats found in your school grounds, identifying minibeasts and discussing how their habitat meets their needs. This can be tailored to suit the outdoor spaces available at your school, such as:

• Playing fields
• Woodland areas
• Ponds
• Overgrown areas, hedgerows and field edges

This workshop supports key science curriculum topics including:
•    Living things and their habitats
•    Animals including humans

This workshop is ideal for focus days / weeks, making curriculum learning memorable, outdoor learning / forest school sessions and 'hook' lessons.

We offer primary science and nature workshops across a variety of topics, including habitats, minibeasts, life cycles, fossil and evolution. Please see our other listings for more details.

All of our workshops include:
•    Hands on science learning
•    An experienced instructor
•    All equipment provided
•    Additional resources to support curriculum topics sent to the school
•    Session specific risk assessments
•    Fun for all!
