Key Stage 3 - Animal Story

Key Stage 3

Our Key Stage 3 level program’s help teach pupils to have a positive attitude towards wildlife. All topics are National Curriculum linked, designed and perfected to help complement the teacher in the classroom, as well as promote pupil’s social and attention skills, along with communication, creative thinking and provide confidence building. Our animals are chosen for their suitability and calmness. We actively encourage all children to partake, however our presenter will never push, judge or force an individual into touching or holding something they are unwilling to.

National Curriculum:
