Schools Programme

*Schools Programme* Suitable for both primary and secondary schools, Dave or Sue are available to visit schools for full days with a flexible programme to suit your needs. The day can include a series of repeated presentations or a mixture of presentations and workshops for a single year group or class, according to the requirements and abilities of the pupils.			*Home Page*

Many primary teachers have found a visit from the Rainforest Roadshow to be a valuable stimulus in teaching the rainforest as a topic or as part of a science, art or environment activity week. For secondary schools, hour long presentations can be repeated throughout the day to fit in with the restrictions of the school timetable.			*Education Resources and Videos*

Quotes from school visits

"Many thanks for coming in and giving such an inspiring talk. The pupils were very enthusiastic and talkative about it afterwards, as were the staff - a superb morning."

Secondary school geography teacher, Shropshire

"The children really enjoyed it and learnt so much - your experiences, artefacts and animals really brought it alive for them and the teachers. It was a really valuable part of our Environment Week".

Primary school teacher, London

"Thank you very much for the magnificent day you gave for us .... To stimulate young minds to understand sensitive environments and appreciate the cultures and creatures they support is an extremely important role. You achieve this very successfully.

Primary school head teacher, West Midlands

"The level of challenge in lessons is appropriately high. For example, pupils in Year 5 were able to speak and write at an above average level about their views about environmental change. The good use of resources had a major impact on the learning for the lesson. The use of an outside expert speaker inspired a high level of interest and enthusiasm in pupils."
