Schools

My work in Primary Schools centres upon encouraging children to discover their own passion for plant life. I offer teachers curriculum-focused, creative ideas for their plant-related teaching, from Early Years to KS2, through a range of flexible services:

  Bespoke INSET training – on anything plant-related;

  Outdoor and indoor teaching sessions / activities for pupils;

  Whole-school assemblies;

  Seasonal observational trails around your school site or immediate area, for repeated use;

  Fresh ideas for lesson planning;

  Whole-school Science Week activities;

  Evolution workshop (2hrs) specifically for Year 6 pupils;

Using your grounds for plant identification

The 2014 National Curriculum places a strong emphasis on plants, and involves plant identification. I can identify the wild flowers, trees and shrubs in your school grounds, and produce a tailor-made collection of curriculum-targeted activities that will enable you to use these plants in your teaching throughout the year.
