Free field studies sessions for Norfolk schools KS1-4

Enhance the science curriculum and get your students outside with fully funded field studies sessions, featuring a range of activities customisable to your topics. This is the last term in which the Marriott's Way Heritage Trail project will be working with Joe Zilch, a UEA Biological Sciences student, to deliver Field Studies, Council-inspired sessions including team challenges, pond dipping, environmental art, minibeasts, shelter building and woodland tree ID.

These sessions (whole or half days) will be based at sites along Marriott's Way, and transport can be arranged at no cost for schools who are further than walking distance away from these locations. We can also include elements of the engineering and Victorian railway heritage of Norfolk and the Marriott's Way, if you would like us to arrange this. Our existing learning programme will continue to run alongside - and beyond - this new offer but we would love as many schools as possible to take part in field studies sessions this term, and to contribute to Joe's research into the impact of outdoor learning on young people's attitudes to nature.
