Minibeasts in Schools

Who Gives a Hoot:

Raf Appleby - Head Teacher - Blue Gate Montesorri School Carlisle "No school should be without regular visits from Silverband. We teach the children about animals but without the hands on experience of a Silverband visit the children's education is incomplete. We love Silverband's visits to Blue Gate and the respect the children learn for animals and the world around them dovetails perfectly with the Montessori Philosophy."

Paul Ashton - Shiney Row School - Sunderland All of the visits from Silverband Falconry are fascinating and Educationally correct. All of the staff are experts in their field with a vast knowledge of how to interact with children. They don't only cover the science curriculum but many Topics and subjects on a cross curricular basis. They work closely with the staff in school to guarantee a successful day. What can I say other than - Brilliant - I would strongly recommend a visit.

Brian Convey - Milburn Primary School - Penrith I have worked with Silverband Falconry for many years and have always been amazed at what they bring in to School. Not only animals etc but in Excitement Expertise and Education. They really do what it says on the box. A visit well worth having.



The most important things that any child can get from a visit like this is EDUCATION, FUN, LAUGHTER AND ENJOYMENT	Mini Beasts - School Visits - Silverband Falconry Cumbria UK
	Children always have a passion for the grottier side of life whether they admit it or not. Our Wildlife Interpreters will engage them instantly with animals such as. Giant African Land Snails the same size as a Man's Fist. Scorpions that change colour A Bearded Dragon who eats his Lunch for the Kids.			Dude the Bearded Dragon Basks in Glory from His Latest Triumph
	How does it work We realise that every school is different and may have different time tables. It is the job of our Education Coordinator to plan closely with the school Head Teacher or member of staff that is involved in the visit to ensure that you get the very best out of your day. We do have guidelines that we discuss with you that have proven to work time and time again to the very greatest success. Handling workshops In our experience we have found that we are in a very hands on world and that people no matter how tall or how small want to experience fully and of course children especially have always looked with their hands. All animals used in workshops are trained and happy to be handled. The very greatest of care is taken to ensure the safety of the children and animals at all times. This is a fantastic opportunity to really see and examine the creature, within a very safe environment, always on a 1 2 1 basis. What subjects do we cover We are happy to cover any subject or topic that you may be working on but are often invited into school to give the children an experience that they can benefit from. Subjects that we cover a great deal are:		Staff Training Our staff have many years practical field experience. They are also trained to a high standard in how to interact with children treating them with respect and fairness at all times All staff are trained to deal with all disabilities at any level so no child need miss out Interactive Talks ENJOYMENT = EDUCATION Games: Have also been designed to aid the demonstration of important features and points in some of the animals, this is also a great deal of fun for the children who laugh and smile while they learn.
