Number Munching

Pupils will use their math skills outdoors by exploring our allotments to tally and graph vegetables, squeezing fresh apple juice to explore weights, volumes and fractions found in spheres, and creating their own treasure map to hunt for the hidden vegetables.

Rainforest Experience

What lives and grows in a tropical rainforest? By exploring our unique rainforest, pupils will discover the geographical location of rainforests, animals, their habitats and food chains, how the tribal people survived on what they could hunt and grow throughout the seasons, and make a musical instrument that sounds like the rain falling. An amazing rainforest animal handler is available at an extra cost.

Seasonal Change

During autumn, winter and spring, pupils will have the opportunity to expand their literacy and science skills . They will use computing equipment to identify and describe the trees of Iver and make their own film. Pupils will also explore cold weather habitats for mini-beasts, investigate plant structure and health using our allotments, then plant their own seed to take back to school.

River Detectives (upper KS2 to KS3)

In the safe and shallow waters of the River Misbourne in the Denham Country Park pupils will investigate the adaptations of aquatic invertebrates and habitats of the river. Pupils will also study the geography and processes of the river by taking measurements of depth and speed and making a line graph. During a self-guided walk pupils will follow a map to discover the different features of the park.

Food and Farming

Where does our food come from and how does it get to our plate? Pupils will discover the food production process by visiting a local working farm, making their own butter and flour. They will also explore the structure of plants and the seasonality of growing local foods by hunting for fruits and vegetables in our allotments. The farm tour incurs an extra cost of £2 per child.
