2020 has been a difficult year for many, especially those working with children and young people across the region, Here at Suffolk Owl Sanctuary we continue to offer educational visits for groups, but understand that in these times, it may be impractical to organise a visit to our Sanctuary, or to have visitors come to you.
Following discussions with other Education Officers from collections around the world, we are pleased to be launching Virtual Sessions from October 2020. These will be live sessions for schools and groups, delivered via a secure Zoom link, on a range of topics linked to the national curriculum. The list below is the sessions we have prepared so far, but we are open to suggestions so please let us know if there is something else you would like us to cover:
Food chains and webs
British habitats
Nocturnal Animals
Raptor Conservation
All About Owls
Animal Storytime
Owl Pellet Detectives, either as a demo or as a practical. Owl pellets are priced at £3 each and should be ordered from our website 2 weeks before the session date: https://www.owl-help.org.uk/pellet-detectives

These sessions will be priced at £35. Each session will last up to 1 hour (practical Owl Pellet Detectives, may run a bit longer if required) and will include different activities relating to raptors and time for questions at the end. We can provide worksheets for these sessions, which will be made available from our website to download.
Sessions are available Mon-Fri 10-4, but if you would like to arrange a session outwith these times, please do get in touch with our Education Officer, Susan, to discuss.
