Duration: 90 minutes
Ratios: 1:10
Groups running at one time: 1
Recommendations:
- Closed toe shoes must be worn for all activities.
- Comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
Accessible: Can be made accessible to all
Additional info: This session runs from March – October. Links very well with pond dipping. If the group has a particular focus e.g. habitats it is better to let us know prior to the session so we can plan accordingly.
Fun: Field Studies sessions can be enjoyed by all.
Skill: By offering various elements to our Field Studies programme we can foster environmental knowledge, skill acquisition, group cooperation and communication. All sessions aim to provide all individuals with a role to play in the success of the group.
Support & Cohesion: By taking part in a shared experience, Field Studies can improve group and leader familiarisation as individuals work closely together.
Fitness & Wellbeing: This activity by the nature of its location promotes an appreciation of the benefits of the outdoors for wellbeing and fitness.
When incorporated as part of a development programme of activities, Field Studies activities can support increased attainment and develop character and soft skills all of which are key life skills. Individuals will be able to recognise their own achievements and individual progression, as well as have the opportunity to develop personal qualities such as self-reliance, perseverance, self-belief and increased levels of confidence.
