Book your Experience
School Visits
In today’s era of modern technology, it is often the case many children are unable to identify important aspects of their surrounding environment. In a study of 217 seven to 16 year olds, half of all the 7 year olds failed to recognise the blackbird while non could identify the Kestrel.
Feathers and Fur is a falconry centre based just outside Reading. Our aim is to open the eyes and minds of people to the wonderful world of Birds of Prey and Animals by encouraging children to see and care about the wildlife that is often found on their doorstep and to help learn about and conserve those that are not. We believe that a hands on learning approach is best with the aim to allow children a once in a life time chance to see and often handle some of natures truly stunning creations.
Feathers and Fur brings a whole new dimension to classroom teaching. Not only does an educational talk from Feathers and Fur offer benefits to a wide range of Science subjects, but the experience can be used to cover many other important key stage topics such as descriptive writing, literacy, communication, citizenship, art and number skills.
Issues such as conservation or species adaption’s be tailored to Key Stage and age groups. Our fun, hands on and energetic style ensures that each child will not only enjoy learning but will take away a memory that may stay with them throughout life.
“We would thoroughly recommend a visit from Feathers and Fur. It was wonderful experience for all our children from 3-11years! Following the visit the children produced some outstanding work – poetry, fact books and lots of art work including a life size model of Willow the barn owl! Thank you Sadie!”
