Falconry Experience in Kent - What Will The Students Learn?
With the help of Sybil, Alaska, Basil and Sparky, children will discover new things about the natural world with topics ranging from evolution and adaptation to the 6th mass extinction, life cycles, food chains, and population dynamics.

For EYFS, explore delightful stories like "Owl Babies" or "The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark," while Key Stage 4 students can delve into more advanced topics such as flight mechanics, adaptation, and the role of mitochondrial DNA in evolution.
