Trips in EYFS

Year A

Peak Wildlife park

A visit to Peak Wildlife Park will bring the topic of Cold, Cold, Cold to life as children explore the fascinating world of penguins up close. Through engaging, hands-on experiences, they will learn how penguins survive in freezing environments, what they eat, how they care for their young, and how their unique adaptations help them thrive in the cold. This exciting trip will deepen their understanding of life in extreme climates and spark curiosity about the natural world. This will support pupils learning around the world, especially focusing on geography and scientific elements.

Blue Planet Aquarium

Our visit to the Blue Planet Aquarium is a wonderful opportunity for our EYFS pupils to explore the wonders of the underwater world. Surrounded by colourful fish, sharks, and sea creatures of all shapes and sizes, the children will be immersed in a sensory-rich environment that supports early learning and curiosity. The experience encourages language development, observation skills, and a deeper understanding of marine life, all while sparking awe and excitement in our youngest learners. It’s a fun and educational day that brings their learning to life in a truly memorable way. This will enable the children to learn more about life around the world, especially under the sea! Focusing on the elements of science and history.

Year B

Chester Zoo 

A trip to Chester Zoo provides EYFS children with a valuable sensory experience, allowing them to observe animals from hot climates and understand the concept of "hot hot hot" through the animals' adaptations and the zoo's tropical environments. This will sort pupils learning around their knowledge of the world, focusing in particular on the science and geography elements. 

Jodrell Bank

A visit to Jodrell Bank allows EYFS children to experience the vastness of space through engaging exhibits and interactive displays, sparking their curiosity and laying the foundation for future scientific exploration.

The children will travel by coach and will enjoy a story-time session, self-led time exploring exhibitions and a Space Dome session. This will support the children's learning around their knowledge of the world, focusing in particular on the science and history elements

Hoglets

A visit from "Hoglets" will provide a fantastic hands-on opportunity for children to observe and interact with British wildlife, reinforcing their understanding of seasonal habitat changes and enriching their science and forest school learning throughout the year. This will support the childrens knowledge of the world, particular within the scientific sections.
