Full Day 10.00am - 2.30pm. Years 3,4,5 & 6
Down to the Coast and Back
‘Why are the cliffs white? Where does the shingle come from? What erodes the rocky shoreline? With hands on activities and games, this programme is designed to get children asking questions about how the Seven Sisters and this spectacular piece of coastline were formed and to see at first-hand how natural forces continue to shape it. They are encouraged to think about the impact that Man has had on the area and consider the future in the face of climate change.
(The walk to the beach is 1½ miles. This programme is best undertaken at low tide)
Along the River Cuckmere
Rivers are an intrinsic part of our landscape and play an important role in our lives. Join us for a visit to the River Cuckmere with its iconic meanders and bring rivers alive for your group. Discover how the river fits within the landscape and learn about its importance for both wildlife and for us. Look at how the river plays its part in the water cycle. Find out how the river was formed, how it has been shaped by time, by natural forces and human events and look at the impact that changes in the future will have on this area. Field work includes estimating the speed of the river, the use of compasses, aerial photographs and maps and sketching.
Rock Pooling
In the rock pools beneath the Seven Sisters is an amazing habitat full of plants and animals that have adapted to living between the tides. Join us at low water to explore this incredible world. Identify sea anemones, crabs, limpets and sea squirts, seaweeds, fish and much more. Learn about how the plants and animals survive on the rocky shore by adapting to the environment in which they live. Find out how they feed, look at simple food chains on the rocky shore and consider how organisms living in this tough environment interact with each other.
(The walk to the beach is 1½ miles. This programme is subject to the suitability of the tides. Rock pooling is only possible at low tide.)
