🌊 Skills Pathway Visit to the National Marine Aquarium 🐠

Yesterday, our Skills Pathway students enjoyed a fantastic trip to the National Marine Aquarium, where they had the opportunity to explore a wide variety of marine life and learn more about the incredible ecosystems found beneath the waves.

As part of the visit, students also took part in an interactive workshop led by the Aquarium’s education team. This session helped them develop their understanding of marine habitats, conservation, and the importance of protecting our oceans, while encouraging curiosity and hands-on learning throughout the day.

It was a brilliant experience that supported learning beyond the classroom, and the students engaged really well, asking thoughtful questions and showing great enthusiasm. A big thank you to the National Marine Aquarium team for a memorable and inspiring visit! 🌍✨

🐾 Vocation Pathway Trip to Dartmoor Zoo 🐾

Yesterday, a group of our Vocation Pathway students enjoyed an exciting and enriching visit to Dartmoor Zoo! It was a fantastic opportunity for them to see a wide range of animals up close, from impressive big cats to fascinating reptiles, bringing their learning to life outside the classroom.

In the afternoon, students took part in an engaging Conservation Workshop led by Izzy, a member of the Dartmoor Zoo team. This session gave them the chance to deepen their understanding of conservation and different habitats, including the important roles of in-situ and ex-situ environments.

The day was a great mix of hands-on learning, curiosity, and fun, and the students represented themselves brilliantly throughout. A huge thank you to Dartmoor Zoo and Izzy for such a memorable and educational experience! 🌍✨
