Three Rivers themed workshops for Home Educated Families
About this Event

Join Seadream Education for this series of workshops specially developed for Bridging the Tamar to support the science & geography curriculums of home educated families.

Over 3 sessions families will take inspiration from the Tamar River to explore many different aspects of the river through these interactive workshops.

For more information about Seadream Education please visit their website: https://www.seadreameducation.com/

All sessions run from 1:30-3:30pm

Week 1: Tuesday, 19th May - River Ecology: Life in the Tamar

  • Explore habitats, food webs, and key species
  • Hands-on identification activities
  • Link to biodiversity and conservation.

Week 2: Tuesday, 2nd June - Water Quality & Monitoring

  • Investigate what makes a "healthy river"
  • Practical water testing (pH, turbidity, indicators)
  • Introduce real-world environmental monitoring

Week 3: Tuesday, 9th June - From River to Estuary

  • Understand how rivers connect to estuaries & seas
  • Explore human impact, climate change and sustainability

This workshop has been developed for children aged 7-13 years old, but we leave it up to parents/guardians to decide if this is likely to be suitable for their child and attendance is open for all ages.

Children 8+ years old may attend the session without an adult, but will require a consent form to be completed via electronic form prior to the session.

Children under 8 years old MUST be accompanied by an adult throughout the sessions.

TOTAL price £20 per person for all 3 sessions (All adults required to accompany children under 8, and any adults who wish to accompany older children during sessions must purchase a ticket as space in the workshop area is limited)
