A Nature-Based School Trip on Habitats, Sustainability and the Environment
Looking for an unforgettable school trip focused on nature, sustainability and the environment? Welcome to Project Bees at Ufton Court – a hands-on educational adventure where science, conservation, and curiosity come together.
Designed for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, this curriculum-linked programme introduces students to the incredible role of bees in ecosystems, pollination and food chains. Through interactive outdoor learning, children discover how these small insects support life on Earth – and what happens when their habitats are threatened.
During this immersive nature-based experience, pupils will:
-
Investigate habitats and how animals adapt to survive
-
Understand food chains and the importance of balance in nature
-
Explore biodiversity and why it’s critical to a healthy planet
-
Learn how humans impact the environment, and how they can help protect it
Your group will have the chance to get up-close to our bees in a safe and engaging way.

Bees KS1 Activity Options
Step into the woodland and meadow to explore the colourful world of flowers and the insects that visit them. In this session, children will investigate different habitats to spot pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and other minibeasts, and observe the flowers they are attracted to. Through guided exploration and simple observations, pupils will learn how insects help plants grow and why these busy creatures are so important. Working together, children will begin to notice patterns in nature and think about how we can help pollinators thrive.

What is pollination, and why does it matter so much for plants, animals and people? In this session, you’ll investigate how bees help plants make seeds and fruit by moving pollen from flower to flower.
Work together like a team of busy bees to complete a hands-on challenge that shows exactly how pollination happens. Understand the vital role bees play in our environment and why protecting them is so important for the future of our food and wildlife.
