What are you doing for International Women’s Day?
Priory Education Centre
On March 8th we will mark International Women’s Day at St Osyth Priory – and your class is invited! We have no shortage of outrageous, daring, and inspiring female stories to tell from the archives of St Osyth Priory’s rich history. Did you know that we owe our name to a fearless female martyr? Or that the Estate has connections to those famous rival Tudor queens Elizabeth and Mary?
Pond Dip and Nature Trail Programme Launch
Priory Education Centre
Come summer, your class can explore habitats and lifecycles with an active and inspiring visit to St Osyth Priory Estate that combines outdoor learning and local history. Our new pond dip and nature trail programme has been designed to align with the National Curriculum and will enable children to explore the historic estate's beautiful natural landscape before arriving at Seal Pond. On the pond dipping platform the class will learn about water scorpions, whirligig beetles, damselfly and dragonfly larvae as they dip their nets into the water. Children will notice the glittering damselfly and dragonfly flitting around the pond and together we'll discover fascinating facts about their lifecycles as we fish out their larvae.
