John Muir's Birthplace School Workshops

Book your free workshop at John Muir's Birthplace now!

A typical school visit to John Muir's Birthplace includes a discussion on what the class already know or have been finding out about John Muir, followed by what they would like to find out, and the different learning approaches that can be used. A simple record sheet is provided so that pupils are encouraged to explore and discover for themselves. All information gathered is summarised on a timeline that is taken back to school for follow-up work.

Maximum class size: 30 pupils

Length of Workshop: 2 hours

Cost: Free

The Birthplace can also help you to attain your Eco Schools and John Muir awards and develop your pupils' awareness of sustainability, recycling and the environment.

Contact John Muir's Birthplace Manager Jo Moulin on 01368 865899 to book or to find out more.
