Speaker 2 (1)
Okay, what would you like to know?
Speaker 1 (2)
Well, I'm new to this area, so perhaps you could tell me something about the park first, please.
Speaker 2 (3)
Of course. Altogether, the park covers a 170 acres. That's 69 hectares.
Speaker 2 (4)
There are three main types of habitat: wetland, grassland, and woodland.
Speaker 2 (5)
The woods are well established and varied, with an oak plantation, and other areas of mixed species.
Speaker 1 (6)
Right.
Speaker 2 (7)
The wetland is quite varied, too.
Speaker 2 (8)
The original farmland was dug up around 40 years ago to extract gravel.
Speaker 2 (9)
Once this work was completed, the gravel pits filled with water, forming the two large lakes.
Speaker 2 (10)
There are also several smaller ones, ponds, and a stream that flows through the park.
Speaker 1 (11)
Okay, so I suppose with these different habitats, there's quite a variety of wildlife.
Speaker 2 (12)
There certainly is - a lot of different species of birds and insects, and also animals like deer and rabbits.
Speaker 1 (13)
And I understand you organize educational visits for school parties.
Speaker 2 (14)
That's right. We can organize a wide range of activities and adapt them to suit all ages.
Speaker 1 (15)
Can you give me some examples of the activities?
Speaker 2 (16)
Well, one focus is on science, where we help children to discover and study plants, trees, and insects.
Speaker 2 (17)
They also collect and analyse data about the things they see.
Speaker 2 (18)
Uh-huh.
Speaker 2 (19)
Another focus is on geography. The park is a great environment to learn and practice reading a map and using a compass to navigate around the park.
Speaker 1 (20)
Do you do anything connected with history?
Speaker 2 (21)
Yes. We do. For instance, the children can explore how the use of the land has changed over time. Then there's leisure and tourism.
Speaker 1 (22)
That focuses on your visitors, I would imagine.
Speaker 2 (23)
Yes, mostly. The children find out about them, their requirements, the problems they may cause, and how we manage these.
Speaker 2 (24)
And another subject we cover is music.
Speaker 2 (25)
Here the children experiment with natural materials to create sounds and explore rhythm and tempo.
Speaker 1 (26)
That must be fun.
Speaker 2 (27)
Most children really enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (28)
And, of course, all the activities are educational, too.
Speaker 2 (29)
Learning outside the classroom encourages children to be creative and to explore and discover for themselves.
Speaker 1 (30)
I would imagine they get a sense of freedom that might not be a normal part of their lives.
Speaker 2 (31)
That's right. And very often, the children discover that they can do things they didn't know they could do, and they develop new skills.
Speaker 2 (32)
This gives them greater self confidence.
Speaker 1 (33)
It sounds great. So what about the practical side of it?
Speaker 1 (34)
How much does it cost for a full day visit?
Speaker 1 (35)
We would expect to bring between 30 and 40 children.
Speaker 2 (36)
If there are over 30, it costs £34.95 for each child who attends on the day.
Speaker 2 (37)
We invoice you afterwards so you don't pay for children who can't come because of sickness, for example.
Speaker 2 (38)
There's no charge for leaders and other adults, as many as you want to bring.
Speaker 1 (39)
That sounds very fair.
Speaker 1 (40)
Well, thanks for all the information.
Speaker 1 (41)
I'll need to discuss it with my colleagues, and I hope to get back to you soon to make a booking.
Speaker 2 (42)
We'll look forward to hearing from you. Goodbye.
Speaker 1 (43)
Goodbye, and thank you.
