Barn Owl conservation: Lesson planning ideas
Our education pages are designed for children at key stage 1 and 2. However, there are ideas and activities included that maybe suitable resource material for older and younger children too. Each PDF file is designed to be either used independently, or alongside other materials to enrich a topic plan, taking the Barn Owl into each area of the curriculum.
© The materials can be photocopied for free use in schools and at home on the understanding they are copyright of the Barn Owl Trust.
The classroom resources are split into 3 key areas with ideas for lesson planning and a selection of educational activities and worksheets available for each.
The Science and Numeracy classroom resources are designed to complement the Flying into the Future story, which we deliver in schools across the Southwest. For more information on booking a school visit from the Barn Owl Trust please visit Barn Owl talks for schools and young people.
The Literacy resources accompany our Wings of Change story. The Wings of Change story can be downloaded here. This story is also available to purchase on DVD presented by English naturalist and television presenter, Nick Baker. Please visit our online shop to purchase.
Topic and project ideas
Our educational resources work well in schools as part of other topics such as food chains, adaptations and habitats, nocturnal animals and classification or why not base a whole topic around owls and other birds in general? To get you started, have a read through our About the Barn Owl fact sheet and colouring sheet for a general overview of Barn Owl facts.
Download the About the Barn Owl fact sheet and owl colouring pages.
We hope that working with our educational resources will inspire you and the children you work with, and that it will encourage an increasing interest and awareness of both Barn Owls and the countryside.
