ORCA in Schools
Whale Education Month
Every October, schools across the country celebrate our wonderful whales, dolphins and porpoises by taking part in Whale Education Month.
Take your class to sea
ORCA offers schools, colleges and universities the chance to give students of all ages an unforgettable experience that will enrich their learning immeasurably.
Operating on ferries out of both Newcastle and Portsmouth, these trips combine ORCA’s background in citizen science with their experience of inspiring young people, showing them first hand conservation projects.
ORCA’s Whale Education Month
In October each year, hundreds of schools and thousands of students take part in ORCA’s Whale Education Month. This is an annual event with different topics each year. Although we encourage schools to deliver the materials in October, teachers can use the materials all year to inspire students about wonderful whales and dolphins.
Whale Education Month 2020 - Ecosystem Engineers
As part of our Fin-tastic Fun in Schools, ORCA will be producing a new series for 2020 on Ecosystem Engineers. This fun and interactive pack will link in with the curriculum and provide students extra support in the topics of science, maths and English.
