Adventure Investigators (AI)
Can your pupils stop an international conspiracy to poison the world's water supply?!
An inspirational programme designed to support cross curricular, thematic learning.
Suits P6 through to Year 8.
With input from the PSNI Wildlife and Crime Scene Investigations teams and Northern Ireland Water.
Delivered over 6 half-day activity sessions, pupils follow an investigation through a range of challenging environments. Success depends on teamwork, communication, comprehension skills, risk assessment, use of ICT, analysing and presenting evidence and creativity.
AI promotes positive attitudes to learning inside and outside the classroom.
Through the programme pupils will increase their depth of knowledge of science, nature and the world around them. They learn about the natural environment, wildlife protection laws, the principles of 'Leave No Trace' and the key NI organisations that protect the environment
AI encourages pupils to care for the wild for the communities and for themselves and others
What we learn
As the investigation progresses the pupils develop their practical skills in canoeing, climbing, caving and navigation; as well as bush craft and understanding the natural world. They also increase their knowledge through quizzes and research that touch on DNA, the human body, our water supply and our local wildlife and habitats. The project supports mixed ability groups from P6 through to Year 8 pupils
