The Lifeskills Centre
can accommodate a maximum of 40 pupils per session, as we find that the
pupils work best in groups of three or four.
A Lifeskills visit is tailored to Year 6 pupils, but exceptions can be
made if schools have joint Year 5/Year 6 classes.
Sessions run from 10.00am-12.00 noon and from
1.00pm-3.00pm daily.
The cost for a two hour visit is £6 per head, to include:
- A guided
interactive tour for pupils
- Lifeskills
Detective investigation sheet and certificates for each child
- An attendance
certificate for each school
Bookings
for the school year 2008-2009 are now full.
Bookings
for the school year 2009-2010 will open in February 2009.
Bookings can be made by telephone only
- 0117 9224511. No bookings will be taken by mail, fax or
e-mail.
Telephone 0117 9224511 to book your school trip.
If you wish to extend your visit to a whole day you could combine your
visit to the Lifeskills Centre with a trip to any of the following
attractions:
- Recycling exhibition
at The CREATE Centre
- SS Great Britain
and the Matthew
- Historical Bristol Docks
- The Industrial Museum
- The Suspension
Bridge and Downs
- Bristol Zoo
- Bristol Museums
- @Bristol
Packed lunches, if brought, can be eaten in a nearby park (weather permitting),
but unfortunately Lifeskills does not have canteen facilities.
In order that the children can benefit best from
the visit, please note the following:
- girls should wear
trousers or tracksuit bottoms - not skirts (there are inter-active
opportunities)
- it would be
helpful if each child could wear a badge clearly stating their first
name e.g. John or Joanne (a sticky label will suffice)
- the visit will
take approximately two hours. There is no need for anyone to bring any
equipment or materials, and in particular children should not bring
mobile phones
- any recent known
traumatic incidents which have occurred to any of the party e.g. loss
of close relative or friend in a road accident or fire should be
notified to Lifeskills staff on arrival, as should any medical or
behavioural difficulties that are likely to be relevant
- teachers and
adults (at least two please) accompanying the group will be asked to
participate by staffing "emergency telephones" and
supporting other areas of work. There will, however, be ample
opportunity for them to see the Lifeskills Centre for themselves
- please do not over
brief the children about Lifeskills. Our experience is that they react
best to the scenarios and learn most when they have little prior
knowledge
- please bring a
list of children attending Lifeskills in case of a fire alarm
