Children at Barnham CEVC Primary School in Suffolk threw themselves into a recent countryside skills day led by BASC’s Eastern regional team.
The countryside skills day began on an air rifle range, where pupils were taught how to handle and airgun safely, and the importance of responsibility and respect when using shooting equipment. The supervised sessions gave the children the chance to develop focus and discipline while learning in a secure environment.
Later, pupils joined BASC staff for outdoor activities on wildlife and habitats. They practised species identification and asked questions about conservation. One discussion focused on how deer activity can affect woodland growth.
