Volunteer parents and teachers organize these groups after school and they have become very active in providing wildlife experiences that inspire children to take direct action for the environment in which they live and have to care for in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The schools organize their own teams and transportation to other schools for matches.\u00a0The Quiz is\u00a0educational and fun. It is\u00a0a\u00a0team competition\u00a0and continues from January to July and\u00a0encompasses\u00a0not\u00a0only the children but also the volunteers, the parents and the teachers. We involve the classes that come to watch the Quiz\u00a0but it is the\u00a0team work\u00a0and socializing with the other teams\u00a0that is a good learning experience for\u00a0many of the\u00a0children.<\/p>\n<p>We cannot thank our schools enough for the\u00a0wonderful support they give us and the welcome we always receive when we arrive for a match. \u00a0We travel quite a few miles around our area over quite a few months,\u00a0collect\u00a0live specimens\u00a0from some amazing places \u2013 up trees, in streams and ditches and down nasty holes\u00a0\u2013 and appreciate the cups of tea we receive at the schools!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are often asked why we do it!\u00a0We do it\u00a0because\u00a0welove being\u00a0practically\u00a0involved with the children and their schools so closely.\u00a0It is a privilege to be able to help educate\u00a0for the future, via the Quiz,<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"_GoBack\"><\/a>\u2018A Gloucestershire richer in wildlife that is understood, valued and sustained by the people, communities andorganisations\u00a0living here\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 (GWT)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Annie Kelly<\/p>\n<p>Muriel Paine<\/p>\n<p>South Cotswold\u00a0organisers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5362&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL OF CIRENCESTER AND DISTRICT GLOUCESTERSHIRE WILDLIFE TRUST PRIMARY SCHOOLS&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":840,"featured_media":5362,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nature Quiz | News | Blog | Events | SI Cirencester and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Cirencester and District : Blog &amp; News : Nature Quiz : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Cirencester and District .
