Intex Large Inflatable Whale

Product Information

The festival will involve city centre exhibitions, a sound and light installation in Wakefield’s former market hall and workshops in local libraries. A giant replica of Planet Earth and an 18-metre whale are coming to Wakefield as part of a three month-long festival to promote climate change action. Sanctuary educators and volunteers bring the whale to libraries, local heritage fairs, the Boston Boat Show, and other public events and locations. Programming about safe boating around whales and information about sanctuary research into whale behavior are educational priorities for Salt events. How to book a Salt visit Caring for the environment is something that touches every resident and business in North Lincolnshire – even the smallest steps of turning off appliances or walking more all add up to make a big difference. Hope the whale will visit St Machar Academy in Aberdeen later in the summer, giving more students the opportunity to learn about WDC’s conservation efforts.

Both Lorna and Abbie were amazing on both days, engaging, adapting, and working with a range of our pupils including some with special educational needs, our infants and right up to our senior pupils. The council will support other organisations and residents in reaching this goal as close to this time frame as possible.The professional services firm partnered with WDC in 2021 to help grow its ambitious ‘Green Whale’ initiative, which seeks to establish whales as ‘international public good’ and allies in the fight against climate breakdown. Our inflatable whale, Ladder, is a 65-foot fin whale modeled after a real fin whale in the Gulf of Maine that we studied from 1996-2018 when he passed away. Fin whales are an endangered species, and the second-largest animal on Earth! It’s one thing for us to tell people about the size of these amazing animals, but now students (and adults) can really get a sense of how big they are.

The workshops will show you how to make characters including Shaun the Sheep, Gromit and Feathers McGraw.Lorna Hall, WDC education co-ordinator, said: “We really enjoyed taking our life-sized inflatable whale to Govan High School and were pleased to see the students so enthusiastic about the work we do. In July more than 600 people joined the launch of the Summer Reading Challenge at Scunthorpe Central Library, enjoying a variety of sport and play themed activities. Angela Mitchell, Senior Partner for Deloitte in Scotland, said: “We have been working with WDC to help scale up its ambitions for protecting whales and dolphins around the world, and it’s been really valuable to have them share their knowledge with one of our partner schools. Wakefield Council has announced plans for a ‘Festival of the Earth’, which will run from July 12 to October 30 this year.
