Teaching the teachers

02/05/2025

Teachers from seven primary schools in the Brampton Area Schools Cluster joined Tania, our Outdoor Learning Manager, for a sunny day at the River Irthing in Lanercost.

Two people looking at a large white tray containing aquatic flora and fauna in samples taken from a nearby river.

A practical day, learning some fun fieldwork skills and getting to know the riverbed wildlife. And we think a valuable session based on the feedback we received from teachers attending the training!

“Excellent Day, thank you."

“Thoroughly enjoyed it.”

“Thank you, for your enthusiasm, knowledge and guidance with this all. It has been a brilliant and purposeful day."

This training has been designed to help teachers in planning and delivering enjoyable and meaningful lessons by and in their local rivers; further supported by Eden Rivers Trust’s online learning resources available at the link.
