Be inspired to get outdoors and get to know it as you never have before, using our educational activity sheets for primary aged children and their families.
We’ve created a suite of 24 activities to help your child(ren) develop essential learning skills whilst having fun outdoors exploring nature found at the river and beyond, at any time of year.
Each activity has been linked to its key learning skill – literacy & phonics, maths, art & craft, digital skills (computer-based and photography).
