Resources for British Science Week
We’re thrilled to have the National #EducationNaturePark included in the #BSW24 activity packs, and we also have a selection of science curriculum-linked resources on the Nature Park website that link to this year’s theme of ‘Time’ – exploring the seasons, how climate and nature change over time, and imagining a better future for nature. Share what you get up to using #BSW24 and #EducationNaturePark! Check them out.
Storytelling resources for World Book Day
Our storytelling resources can provide a great mechanism for learners to communicate their Nature Park vision and explore their site from different perspectives. Check them out this World Book Day and tell the story of your Nature Park. Go to the resources.
