Buildings are found everywhere and the countryside is no exception. Farm buildings and other countryside structures make ideal topics for a history study by pupils. Historical artefacts can also be used to develop pupils' enquiry skills. Education consultant Nicola Brooks shared her ideas and worksheets with LEAF Education.

Remarkable Rivers

Did you know that there are over 6000 rivers in Britain? 30 of these are over 70 miles long – longer than most of our motorways. With so many rivers throughout the country, there are many opportunities for schools to engage with our remarkable river systems and use them as a key opportunity for learning.
