Learning from Home: Canal and River Habitats

Learning outdoors is at the heart of what we do, but as we all need to stay at home we've put together resources to bring the magic of canals and rivers to children at home and support families as they home school their children.
Read the Canal and River Habitats Topic Pack, do the habitat activity sheets, watch The Secret Life of a Dragonfly film, play online food chain games and create a butterfly with beautifully patterned wings.

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.
