About the event

Become geographers and take stream measurements including width, depth and flow - then transform into biologists using nets to sample the water and discover the invertebrates that live there. 

Use your results to work out how healthy the river is. REMEMBER YOUR LONG WELLIES because you'll need to wade in the river! 

Throughout our reserve, you will also take part in a range of other self-led activities from across the curriculum, sticking to the theme of water and wildlife. 

This event is suitable for children aged 4-11 years with an accompanying adult. There will be a range of activities with links across the curriculum, and a lovely chance to meet other local home educating families in our beautiful outdoor setting. 

There will be a led stream sampling and measuring session to sign up for when you arrive (led session slots will be allocated on a first come first served basis, if you especially require an early slot please arrive on time!). 

We run regular home educators' days so keep an eye on the website for more dates.
