Introductory Assembly
This assembly introduces pupils to the local river. They will be taken on a journey from source to mouth to discover what creatures can be found along the way!
The assembly lasts half an hour. It is suitable for any primary school age group, and can be delivered to the whole school, targeted year groups or split across key stages.
If booking more than one assembly, please book them so that they run consecutively but allow 20 minutes between assemblies to reset resources.
Outdoor River Sessions
Outdoor river sessions take place on the River Wandle, the Beverley Brook and the Hogsmill River.
Our outdoor sessions cover a range of topics all linked to the National Curriculum. Each session includes a chance to explore the area and engage in hands on activities about the river.
For outline session plans, click on the relevant key stage below each topic.
River Wildlife
What creatures are hidden in the reeds or lurk beneath the shadows of the water? In this session, children will discover what wildlife lives in and around the river. Topics covered include habitats, classification and adaptation.
Suitable for: EYFS, KS1, and KS2 (click on Key Stage for more details)
