Featured Resources
Woodland Wildlife Walk - Spring
These checklists are intended to focus the children on looking for aspects of the natural world around them on a wildlife walk.
The descriptions of each item are broad rather than specific so that there is greater scope for being able to complete each one. For example, the bird section can be ticked off when ANY bird is seen rather than a specific species.
The second sheet has spaces for small drawings/marks when recording what is seen. We hope you have fun!
Spring Number Cards - Natural Items
These engaging cards could be used as part of a spring number display (indoors or outdoors) or laminated for use in a number/counting activity.
Additional Spring Natural Item letter and number resources can be found below in our ‘Core Spring Resources’ section…
