Education Pack

Tameside Countryside Service

Over the years the work of Tameside Council's Countryside Service with schools has developed into an extensive programme of activities with a cross-curricular foundation.

We aim to help children explore the environment, fostering a greater care for and understanding of the countryside.

Whether it be an 'animal talk' in school, or 'river study session' at a local site, our staff will tailor all activities to meet the needs of your group.

This pack has been produced to help teachers plan a class activity in the local countryside, and, with the help of practical guides, have the confidence to run their own teacher-led school visit if they choose.

The pack includes

• How to contact us and book a visit.
• Details of the range of services offered.
• Information on the visitor centres, their facilities, and other sites suitable for a huge range of class activities.
• Practical guides
  Designed to help you plan and organise your own class activities in the countryside with helpful advice, suggestions for suitable sites, and equipment loan.
• Work/activity sheets
  Covering a range of environment related topics including:
  • Pond and river studies
  • Woodland studies and minibeasts
  • Wayfaring studies and map reading
  • Industrial archaeology

The pack costs £10.00 per copy. Order your pack and pay on-line.

The pack will be added to from time to time as new worksheets and news become available and you will automatically be sent these.
