Get ready for Outdoor Classroom Day!

1 November is Outdoor Classroom Day, a global campaign to inspire and celebrate outdoor learning and play. On the day, thousands of schools around the world take lessons outside and prioritise playtime.

Wool Week

The Campaign for Wool’s annual Wool Week runs from 8th to 21st October. For everything woolly, from sheep breeds to lambing, felt making to model sheep, we have the resources to support your teaching both inside and outside the classroom

Get the bug

Bugs, mini-beasts, creepy crawlies, invertebrates, whatever you call them, autumn is the ideal time to investigate their small world, learn their life stories, and find out how to encourage them

Seeds galore!

The Seed Gathering Season has just begun so there's plenty of time to join in by collecting local seeds, fruits and nuts and growing the trees of the future.

More chefs Adopt a School

The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts Adopt a School programme is looking forward to a record-breaking new academic year, getting more chefs than ever into schools to share their skills, knowledge and passion for food

Embedding outdoor learning

Starting this term, Learning With Nature will be working with St. Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Nympsfield, Gloucestershire, to embed outdoor learning into their school curriculum.

Seasonal selection

Ten top resources for September/October on the theme of harvest

Sustainability resources

From energy to litter, climate change to food security, sustainability is an issue that affects us all. It's an important element in all three of Countryside Classroom's key themes: food, farming and the natural environment, so it's not surprising we have some good resources on the subject, ranging from a single factsheet to a complete website

Holiday competition

Encourage your students (14-17) to connect with nature and get creative with Earthwatch’s environmental short film competition
