#14: New learning resource for Milton Keynes schools

I set up a Google Alert for the term 'GCSE Natural History' when I started this blog. This post follows the arrival of a Google Alert.

This report talks about the creation of a new teaching resource for schools in Milton Keynes which is apparently based around the new GCSE Natural History (even though nobody knows what might be in the final specification).

"The resources will provide a range of information and ideas to inspire lessons and homework to support the new natural history GCSE syllabus" and "co-authored by teachers from Shenley Brook End School, and cover topics like tree identification, balancing lakes, map reading, pollinators and even forest bathing – the popular mindfulness activity."

They have been produced by The Parks Trust in Milton Keynes' Outdoor Learning Team in association with the teachers.

They are attractive materials and can be seen here. They are relevant for other topics, although they would be of particular value for schools in the immediate area of course.
