Bedford River Valley Park (BRVP) is a wonderful, local green space, growing every day. It is a great place for wildlife and recreation but also an exciting place to inspire learning. The site itself will be an accessible and diverse resource and promises many memorable learning opportunities.

First hand, positive experiences in such an environment can actively support creativity, enthusiasm and learning.

With these resources, we hope to offer some useful project ideas for your group members or pupils, and worksheets to support your programmes of study inside and outside the classroom. The resources are designed to enhance existing teaching programmes.

The resources are based on Key Stage 2 and broadly around the following categories

  • Habitats of the BRVP
  • People in the BRVP
  • Quarrying
  • BRVP past and present

Don’t forget the fun puzzles and activities!
