The Thames KS2 Education Pack

The Festival’s Thames Education Pack has been created to inspire teachers and encourage them to choose the River Thames as a theme for classroom work. The pack has curriculum links to History, Geography and Science Units and is divided into sections, highlighting different locations along the river. It contains snippets of information and activity ideas for both the classroom and for school trips.

We hope that you find the pack useful and that you enjoy learning new and interesting facts about the Thames!
