Nature Detectives brings green issues into the classroom

The Woodland Trust runs a cool scheme to reward schools for taking part in a wide range of ecological activities, from tree planting to recycling mobile phones.

Schools can even receive free trees to be planted in their school plus resources for use in the classroom.

Schools sign up to the Nature Detectives scheme and then complete activities to achieve a series of milestones and Bronze, Silver and Gold awards.

Anything that helps children re-connect with nature and the environemnt is Great Stuff.

Build a Go Kart with the Moov

Give their brains a work out building one of four models - a go-kart, scooter, carver or trike. Then get them to burn off energy riding it outside in the garden. Perfect excerise for the mind and body!

The Moov from Berg Toys is available in June from kidEstore.co.uk.
