A Month of Nature Study

What's included?

• This is an instant download digital file.

• This pack contains a month of nature study.

• There are 4 core weekly activity sheets and 9 extra nature study sheets.

Core Nature Study Sheets

These sheets are designed so that your child will have a different focus each week. They can also be printed out and reused again in subsequent months as your child will make different observations each month as the seasons change.

A suggested monthly rhythm might be as follows:

EACH WEEK: Spend some time outside in nature

WEEK 1 - Complete the Nature Notes sheet

WEEK 2 - Complete the Sit Spot activity

WEEK 3 - Complete the Favourite Things sheet

WEEK 4 - Complete the Weather Watching activity

This rhythm can then be repeated each month throughout the year.

Extra nature study sheets

These sheets can be woven in throughout the month, and will add extra elements (such as tracking, drawing and poetry) to your child's nature study skills.

Help your child build a connection to the natural world

By repeating these activities consistently for an extended period or throughout the year, your child will be able to experience first hand how the natural world changes from season to season, and will begin to develop a sense of connection to their natural local environment.

Recording their observations will also help them to build up their knowledge and understanding of nature.

Easy to customise

This Nature Journal can be used as a stand alone nature study pack or as an add on to any nature study you currently do.

It can be used as it is, but can also be customised by printing multiple copies of particular pages, so that your child has enough weekly copies for a whole month or year of nature study.

You can simply print out the pages you need and either stick them in a journal or add them to a ring binder. Alternatively, you may wish to send them to an online print service and get them spiral bound.
