Introduction
What better way to spend a school day than
down by the river?
Every year, thousands of school children investigate
the river with Thames Explorer.
Through a variety of programmes, your class can
join in the river fun too!
Walk a riverside trail to record evidence
of the growth of London and the impact of settlement
on the river.
Explore the foreshore - an excellent area
for studying the river at close quarters and for
recording evidence of river geography, ecology
and environmental change.
Discover the city's past. The foreshore
is also one of the most accessible archaeological
sites in London
Whatever you do, we hope that everyone who
visits us takes away a little bit of the Thames
magic!

School Surveys and Findings
WORK WITH A SENSE OF PURPOSE!
As part of the river work, your class can record
biodiversity data for The Thames - River for Life.
This project hopes to help ensure a sustainable
future for the Thames by involving schools and
local communities in simple survey work which
is then posted here
on our web site. The project is linked to the
curriculum via Science and Geography, and helps
develop ICT and Citizenship skills.
