Home learning activities and resources

Home learning activities and resources

The Lincolnshire Agricultural Society education team have been working hard over the last few weeks to create educational home learning activities and resources for parents to use when children are at home during this time. These activities are based around the topics of food, farming, the countryside and the environment.

Our Education Development Manager will be putting together lots of fun activities and projects for all ages that can be completed during this time of isolation. 

Please click the buttons below to download our activity packs.

Have a go at these learning activities to inspire and educate. We would love to see any work produced and learning activities in action, so please share your photos on social media, use the hashtag #ArmchairAgriculture and tag us - Twitter @LincsShowground & @LASEducation, Facebook LincolnshireShowground and Instagram @ShowgLincs.

Build your own mini beast mansion! Minibeasts are valuable friends to our gardens and vital to the natural world. They are essential in encouraging the pollination of flowers and plants and are useful workers when it comes to decomposition, it’s really important that we look after them.

Whilst you are outside getting some fresh air and exercise, why don’t you go on a bug hunt?
