I work in the Education team at the RSPB and recently started a new project to evaluate our Wild Challenge activities for the Early Years age group.
Wild Challenge is a FREE award scheme that anyone can take part in, that prompts children to connect with and learn about nature, through a series of fun and engaging activities. Follow this link to find out more about how Wild Challenge works and the range of activities available:

I am looking for early years settings to have a go at Wild Challenge with their children and provide us with their feedback. I would like settings to try at least two of the activities by the end of June, so that I can contact them for feedback on how well they work for the younger children. All of the activities are directly relevant to the Early Years framework.
One of our key priorities as a charity is to find ways of connecting younger children with nature. To make sure that our Wild Challenge activities are meeting the needs of the under 6’s it is vital that we have feedback from Early Years professionals and parents, to help us improve and develop our work in this area.
If you would be interested in taking part in this project then I would be delighted to hear from you.
