30 Days Wild is a fun, feel-good challenge run by The Wildlife Trust every June. Back for its seventh year, it brings people closer to nature where they live, taking small actions that can collectively have a big impact!

For those that are new to 30 Days Wild, it is The Wildlife Trusts' annual challenge where we ask everyone to do one wild thing a day throughout the month of June. 2021 saw over 760,000 people going WILD!

At school we will be participating in some of the 30 Days Wild activities and we wondered if you would like participate at home too?! We have attached several activities you could do during the school holidays including a Scavenger Hunt and Sensory Bingo. We have also attached a wall chart so you can track your 30 days of wild activities. Why don't you bring it in to school at the end of June so that we can celebrate your WILDNESS with you in assembly?

Here is a list of wild activities you could try as a family: 

• make wild pictures in the woods using natural materials
• make a nature mask or crown
• make nature potions
• write a nature poem together
• go to the beach
• do a litter pick up
