Assemblies
The Parks Trust can support local primary schools with assemblies that bring a range of outdoor topics to life. These can be delivered in person, virtually, or via pre-recorded video.
Water Safety: What Lies Beneath?
Milton Keynes is home to numerous lakes, long stretches of river, a canal and many ponds across the parkland. This gives lots of opportunities to explore interesting habitats, but there are many hazards associated with water bodies.
In this assembly, a member of The Parks Trust team explains how to stay safe in the wetter parts of our parkland. This talk will cover the dangers of ice in the Winter and swimming in the Summer.
Making Your Outdoor Spaces Wildlife-Friendly
Many creatures, large and small, live in Milton Keynes, and the joy and benefits they bring to us are huge.
In this assembly, adults and children will explore some of the wildlife that lives in our city, as well as learning a few simple ideas that can be done at home, school, or in the parks to make our local area a happy and safe place for creatures to live in.
Litter: Caring for Your Environment
We are lucky to have so many wonderful green spaces in Milton Keynes - not only to visit ourselves, but also as vital habitats for plants and creatures.
In this assembly we will discuss the issues surrounding litter in our parks and the huge impact this can have on the environment.
Students should leave with a greater understanding of the role they play in keeping our greenspaces clean and safe, alongside a greater respect for the planet.
