Welcome to H20’s Wonderful World of Water Primary School Education Programme.

We have designed this work pack to help teachers, particularly of Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils introduce the theme of water across the curriculum.

It contains a series of worksheets and games which have been structured to
help teachers:

  • introduce pupils to the Water Cycle using the Water Cycle Placement Game and worksheets
  • consider the importance of water and its many uses
  • build language skills with the Water Word Search worksheets
  • encourage the conservation of water through the Best Water Choice game and worksheets
  • enhance observation; recognition and association skills through the "matching" exercises
  • raise awareness and provide advice about how to "Stay Street Wise Street
    Safe" with the Spot the Dangers worksheet and Water Wise Rules leaflet
    and poster
  • explore and discuss key water topics in class and set locally based water
    exercises
  • consider the effects of weather by tracking how H20, our super hero reacts
    to cold and heat

Water plays a vital role in all our lives and is a precious resource. So it’s not surprising that its study offers exciting and fun opportunities for learning on a cross curriculum basis.

H20's Wonderful World of Water can have application in:
