Rednock School - We would like to thank Rednock School and especially the Year 7 students for their participation in a Future is Wild educational film for Germany.
Darwin in Space - The British Science Association was overwhelmed when over 27,000 children aged 4 - 14 entered their competition for Science Week 2009. That's over four times as many as their usual entries. The Competition was run in collaboration with The Future is Wild and the theme was 'Darwin in Space'. www.britishscienceassociation.org/web/NSEW/WhatsOn/NSEWActivities

Whyteleafe Goes 'Wild' - Year 5 at Whyteleafe Primary School, Caterham, Surrey, has spent every Thursday afternoon of the summer term working on The Future is Wild. With their teachers Jamie Broad and Sue Turner, the two parallel classes have been involved in a project that met curriculum targets in science, literacy and geography. The teachers’ opinion? The Future is Wild got the ‘best-ever reaction’ from the children.
Why not plants? - The Future is Wild features a number of amazing plants that have found ways of living, reproducing, and collaborating with animals in order to make the best of tough and challenging circumstances. So why not plants of the future next term? And to inspire children’s ideas, take a look at the carnivorous plants available in your local garden centre. They are eco-friendly fly killers, too!
Three-Dimensional Creatures - To publicize the launch of The Future is Wild pavilion at Futuroscope, a French children’s magazine has a unique cover disc. Slip the disc into your PC, focus the webcam on a black and white card, and on the computer screen, a moving, three-dimensional Future is Wild creature is standing on your hand. Yes, it’s just as spectacular as that.
