New Building & Carrying school poster

Learn how and why canals were built and how they operate today using our new topic pack and poster.

The latest topic pack from the British Waterways education team - ‘Canals: Building & Carrying’ is packed with facts, stories and images about the history and the modern use of canals. The content is detailed enough for project work for older children, while the ‘Fascinating Facts’, ‘Strange but True’ items and the appendices provide opportunities for other classroom activities. Download the pack from the WOW resources page. The colourful free poster is available from us to display in your classroom just email wow@britishwaterways.co.uk with your contact details and we will pop one in the post. Thanks go to our WOW supporters for funding our new poster!
