Join a Summer of British Icons
In the United Kingdom there are many people and teams who inspire us – some are from the past, whilst others are making an impact today. This summer, we’re celebrating amazing authors, smart scientists and an extraordinary team with special coins that tell their story. Whether you love reading and writing, discovering and experimenting, or you’re a super sports fan, there’s a British icon for you.
A Summer of British Icons Activity Sheets
Our new activity sheets feature iconic people and include activities such as drawing and colouring, a word search, a Team GB quiz and much more!
