Our River Tweed box explores the plants and animals found locally around the Union Chain Bridge and gives children the opportunity to role play as ecologists.
Recommended age: 3 years – 7 years.
Our River Tweed box contains a range of items including magnified bug viewers and plastic insects, children’s binoculars and clicker counters, fishing nets and plush herring/salmon, a butterfly lifecycle demonstration set and a butterfly garden kit (live caterpillars need to be purchased by the school). This box is great for students in Early Years / Early Level and KS1 / First Level.
You know your students best, but please be aware of that some items and books may be more suitable for a particular age group than others. Below are a selection of useful links and downloadable resources to help you make the most of the box. Please note we cannot control the content from external websites.
