Introducing a new range of British Wildlife Educational Cards, Activity Packs, Playground Signboards and Animal Discovery Bags for children of all ages. Designed as learning tools for primary schools and nurseries, after-school clubs, forest schools or perfect to explore with the family, the packs celebrate our beautiful and intriguing local animals. The aim is to inspire all our children to go outside and be drawn into nature.
I am Susanna Ramsey from The Nature Collection. I ran workshops on Local Wildlife for over 26,000 children in London primary schools from 2010 to 2018. I took into schools my extensive ‘hands on’ collection of UK animal skulls and skeletons, wings, feathers, insect specimens, animal skins, antlers and taxidermy.
I developed slideshows, worksheets, talks and craft activities linking common British animals to topics in the Science National Curriculum: Local Wildlife, Adaptations, Bones, Classification, Food Webs, Habitats, Life Cycles and Measurements.
Children were thrilled to explore the Collection and learn about the animals which they saw everyday in the garden, playground or local park; fascinated to find out what different birds eat, how many young mice and rabbits have, how long foxes live and where butterflies and ladybirds lay their eggs.
During 2018-2020, I have worked with the leading school resources catalogue, TTS, to turn my ideas into products for use nationwide, combining their professional expertise with my workshop experiences and wildlife photos.
The products can be bought from TTS. Prices range from £4.99 to £79.95, ex VAT.
