Wildlife Resources in the TTS Catalogue

I have created, with the school resources catalogue TTS, a range of educational packs using my wildlife photos and material which I developed for the school workshops. The resources link the local wildlife to topics in the national curriculum such as measurements, habitats, food webs, teeth, life cycles, adaptations and local animals. The packs are suitable for Nursery to Year Six.

The products should be bought directly from TTS. Their website is at www.tts-group.co.uk. Search Birds, Mammals, Minibeasts, Classification or Foodwebs to find the products.

There are three sets of Look & Learn cards for Birds, Mammals and Minibeasts. These are 20 x A5 laminated cards, which come in a handy hard plastic carry pack. There is a large colour photo of the animal on one side and information about the animal on the reverse, showing their size, diet, habitat, nest, scientifc name, life cycle, UK status and role in the ecosystem.

Food Webs. An anctivity pack with 40 laminated double-sided cards, 20 arrow cards and 20 consumer/producer cards. They come in a handy hard-plastic carry pack. The 40 cards are of British animals and plants. There is information about each animal's diet on the reverse of the card. Children can use the photo cards and arrows to build simple food chains or complex food webs for the animals in their local habitats. They can label them as consumers or producers.
