Bring the National Park into your classroom! This is an ideal way to experience a little bit of the National Park if your school is unable to come out for a visit. Schools can borrow boxes of artefacts for up to four weeks, providing students with the opportunity to explore different topics in the classroom, and they are a perfect complement to a future visit to The Sill or one of our sites across the National Park. Our loans boxes include objects, information, maps, and activity ideas.
For more information on prices, box collection, and Covid secure measures, please get in touch via our enquiry form.
Available Boxes:
Investigate Pre History
This box includes 12 replica artefacts from the Stone, Bronze and Iron Age, including costumes, axe and arrow heads, bowls, clay lamp, and rock art examples.
Geology Rocks
Find out about the geology of Northumberland and have a closer look at our large collection of rock samples. This box also includes geological maps and ID cards, allowing students to test their knowledge of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.
The Lost Words
Inspired by the book by Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane’s award-winning book The Lost Words, this literacy themed box contains objects and inspiring activity ideas all themed around our connection to nature.
