Rosie’s Trunk

Key Stage 2
60 Minutes
Up to 20 children

Introduction

Rosie has lived on the canal for many years and has collected a range of objects in her brightly painted trunk. Our costumed interpreter will show the children the objects and allow them to handle them, asking them to predict what they think they are and their use. The children will then be told about the objects using storytelling techniques to inspire and engage!
