Meet 'Twig', a Tree Elf and this year's Trainee Archivist, who sends readers bundles of archived newsletters and chronicles, and copies of fantastical, intriguing and interactive materials that have landed on his tree root desk.
Learn about the scientific reactions that make magical lava. Design and engineer some dragon claw extenders. Discover the mathematical scales of the weirdest mythical creatures ... find out if your road safety knowledge is strong enough for you to have a Broomstick Flying Licence, and keep fit by completing the Centaur Warriors Challenge
... and more!
Each delivery features enticing and intriguing tales of a magical and mystical new world as well as fantastic facts such as “The Romans were known to use powdered mouse brains to clean their teeth!”, “Venus and Uranus are the only planets to spin clockwise” or the strange things you’d find if you visited Disappointment Islands.
And within every piece of the archive, interactive STREAM-based topics and activities are woven into the story – cleverly disguised and designed to inspire children to experiment, explore, decipher, research, build, create and calculate ‘matters’ in the real world.
Printed on eco-friendly recycled paper
Please note that everyone begins their Roots adventure from Twig’s Fantastical Delivery 1 (Series 1). As a result, other recipients and friends of your child may be reading content that’s further ahead or behind.
