Fish in the Classroom is a ground-breaking initiative developed by Thames21 that will put small self-contained fish hatcheries into schools involved in the project.

Students will follow the development of the fish eggs in their school and release the newly hatched fry into their local waterway within the Lea River Park area. Schools will have support and advice throughout the initiative from Thames21. Fish in the classroom is an activity that will facilitate learning in a range of National Curriculum subjects. See some of the pictures of participating 2009 schools in the image galleries.

It is also an activity that can promote young citizenship and encourage ownership of the children’s local environment. If you’re interested in joining the many schools in East London who will be taking part in this exciting project, please get in touch with Vicky D’souza at Vicky.dsouza@thames21.org.uk or call 07827 852599.
