The Magic Box by Kit Wright is an amazing poem for inspiring children to be inventive and creative with their vocabulary! This resource includes a lesson powerpoint, Kit Wright’s poem illustrated with images which can be printed off for the children to use, plus a spider diagram the children can use to plan their ideas before writing their own poem. I have taught this lesson on numerous occassions and had amazing successful outcomes for all children.

Following teaching children about the different types of animal diets, this is a really fun and interactive lesson which provides lots of opportunities for the children to engage, explore, make observations and work scientifically!

There are also types of poo photos ready to print out, they will be displayed at each ‘poo station’ as the children move around the carousel observing the types of poo.

This resource pack contains one lesson on the 7 Continents and one lesson on the 5 Oceans, including video links to some exciting and catchy songs to learn them in size order!

The pack also includes an end of unit quiz to evidence learning, and video links for the lesson.
