Ages 6-8 Sun flower seed sowing is a prerequisite with this resource The presentation is in A4 size, so the worksheets can be printed directly from the PowerPoint. I have included a free song from the musical “The Sunflowers” which could be a starting point. There are 10 different areas in the Sunflower Project. The one here concentrates observing the sunflowers over the year with a viewfinder and looking at the shades of colour in a seed under the magnifying glass. The sheets can be trimmed easily by the child so that they can be pasted into an A4 booklet. The sunflower Project starts with the sowing of the sunflower seed and follows the observation through until Harvest. Each resource covers a curriculum area. The assumption is that natural science knowledge is absorbed through these various activities.

Audio and visual in powerpoint plus worksheet. ( Video in YouTube) It's about getting dressed to go out in the cold. The co lours are reinforced in the worksheet. This is the first time I&'ve tried to illustrate this myself so be gentle with me !!!! The claves tap a pulse when the claves picture is shown. There are pictures of the different stages of getting dressed for visual prompts It would help me enormously if you viewed the web page before downloading my free resources This helps me gain recognition as a song writer. Thank you
