Who is Safcut? What’s his plan? Can your class save Christmas?
Length:
The length of the lesson is very flexible, there are activities you can miss out and on the other hand there is a Christmas cracker based extension. So, the lesson can easily last anywhere between 1/2 hour and 1 and a 1/2 hours depending on your needs.
Better than a boring quiz:
This is definitely not a Christmas quiz, it gets the learners out of their seats, keeps them focused and engaged as they work in teams building and creating. It’s a great lesson you can use with all ages from 6 to 16 and it won’t go out of date so you can use it for years to come, which makes it excellent value at this price !

Further information:
This lesson covers 3 topics, skeleton and joints and muscles. Consequently it covers all the important points but is not as detailed as spending 1 full hour lesson on each of these 3 topics (3 hours total). This lesson is very useful, even more so if you want to get ahead and build a buffer to allow for a revision lesson before the test or end of year exams, or if you have fallen behind were you should be in comparison to your teaching rota, or in case students find things more difficult later. If you need deep detail and to spend a total of 3 hours on these three topics then you could easily add some of your own content to this powerpoint.

This lesson gets the learners out of their seats, keeps them happy, focused and engaged as they work in teams building and creating. There’s nothing like zombies to capture the imagination of students! It’s a great lesson that teachers of any subject can use with all ages from 6 to 16 and it won’t go out of date (like a quiz might) so you can use it for years to come, which makes it excellent value at this price !
Learning and skills:
As well as being great fun and entertaining it is also educational and includes: literacy, numeracy, SMSC, team working skills, questions with answers, physical coordination skills, activities with answers, play ball game, joke telling etc
High quality, ready to use lesson - great for teachers of all subjects!
Happy teaching !

Great fun Christmas activities, complete and ready to use.
Lots of engaging and fun activities and an excellent primary activity of building and firing straw** air powered rockets** in the classroom (no need to go outside). Please don’t stop reading! This is not a lesson only for science teachers - all instructions are in teh PPT and are simple for students to follow…it fantastic fun for all !
A story is woven and as part of the lesson the learners build rockets to save Christmas from Safcut - who is Santa’s evil brother. All instructions are included and the lesson teaches the learners almost automatically, this is NOT a lesson only for our friends the science teachers (although it’s excellent for them too!) - any of us can use this fun and imaginative lesson. Who is Safcut? What’s his plan? Can your class save Christmas?
Lesson length:
Fantastic fun ! Very flexible length, there are activities you can miss out and on the other hand there is a Christmas cracker based extension. So, the lesson can easily last anywhere between 0.5 hour and 1.5 hours depending on your needs.
Better than a quiz:
This is definitely not a Christmas quiz, it gets the learners out of their seats, keeps them focused and engaged as they work in teams building and creating. It’s a great lesson you can use with all ages from 6 to 16 and it won’t go out of date so you can use it for years to come, which makes it excellent value at this price !
Skills and learning:
As well as being great fun and entertaining it is also educational and it includes: literacy, SMSC, team working skills, cooperation, physical building skills, questions with answers, activities with answers, play ball game, what engineers do, identify parts of a rocket, joke telling etc
High quality lesson, great for teachers of any subject !!!
Happy Christmas !
