Lesson Notes: This could be broken into 2 lessons (research… then present) Students will need access to the internet, either through iPads or the Computing room. You should also print the ‘research’ worksheet. **Overview: ** This lesson, groups of students will choose to research one of a list of suggested products, to discover how it was created by accident, as a ‘good’ mistake. They will then select a creative way to teach their peers this information. My Year 4 pupils loved this lesson - they stayed on task the whole time and the presentations (mostly commercials) were so good that we filmed them! I’ve included a filpchart and a research worksheet for the students to use.

Powerpoint to support students to write a narrative poem of their own, based on Ian Bland’s poem, ‘Go To The Head’. Suitable for students in Year 4 and above.

You will need table tennis balls and straws for the main activity.

I did this with Year 4 in the Summer Term. It was dead easy and the best thing we did ALL year. The kids designed, created and erupted their own volcanoes for their Design and Technology unit. This tied in nicely with the natural disasters unit that we did in Geography. First lesson (1 afternoon): Included is a video for the kids on how to make the volcano base (unpainted), a step by step powerpoint on this as well and a step by step instruction sheet to have on the tables. All created by myself. Second and third lessons (2 afternoons): Included is a powerpoint on how to best paint, then varnish (when dry) and later erupt your volcano. There is also an advice/example sheet to have out on the tables. I’ve made a clear list of resources for you on the first slide, to help you prepare these later lessons. There are no worksheets included with this pack, this is a hands on Design and Technology / Geography Activity, which you can document with photopages. I have included everything you will need, with clear visual instructions for an amazing experience with your kids. Don’t miss out!
