I would like to celebrate Science week with a little model Einstein the children can make from this really simply kit I have created. I have included the instructions on how I made my Lucky Leprechaun as the ideas are the same, just different colours of clothes and a different face. I successfully had children in Year 1 and Year 2 make these models on their own. If you love what I do, please follow me and also look for more of my fun items in my store.

Information Gap 1 - Looking for a Job Get the students working in pairs. Give one person of each pair the Student A page and the other the Student B page. There are four different jobs being advertised in the local paper. However, there are ten gaps on each page. Students should ask each other questions to find out the information that is missing from their page, then write it down, asking for spellings as necessary. Encourage them to communicate verbally to get the answers, rather than letting each other look at their pages! When all the students have finished, bring the group back together and ask checking questions to elicit the answers, as well as to find out how much the students have understood about the other material in the adverts.
