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.

Science Day or Science Week Presentation - videos, introduction to science and draw a scientist

(0)
Science week is a great time to discuss the importance of science. Some countries such as India have Science Day, while other celebrate International Science Week. The idea is for the students to draw a scientist at the start of the lesson... then compare what they thought science was (generally a wild haired, white guy doing crazy stuff in a lab) with what they thought science was at the end of the lesson and hopefully there has been a change of ideas. This presentation has links to 2 great YouTube videos which explain why science is so important to everyone. I also listed some of key branches of science, with a brief introduction and pictures. The idea is to discuss how science affects our every day life and how in reality, we are all scientists at heart.

Which would you rather? - A fun set of 100 child friendly either or questions for 3 to 8 year olds. This is a child friendly set of questions which encourages them to make decisions and explain their answers to the rest of the class. When I play this game, I set two corners of the room, one for each answer. The children get up and move to the best answer for them. It could be used as a time filler, in Golden Time or during conversation. You could print out the pictures and mix them up or use them as a PowerPoint presentation.
