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.

Activities to complement the Nativity play

A finished picture is shown and then a picture which is incomplete. The children have to say what is missing and create a completed one. I say that they were photocopied incorrectly and I need their help to make completed pictures. The first one introduces the idea of audience. From then on the pictures depict various scenes from the Nativity and they are treated in a similar vein . Good for discussion and creative impulses.
