<p>You’ve helped Santa make toys for good girls and boys all day. You were so tired after dinner that you’ve woken up to the grotto being locked- and you’re inside! Can you solve the puzzles to make your way through Santa’s Grotto and get yourself home before the big day?</p>
<p>Rooms include:<br />
• The Reading Room (where Santa checks the naughty and nice lists). Matchsticks: Follow the instructions above each puzzle to complete them. To get the next key, pupils must give the three numbers on the right-hand side of the equals sign once you have solved the puzzles.<br />
• The Kitchen (where the reindeer treats are being prepared for a very long journey). Path puzzle: For this puzzle, pupils use all the grid of letters to create a continuous line from the start. There is one word missing from the grid. That’s the word needed to continue on.<br />
• The Light Room (where the Christmas tree lights are being tested for the festive season). Tree pyramids puzzle: Pupils Fill in the trees with the missing numbers. The number in each space is made from the sum of the two numbers below it. The key code for the next room is the sum of the top two numbers.<br />
• The Candy Room (where all the sweets are made!). Candy coding: The Candy canes have a binary coded message for pupils to solve. Begin at the bottom of the cane to find a 5-digit binary code then use the key to decode the word. Red=1, white=0.<br />
• The Workshop (where the science kits are being prepared for eager girls and boys). Pathways puzzle: To solve this puzzle, pupils mix the hydrochloric acid on the page with magnesium. Follow the pathways for both substances and record the symbols on the path. Decode using the cipher to find the answer to the question.<br />
• The Snow Room (because snow doesn’t just make itself!). Element words puzzle: Use the clue to find the word made from chemical element symbols. Rearrange the letters in the coloured boxes to make a Christmassy word.<br />
• The Front Door (how else did you expect to get out?). Block puzzle. Pupils Arrange the cut out shapes from their keys to fir the image below. They then Find the letters which correspond to the numbers on the image. This will spell A Christmassy word which will unlock the door and allow them to escape!</p>
<p>This resource includes:<br />
• PowerPoint with questions and map of the Grotto, pupil instructions and teacher notes<br />
• 7 puzzle sheets, answers and keys</p>
<p>Have fun and have a wonderful Christmas!</p>

<p>In this race against the clock students work as a team to build the highest tower possible out of dried spaghetti and marshmallows.</p>
<p>The objective of this lesson is to explore structures and investigate what methods of building can make the tallest and strongest structure. By testing their prototype buildings, students will also have the opportunity to rebuild and alter their designs to improve them, giving an insight into the real-life processes of testing, redevelopment and prototyping that engineers and scientists use.</p>

Metacognition questions to get students 'thinking about thinking'. This collection of resources can be used with whole class, groups or individuals. PDFs for easy printing or PPT/word files for editing. This is a comprehensive set of resources allowing teachers to select a depth that is right for their children - a flexible resource that can be used with a variety of age ranges. Get them talking about their thinking and explaining their methods and approaches to others.<br />
<br />
The bundle includes posters, PDF slides, chatting sticks, key ring resources and a 'meta menu'. The variety of styles of resources allows teachers to customise and personal the resource for individual classes. It give teachers a wealth of resources that can be used to support pupils in developing their metacognitive skills. <br />
<br />
Teachers can select specific questions or let pupils work through a range of questions in pairs or groups. Print out, laminate and cut up. <br />
<br />
The resources are broken into three areas:<br />
<br />
• Planning and understanding learning tasks – questions that help children to identify the problem, choose strategies, organise their thoughts, and predict outcomes.<br />
<br />
• Monitor thought processes during a learning task– questions that help children consider if their approach is effective, are on the right track, are any corrective measures needed.<br />
<br />
• Check outcomes – questions to help children evaluate the outcomes/learning objectives against specific criteria, consider what went well and how learning could be improved, consider the approach they took to achieving their goal and if it was effective. Answering questions such as : How did I do it? What method/strategy worked? What did I learn? Did my plan work out? Can I learn from my mistakes? Can I do better next time?<br />
<br />
This is a highly flexible tool that can be used with pupils of many ages via the approach the teacher takes, the type of questions selected and the depth of student thinking. For younger students, teachers can use the resources for whole class discussion and for older students the menu cards serve as useful reminders. There are specific files aimed at younger pupils. Plenty of strategies to share across different year groups and teachers in your school.<br />
<br />
Although you may not have the same fonts, I have included the files as powerpoint and word files (and some Publisher files) for easy editing. Also included are the equivalent PDF files which ensures that the formatting is kept as designed for attractive printing and ease of use. I hope the variety of file formats means that you will be able to customise the resources to suit you class as easily as possible.<br />
<br />
Printables suitable for literacy, maths, all subject areas - cross curricula. Build up student thinking skills across the year. Over 30 files.

<p>1 lesson activity used in British Science Week with Year 7 and 8 science classes. Working together in teams, students build a bridge using straws, paper and tape; by adding a budget it encourages students to use their enterprise skills and consider which materials are most important. Monopoly money is used to allow students to control their budget and a “shop” is opened where they can purchase resources. Towards the end of the session, the shop is closed and students are then allowed to “sell” their resources to each other.</p>
