I have collected together my best animal related presentations. These include what birds I find in my local park, to different wildlife around the world. I even have included a KS1 vocabulary list of the animals around us and a story about different animals and some animal activities.
I have collected together some of my most popular science related presentations and teaching ideas and offer them to teachers at a greatly reduced price to celebrate Science Week.
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.
This is a fun art project for a class. I have created an easy mini printable paper kit, which you can print out and assemble and create a class of mini lucky leprechauns.
The pack comes complete with printable leprechaun kits, and a step by step PowerPoint presentation show you and your class how to assemble these wonderful men.
I really hope you like them as I have dreams of making them for lots of different occasions throughout the year!
It is a fun way to celebrate St Patrick's Day on 17th of March and make sure every child in the class has something nice to bring home with them.
51 Spring themed coloring pages. The idea is to use them in between intensive SATS revision, as a way to reduce the stress levels of children. According to Science, repetitive movements helps to promote serotonin production, increasing the level of happiness in children and decreasing their stress levels.
I have collected these pictures together and made them easy for a teacher to print out. I did collect them from a public domain source but I have spent time resizing them, fitting them into the theme and getting them ready for classroom use.

Saint David is the patron saint of Wales.
I have created a presentation which could be used either in the classroom or as part of a school assembly.
This presentation links to a YouTube video which explains the day. I have also added a virtual walk around Saint Davids (the birth place of Saint David), provided some key facts about the day, links to a quiz and some Welsh themed colouring sheets.
St Davids Day is an important celebration. Learn why the Welsh like to wear leeks on this day, and the significance of the daffodils.
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.
Pancake day is also known as Shrove Tuesday.
This Pancake Day presentation covers the history of pancake day, and a complete recipe of how to make your own pancake, complete with pictures.
The Pancake Day presentation ends with a fabulous Pancake Day quiz to make sure the children were listening carefully.
This presentation could be used in the classroom, printed out as an instant display or used as a whole school assembly.
