How to make CHRISTMAS CRACKERS

(0)
These crackers can be made by young children as well as adults. I have made them with children as young as Year 5, no problem providing that each component is already measured and cut out for them. Adults: you may make these for the dinner table as you can choose a nice gift for the inside instead of silly items, you can make each gift suit the person and label the cracker up as a dinner seating arrangement. The cracker snaps can easily be ordered on line and by replacing them each year, these crackers become re-cycleable. Have fun...

DISPLAY PACK: What is Humanity?

(0)
All you need for a display about the Syrian Conflict; called what is humanity. Images, news articles, titles and facts... all correct as of Dec2016. I have since checked (DEC 2017) and all information is still accurate and relevant today. Although some of the figures will have risen; no one is exactly sure of the figures - most believe them to be double the reported amount.

Each slide is shown for 6 seconds while your students think of each section of a sentence. Intended for students who find it difficult to motivate themselves this PowerPoint proves that a lot gan be achieved if tackled in small amounts... 'one brick at a time'. Can also be used just as a fun lesson starter.
