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?
Rooms include:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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!
This resource includes:
• PowerPoint with questions and map of the Grotto, pupil instructions and teacher notes
• 7 puzzle sheets, answers and keys
Have fun and have a wonderful Christmas!

In this activity, students will explore the elements of sustainable city design, learning how to incorporate renewable energy sources, green spaces, and efficient transportation systems to create a city that benefits both people and the environment. This resource includes:
A full PowerPoint for the teacher to use
A sustainable building design activity
A what goes under a city activity
A what energy sources to use activity
Into videos
Student sheets
What goes under a city activity
In this activity, children will learn about what needs to go under a city to keep it running smoothly. They’ll explore things like underground pipes for water and sewage, tunnels for trains and subways, and where to place things to help make the city sustainable. By understanding these hidden systems, kids will gain insight into how cities work and how these essential services help people live and work above ground.
This activity includes a short introduction video, slides to help explain what can go under a city to students and an example of a model that you can set up to help explain this part of a city to students.
Sustainable buildings activity
In this sustainable building design activity, children will learn about eco-friendly architecture by designing their own “green” buildings. They will consider features like solar panels, rainwater collection systems, and energy-efficient materials to make their structures environmentally friendly. This hands-on activity encourages creativity while teaching kids about sustainability and the importance of reducing environmental impact.
This activity includes a short introduction video, slides to help explain how buildings can be made sustainable and information sheets that students can use when designing their buildings.
Sustainable energy resources activity
In this activity, children will explore different types of renewable energy sources, like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, to decide which ones are best suited for a city. They’ll learn about the benefits and limitations of each energy source and consider factors like location, weather, and city needs. This activity encourages kids to think critically about sustainable energy solutions and how to make cities greener and more energy-efficient.
This activity includes a short introduction video and slides to help explain what types of renewable energy resources students can plan to use in their city design.

A great challenge lesson that I use regularly with students of all ages.
The aim is to develop an understanding of structures and construction in a creative practical way. Students work as a group to build the tallest freestanding structure out of spaghetti and tape. The structure has to support the weight of the marshmallow. Students can be encouraged to take an iterative approach to building their structure by assessing the structure at intervals and building upon it.
Lesson includes a slideshow with information about the challenge and how triangulation is used in construction.
An evaluation worksheet that can be used during manufacture or at the end of the lesson as a plenary task.
