Students look at the cost of buying and caring for the animal as well as considerations such as space required, habits, and wheter the animal is nocturnal. This can be used to aid students with long term planning, measuring, representing size, budgeting and presentation skills. The teachers' plan gives ideas for activities and ideas for students to create their own artefacts. The maze worksheet can be used for a starter. There is an extra sheet for investigating extra animals. Please ask if you think of more worksheets you would like added to the pack as I wll be happy to consider any improvements.

This 12 page workbook includes everything you need to cover Rainforests. There are tasks involving numeracy and literacy to keep students interested. This booklet can be used alongside your lessons as homework or a longer challenge or it can be used as a starter for several lessons.

This package contains a range of labels and instructions. These labels can be used along with other labels available from Nesta’s Ark to be used in several subjects. They are great as starters or for plenaries. It comes with instructions and a spreadsheet with all the data so that teachers can check who should be in each group. Try giving pupils labels and let them find students with matching labels to create a group or have the group labels around the room and get pupils to move to the correct group area. These labels cover several elements of climates such as Vegitation, Precipitation, Day Length and Facts. The climates covered are Cold, Temperate, Subtropical and Tropical.

This is a great activity for Chinese New Year
