In this last video linked to the topic of Water/Rivers, we look at raising awareness of how we can help the environment. After discussing what can/can't be flushed down the toilet, children create videos to share with other educating them about what they should/shouldn't flush down the loo.

Here is another creative way for children to apply their knowledge of rivers. In this idea, learners can create their own river in minecraft including examples of all the features they have been learning about.
Building on the work from idea 9, this idea expands by looking at rivers around the world. This activity is a great way for pupils to research and collect data and then use it creatively. Bringing in elements of ICT and Digital Literacy.
Augmented Reality is such a powerful tool to enhance and engage children in their learning. The WWF Rivers app is a brilliant example of this and this video explores how you can use it to explore and learn about the importance of rivers.
The next idea in the series linked to Water looks at Flooding. Once children have learnt and the causes and ways to prevent and prepare they can demonstrate their learning by creating videos exploring and explaining flooding.
Here is the next video in the series linked to Water/Rivers. In this video, we explore how water is treated and cleaned and pupils can then present their learning by creating their own guides to the process using Greenscreen.
Using the work created in the previous two videos, this idea looks at bringing it all together to create an interactive guide to the Water Cycle. The finished outcome can be shared with the world, making the task more purposeful.
In this next idea in this series looking at water, children can explore each stage of the water cycle in more detail. This idea makes learning so much more accessible for all learners and allows them to share their learning in a much more creative way.
Once the children have learnt all about the Water Cycle, they can start to demonstrate their learning. In this first idea, learners can create a diagram demonstrating how the water cycle works. This can be progressed by animating the diagram.
Here is the next idea in the topic looking at Water/Rivers. In this video, we explore some consumer apps to deepen our understanding of the Water Cycle. This includes Google Expeditions and the app Water Cycle HD that can be downloaded here - https://apps.apple.com/…/wa…/id574353460
Here's another great resources from Barefoot Computing! Code Cracking Cup is a great way to motivate and challenge your learners! Check it out here - https://www.barefootcomputing.org/codecracking
In this last idea linked to the Gunpowder Plot, children can create videos exploring why we celebrate Bonfire Night. This is a great way for children to demonstrate all their learning in this topic: the plot, why we celebrate it, how we celebrate it and also share the famous rhyme.
Here's another idea linked to the Gunpowder Plot. Once the children have learnt about how Guy Fawkes was caught and tortured to reveal the names of the other plotters, they can take the message from James I and create a wanted poster for Thomas Percy.
Here's the next idea in this series looking at the Gunpowder Plot. If your learners have written up the events as a news article this video explores how they can perform their writing as a TV news report. This adds a real purpose to children's writing and again allows pupils to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the event.
Here's another creative way for learners to share their understanding of the Gunpowder Plot. This takes the last idea of the drama freeze frames and challenges children to create their own cartoons of the Gunpowder Plot.
The next idea in the series linked to the Gunpowder Plot looks at progressing from Idea 6. In this idea, the children become the characters and create a series of images recreating key events. This is such a creative way for learners to demonstrate their understanding in a fun and engaging way.
In this next video linked to the Gunpowder Plot, children can do some simple sequencing of the key events. Once the children have learnt about the key events and how the plot unravelled, they can demonstrate this by putting the events into the correct order.
Here is the next idea linked to the Gunpowder Plot. In this idea, the children can do some role play as the plotters either discussing the original plot or imagine creating their own plot.
Here's the next idea in the series looking at Gunpowder Plot. In this video, learners can share their knowledge and understanding about all the people involved in planning and carrying out the Gunpowder Plot.
In this next video linked to the Gunpowder Plot, learners can become Guy Fawkes. Once they have learnt more about his background and role in the gunpowder plot, they can record themselves in role as Guy sharing everything they have learnt.
Here is the next idea in the series looking at the Gunpowder Plot. In this idea, the children explore some objects that Guy Fawkes would have used and predict what they think the objects are for. Once they have discovered the uses, they can record another video explaining their actual use.
Here is the first video in a series looking at ways to creatively explore the Gunpowder Plot through technology. I have purposely kept these ideas simpler as I am aiming them at KS1 pupils. That is not to say they cannot be adapted for older pupils.
In this first idea, pupils share what they already know about the Gunpowder Plot. |
