This was a counting exercise I remember doing in school. I thought that the test-tubes could prove useful in replicating what the health of people in the 17the century might have had. Eery doctors surgery's, or test-tubes with solidified cakes or jewellery could be cool.
A pin-point map with all the capital cities in what looks to be Europe (?). Anyway, I like the geography aspect to this. The exhibition comes from a range of places from all over Europe, to morocco and far on. We should make a large map mural (magnetic) where the kids can move around carriages, people, clothes, food, etc... across the world. This would work well because kids from a young age (3-7) were very tactile and enjoyed moving and creating new things..especially the girls.
Kids aged 4 and 3. Plastecine was a success, however found it hard to copy my images. Maybe if we made very simple foods for them to make and arrange? Did result in hands getting dirty. I think that the MAKING of something was very important in keeping them occupied and interested. Teaching facts for young ages has to be straightforward and easy.
I got some girls to arrange the flowers and food on the dining set.
Some of the boys (6 and 7) made the 17th century castle they saw in the image
