Free lessons during school closures

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Due to the recent school closures, we're trying to provide a small bit of help to everyone. For parents and kids, all of our step by step coding projects are now free to use, and for teachers it's now free to enroll in our "Teaching Coding in Primary School" online course.

Everything you need to start coding lessons in your school

Coding Curriculum

A curriculum to teach coding to primary school aged children that consists of lesson plans that introduce children to coding and brings them through more and more advanced topics.

Teacher Training

We provide both online and workshop based teacher training that gives primary school teachers the knowledge and skills to teach coding as a subject.

Educational & fun projects that your students will love

Each lesson is graded and lists the topics covered & duration. Here's a sample of some of the lessons in the Coding Curriculum.

Guess the County

In this lesson we will create a game called "Guess the County". A map of Ireland with the counties outlined is displayed and players choose a county by dropping a pin on it. They then need to guess what the county is and the game records all their correct and incorrect answers.

Hard 90 mins Scratch Geography SESE

Maze - Artificial Intelligence

In this lesson we will program a sprite to figure out how to navigate a maze using random decision making and we will time the beetle to see how fast it can complete the maze.

Microbit Basics

This lesson introduces students to Microbits and explains what the are and how to program them. At the end of the lesson students will create their first Microbit program and send it to their Microbit.

Did you know that you can access art museum virtual field trips, tours, and resources from around the world for free? Why not take your students on virtual museum tours to the lavish Louvre in Paris? Or the majestic Metropolitan Museum of Art? Or any one of these historic art museums from around the world? Check out the list below to get started!

Located in Greece, the Benaki Museum features European and Asian pieces of artwork dating all the way back to prehistoric ages. In addition to having a massive collection of art you can explore virtually, the Benaki also offers audio tours for several of their larger exhibits. Our favorites include Chinese and Korean Art, Historic Heirlooms, and Childhood, Toys, and Games.

Frick, yeah! Click your way through this interactive map for a tour of the beautiful building and collections of art from the likes of Bellini, Rembrandt, Vermeer, and more.

Explore thousands of items in the Getty's collection with help from Google Arts & Culture. The J. Paul Getty Museum specifically has several interactive options for exploring their collection: a "museum view" virtual tour, three ebook-style online exhibits, and the library of over 15,000 collected pieces of art.

[contextly_auto_sidebar]

The largest art museum in the western United States is offering art museum virtual field trips. Watch videos and museum walkthroughs, listen to soundtracks and live recordings, learn with online teaching resources and courses, browse their art collection, and more on LACMA's redesigned website.

One of our favorite art museum virtual field trips-and the world's large museum-is the Louvre with options for some of their best exhibition rooms and galleries. Explore rare Egyptian artifacts, iconic paintings, the beautiful structure of the building, and much more through their 360-degree viewing feature.
(NOTE: Several of these virtual tours require Flash Player.)
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (aka the Met) developed #MetKids for, with, and by kids-but we think parents and teachers will have just as much fun using it. Our favorite features include a fun and highly interactive map, a "time machine" search function, informational and how-to videos, and so much more.

Instantly transport to the middle of Paris with the Musée d'Orsay and their online tours and art collection. Here you can explore art history with the largest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces from renowned artists such as Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, and many more.

Also known as La Casa Azúl (the Blue House), this historic art museum was developed where renowned artist Frida Kahlo lived and created masterpieces. While there, you can learn about her life, her art, and more as you take a virtual tour through her former residence.

The British Museum and Google Cultural Institute teamed up to create one of our favorite interactive projects: The Museum of the World. The British Museum's digital art collection lets users travel through time-starting with 2,000,000 BC-while seeing how each historical piece in their collection connects with others. Wow!

Click and scroll your way around the National Gallery in London with their three interactive virtual tour options. The National Gallery has hundreds of paintings in its collection ready to be viewed online, many of which are from the Renaissance period.

Washington D.C.'s National Gallery of Art has a wide variety of great educational resources, including video tours of their exhibitions, in-depth looks at the best pieces of their collection, downloadable learning resources and exercises, pre-recorded lectures by artists and curators, and more.

One of Germany's largest museums, Pergamon is home to a variety of ancient artifacts, including the Ishtar Gate of Babylon and the Pergamon Altar.

The Rijksmuseum is the museum of the Netherlands and contains an online collection of well over 160,000 items. Not only is their digital collection incredibly stocked, but it's also one of the more immersive collections online today. In addition, we highly recommend you try their "stories" feature (shown above), which walks users through the story and emotions behind the artwork created.

Step inside the San Diego Museum of Art from anywhere! Enjoy 360-degree scans of your favorite galleries, zoom in to see art details, and read full label text in both English and Spanish, all from the comfort of home.

The San Francisco MoMA offers exclusive content featuring artists and their work online. Watch videos, read articles, and more right on their website.

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation has several art museums around the world, which means more history to absorb virtually! Their Collection Online has over 1,700 diverse artworks by over renowned 600 artists-and it is definitely worth checking out as one of our top art museum virtual field trips!

The Tate Modern put together this video tour of their famous Andy Warhol exhibit. Museum curators Gregor Muir and Fiontán Moran talk in-depth about Andy Warhol and his work through the lens of the immigrant story, his LGBTQ identity, and more.

Here you'll find the art collection of one of Florence, Italy's most famous families, the de'Medicis. Wander the halls from any classroom!

With an obvious focus on Vincent van Gogh, the Van Gogh Museum is home to the largest collection of van Gogh pieces in the world. The museum, virtual tours, ebook "stories," and online collection dive into the life of van Gogh and the inspiration behind his art. Moreover, we think teachers everywhere will appreciate how big a fan he was of reading books!

You can finally say you've seen the Sistine Chapel thanks to this online program! And, you can also virtually visit the Raphael Rooms, the Chiaramonti Museum, and more historic sites through these virtual tours by the Vatican Museums.

Did we miss one of your favorite art museum virtual field trips? Share them with us, and we might just add it to this list!

Happy New Year everyone and congratulations to our Poetry Zone Christmas Competition winners. Carys Davies, Charlottei Christiansen, Laila Baines, Lily McKay, Amelia Beddall , Elsie and Samuel. To see the winning poems go to Poems and scroll down to Competition Entries. Meanwhile, do keep writing and sending us poems. We love to read them. Be careful and stay safe.

Since 1998 The Poetry Zone has published around 30,000 poems by young people and has had millions of visitors - children and teenagers, real live poets and other adults - who want to check us out, especially teachers who use the Poetry Zone as a fun way of teaching poetry in their schools.

NOTE TO SCHOOLS SENDING POEMS. I'm very happy for schools to send us poems. But I do edit all poems - in the same way that poems would be edited in a book. This does take time - and so I would ask schools to limit the number of poems sent. If a school sends, say, 30 poems - one from every class member - I may have to choose a selection to appear in the Poetry Zone. Schools may, however, send as many poems as they would like for competitions..

Poo Poo Poo! Rude poems can be very funny but be warned - if you send us poems about farts, bottoms or poo they won't be appearing in the Poetry Zone. So please stop sending us rude poems.

And do please remember that all the poems you send should be your own original work.

I teach in an outdoor classroom. The most common question I get is "what do you do in the winter?" There are so many reasons to get outdoors and learning in all seasons, and winter is no exception. I'm a big advocate for unstructured play in the garden, especially in the non growing season, to deeply attach children to place. By spending time playing in the garden, children will naturally feel an instinct to protect the crops produced during the growing season, and will feel more enthusiasm for the subtle changes that emerge in early spring! If you are looking to get your children or students out in the garden during the winter months, here are my top tips for winter gardening with kids.

Winter Play In Your Garden

Here on the westcoast we have typically mild winters, but this past one was colder than usual, which was great for experimenting with ice and snow! Playing with frozen bubbles is a fantastic opportunity to explore states of matter. When your temperatures dip below minus 5, simply bring your summer bubbles outside and watch them change from a liquid to solid state. Read more about how to play with ice and frozen bubbles here.

And don't forget that playing in your Winter garden attaches children to place in a way that helps them notice subtle changes in the landscape in early Spring. Add dump tricks for snow removal and clear those garden pathways!

Tracking animals and looking for animal prints is another great way to support children's skills in looking closely. If you are lucky to get some fresh snow, get the children to pause and predict what tracks they might see before they start tromping through it! Bring technology out to the garden and take photographs of the prints to research later. Read Aloud Whose Garden Is It by Mary Ann Hoberman to ponder the many creatures who visit the garden when we are away.

Many classes use loose parts for storytelling and creative play through the winter months. In our outdoor classroom, our loose parts are logs, branches, tarps, and wood cuts. Fort and den building becomes a big focus for us in the winter months and are embedded in our winter storytelling.

If you enjoy using loose parts indoors, you can certainly bring them outdoors in winter too! Use magnifying lenses to look closely at frost and snowflakes and then invite children to make their own unique snowflakes with whatever materials you have in your beautiful junk drawers! These snowflakes were built on a baseplate of black felt with blue jewels, popsicle sticks and q-tips:

Don't forget to keep those dinosaurs and dragons outside during the winter moths too. The cold won't hurt them and their fiery breath will help melt the snow!

Winter Arts & Crafts In Your Garden

There are many creative ways to use found treasures in your garden for nature inspired arts and crafts. Making an attempt to be more eco-friendly in your classroom art projects benefits everyone, including the environment. Try at least one paper and glitter free art project a month with your kids- you'll be amazed how beautiful nature art can actually be! Read more about ice art here.

In this project, we collected seeds, pinecones and twigs of plantings to freeze with water in a bundt pan. The result was a beautiful piece of art that melted away as the weather warmed, providing further opportunities for observing seasonal change. If you are looking for inspiring books to read about the changing seasons, check out my related blog post: 13 Best Picture Books For Understanding Seasonal Change K-5.

Planning Ahead

Winter is the time to plan ahead for the growing season. Clean up your shed, and make sure the tools are clean and sharp. Wash children's garden gloves and order seeds for starting in the spring. I also like to check the pH of our soil, and track the temperature of the soil, so children can observe how the changing seasons impact our soil conditions. There is a a lot of science and math waiting to be explored in your soil! You can pick up an easy to read soil thermometer here.

The biggest job we need to tackle during the winter months is planning the garden map for the upcoming growing season to ensure the right plants are in the right place for a best chance of growing! By keeping a record of what grew where each year, we can more easily rotate crops that benefit from rotation. If you don't have a garden map of your growing area, this is a great mapping activity for kids. Get out those measurement tools, use ratio to scale, figure out which way is north, and develop those map making skills!

Winter Gardening With Kids: Planting & Harvesting

There are several plants that continue to grow well during the winter months in coastal British Columbia. Check with your local nursery or use this resource from WestCoast Seeds find what grows when in your particular region of North America. The guides have most of Canada covered, as well as Washington, Oregon, New England, New York State and Pennsylvania. Westcoast seeds has a specific Planting For Fall and Winter Harvests guide you can reference. Our mild winter means we can take advantage of overwintering crops that benefit from the cold of winter for excellent spring growth and flavour! Cabbages, Broccoli, Cauliflower, garlic and onions typically overwinter well in our school garden. You can plant fava beans right through the winter months in coastal British Columbia for a summer harvest. And we can harvest plenty of crops through the winter too: Brussell sprouts, kale, carrots, parsnips and spinach keep us snacking through the cold months!

Once you've made some decisions about what crops you want to plant, it is time to map out where they should live through the growing season. The Landed Learning Project at The University of British Columbia has created this excellent resource for planning out your crops and mapping the garden with kids:

Winter Gardening with Kids

Finally, however you spend your time in the Winter garden, my advice is to place string lines around the edges of your actual beds to keep kids from running in or over any plantings (like garlic) that are buried beneath the leaf and snow piles! You can also use cold frames or cloches to keep your crops going through the winter months, which makes them easier to see in heavy snow. We often grow spinach and other leafy greens under our cloche.

Winter Gardening with kids is one of the easiest ways to encourage your kids to eat their 5 a day. Teach them to grow their own fruit and vegetables. Even in Winter there is lots to grow.
No! don't panick! We're not talking turning your prized lawn into a field of potatoes and peas. Starting small is the key here.

Trust me no matter your skill in gardening you can grow a lot of delicious food to help supplement your meals and make mealtime more fun .

There are so many super easy plants to grow with your kids and fun garden activities to do with your kids that take little space, energy or time, but give your kids an amazing skill and a love of growing their own.

When kids experience doing it for themselves, they want to try it to eat it and end up loving it! Well most of the time.

WInter is actually a wonderful time to get kids involved. There is time to experiment and try out ideas while everything outdoors is slowing down.
There's also time to plan activities, and try some low-cost indoor ideas too.
This week for example, we have just planted some flower bulbs for a splash of colour in Spring time.

We've also just planted some over-winter onion and garlic bulbs for an earlier harvest next year, as well as collecting Sweet pea, Calendula and Lupin seed pods to dry them out so we can sow them in Spring too.

Hang on, I hear you say, those are flowers! Yes they are, but as part of growing vegetables, there's a whole ecosystem that works together to benefit each other that includes flowers, wildlife and nature.

To teach kids about how everything works together amazing and to see them understand their place in that circle is wonderful (Plus there are edible flowers like Calendula that can be added to salads and meals to make everything look pretty.)

If you have room for a few pots outdoors, winter is the perfect time to invest in some fruit. A patio apple or pear tree gives you lovely spring blossom and fruit.

Or why not start with a few trusty strawberries. Even supermarkets sell these plants now and a tray of 6 plants goes a long way. My kids love playing in the garden in summer helping themselves to tasty red strawberries.

To grow vegetables plants must be pollinated so growing flowers and helping out wildlife isn't just fun, its essential to grow healthy food, beautiful flowers and tasty fruit.

Gardening should be fun, full of information about the world around them and above all, tasty.
But what about the cost of seeds ?
When you begin, you may need to buy some seeds. The set above is a great beginner pack and includes soil discs, seeds and paper pots. Great gift idea!!

However, for the cost of a cup of coffee you could have hundreds of edible plants?

Also, once you get the hang of things you can start to save seeds for the following year.

If you'd rather not invest money this year, why not start off by growing your left overs? Yes seriously!!

You could regrow carrot tops to produce carrot flavour leaves for salads, and soups?

Regrow garlic cloves for some leafy greens to add to a meal or maybe grow some dried peas in a pot for lush pea shoots to chomp on.

You could also regrow lettuce and celery from the base, start a windowsill herb garden, or even try growing lemon pips in a pretty mug. They make a beautiful house plant and the smell is delicious. They can also be used in cooking, a little like kaffir lime leaves.

In addition to teaching kids how to grow some simple fruit and vegetables. Try other fun growing activities like;

Showing kids how to make their own Loo roll pots to grow in.

Make a mini propagator to give plants a good start . This is especially useful in winter with cool air and low light levels. A little protection can give more heat and allow you to grow a wider range of plants. You could also buy one like this.

In Winter, it's also the best time to start chilli and pepper plants on a warm windowsill or even start your own mushrooms under the stairs.

A Great Winter Gardening Activity, Is To Start A Range Of Rot Pots.

1. Simply take a large pop bottle, a range of twigs, shredded paper and compostable kitchen waste like peelings, tea bags and fruit (not onions or citrus).

2. Simply layer up your bottle with a layer of twigs' chopped up as small as possible, then a layer of kitchen waste, a layer of paper.

3. Then a layer of kitchen waste and continue until you fill the bottle. Leave the lid off and store somewhere outdoors for 6 weeks.

4. Once ready it'll look like black soil and give you a very nutritious food to give to your growing plants (for FREE bonus!)

Making a wormery to help compost your kitchen waste is also a brilliant idea and give you a wonderful natural feed for your plants. It is also fascinating to watch the worms make tunnels through the layers or soil and sand. Think of it like having a useful family of worm pets.

You could grow conventional fruit and vegetables, or why not try growing something a bit more unusual that you can't buy at the supermarket??

Winter Gardening, Also Means Planning.

Check out online seed companies and order their seed catalogues to have a look over and see what plants you want to grow for next year.

We draw out our gardening area on a large sheet of paper and the kids love to cut out pictures of their desired plants and lay it out.

For us its a great way to recap the year past and to plan some amazing activities for the coming year.

Build your own terrarium.

Plant bulbs in pots for spring colour.

Plant onion and garlic bulbs in cell trays when the weather is bad so they can get a head start until the soil is ready for planting.

Make cress heads

A wonderful activity for younger kids is making their own cress heads. Cress is a super fast growing seedling.

1. Take a few washed yogurt pots and pop in a few pieces of cotton wool.

2. Soak it with water and sprinkle with cress seeds.

3. We like to make faces on the yogurt pots with googly eyes and stickers, so when the cress grows it looks like hair and the kids can give it a hair cut.

Pinecones or other nuts make great projects over the winter. Collect closed pine cones and sit them onto of damp compost. In time the pine cone will sprout.

Collecting acorns and chestnuts is important too, these trees are so important for our ecosystem.

These trees are so large and grow to such old age it's important to grow more to replace older trees.

Some trees are having a hard time with disease and climate change so if we can help to protect them for the future by teaching kids how to grow and care for them then that's a benefit to everyone?

1. Simply pop them in pots of soil over the winter as they need a cold period to help them germinate and in the spring they will sprout and grow strongly.

2. Pot them on into larger pots as they grow and eventually you can plant them out somewhere they are needed.

Hawthorn, holly, ivy and rosehips can all be grown over winter too. They can be used in so many recipes too, Check out this recipe from the river cottage 'Preserves' book A.K.A my bible for food) for rosehip syrup which is oh so good for your vitamin C intake and makes a great sauce for ice cream.
Winter Gardening Crafts For Winter

Plant labels so you can identify your seeds once you start sowing.

Bird feeders to attract the local birds and wildlife. A great help once you get your plants growing. The good birds and bugs help protect your seedlings from bugs that want to eat your hard work.

Save loo roll tubes to use as seed pots

Make sun catchers

Melted pony bead sun catchers are so simple to make. We've made them for every season and they are fantastic for getting kids to grips with colour, nature and plants as well as thinking about the sun and weather that will affect their plants.

Whatever activities you try. Make it fun. Kids won't be interested in anything that feels like a chore!

So there you go! If you enjoyed this post, feel free to join us on Facebook for more great ideas!
