I would like to Focus on activity sets theme-Where we Live??
This topic can be covered from so many many areas of the wider curriculum as well as through Science. It could become the BIG IDEA for a month. Sa Bhaile/Mo Theach/Habitats/ Home & Abroad/ Foodwebs/Materials could all be covered.
I have found SCRATCH coding is a great way to encourage children to research various habitats and present the most interesting information they have found via a SCRATCH project using text, images and sound which can be shared with their classmates.
In our school we celebrated EARTH DAY last April with a series of fun lessons and activities. We used Curious Minds resources and DPSM classroom supports.
I think next school year I will use Milo and Marvin when exploring magnetism and electricity- I love their Forced Comb experiment.
