Developing Experts will stream two LIVE lessons as part of Science Week 2024 on Friday 8th March. The link to the video will appear on the platform, in the sidebar, under Live Lessons.
Session 1: 9:30am for Reception and KS1
Session 2: 11am for KS2
These lessons are designed to take place within the classroom setting, so children can complete the activities on their handout during the LIVE lesson. Please print the appropriate handout prior to the session. Children will also need to take part in partner/class discussions. Accessing the LIVE lesson via the platform will enable teachers to comment and interact in the session - providing answers to the questions posed and asking questions throughout the session. We will try to mention as many schools as we can throughout the session!
Children will have the opportunity to ask Mike questions LIVE in the lesson. Teachers can submit these questions through the comment section. Children may wish to think about these questions in advance, and use the butterfly templates provided to write these questions. You can submit questions to us before, by sending a photo of the decorated butterfly questions, or live within the lesson. These questions should focus on insects and time.
Please note, if you are unable to attend the session live, a recording will be available shortly after the session for you to re-watch.
