We recently received this wonderful fact filled pack from Archiboldclutterbuck (to read more about Archiboldclutterbuck resources click here).
Contents and what we think
The pack is made up of an activity booklet and a poster. The poster is a great visual tool; with in depth (but not overbearing-too much to read) information about 6 critically endangered animals across the globe. Each animal is listed with a fact file (for instance type of animal, habitat etc), and reason as to why they are critically endangered. For each animal listed there is a beautiful photograph; I do believe having photography in such posters and texts is important , as it really does bring the whole concept and idea to 'life'.
We love the poster as it's a great size, vibrant and easy to understand, with all the vital information but without too much to read, making it a perfect poster!
The activity pack is what you would ideally expect when teaching endangered animals. Learning for children needs to be fun, with lots of hands on activities. When children are made to read paragraph after paragraph and answer questions, that doesn't really work, the boredom and repetition of a task takes away the fun which in turn stops children from absorbing any new information (and feeling extremely bored).
For this reason , I definitely like this pack, as a lot of alternative methods are used to teach something very important; things like colouring, wordsearch, cross word, quiz, designing your own poster to working outside of the pack (links to website for further reading and checking the status of some more animals).
The pack, therefore, adds a lot of fun and, as we appreciate learning is fun, whilst working through this pack and all the exciting tasks, you will notice just how effectively and efficiently children retain the information.
Little person has thoroughly enjoyed the pack. Not only has it given him much more information, it has also facilitated his learning in this area. He has been keen to learn more about endangered animals, and this pack has definitely helped. Upon completion, you and your child/children will have so much more knowledge with regards to endangered animals such as Rhinos, Bluefin Tuna, Orangutan and many more.
