Hi Girly Geeks


 * I have a few ideas for the project as well. I agree with Lorraine about the nutrition topic, as I think that's an area that we could really integrate authentic learning in. The children could even plan and cook a meal (obviously with help from adults). Before they cook it though, they could research and learn about nutrition and the good effects and bad effects of consuming different foods.There are plenty of youtube videos and games available about this area online which would be the technology side of this assignment.**

Another idea is maths**. Even though I //hate// maths, there are so many great little games and demos available online for children. The kids would be able to have fun whilst learning and I think that is really important when it comes to maths because there is such a __negative__ stereotype surrounding the topic - I'm no exeption, I hate it!! But I have learned through doing another one of the units this semester that HotMaths is a fun, interactive way for students to become involved. HotMaths is an online teaching software where they explain concepts and then have little demos where you become involved to help develop your understanding of the concept. Maths is easy to make authentic as we can do basic sums using the kids such as - Ben, Jerry and Alex in one group. how many in total? 3. Take Alex away and how many in total? 2 . There are obviously more fun ways such as using jelly beans or playing games such as 'Bottles.' Bottles is the game where you count around the room starting from one and whoever gets a multiple of 7 or anything with 7 in it has to say bottles. I used to and still do love this game and its a great way for kids to learn their 7 times tables.**


 * Also showing the children how maths is linked to //everyday life// is very important because I feel in myself, if I do not see the relevance to me and my life, it is hard to sit through and learn. __So students can go to shops and add prices in supermarkets, find out how much 2.4kgs of grapes at $3.30 per kg is__ .**


 * Let me know what you guys think.**
