Teacher Notes

Could be used to add breadth to sound and light topics.

The clip could be used as a stimulus for children to create their own television programme about how television programmes are made.

This clip would provide good cross-curricular links with ICT and literacy, use of equipment, angles, editing, scripts and directions.

This clip will be relevant for teaching Science at KS1 and KS2 in England.

Also Foundation and KS1 in Northern Ireland and Early/1st/2nd levels in Scotland.
