Barefoot New Term Starter Guide #NTSG campaign goes live on 27 August and will run to 31 October.
The new resources provide educators with a pack of materials they can use straight away in the classroom. The keyring gives quick computational exercises and the mini lesson plans provide a condensed version of the full resource. Barefoot have also included a resource tracker so they can record what lessons they have downloaded/used and pupil stickers as a reward for the children when they have completed an activity.
The five assorted resources are:
- 2D Shape Drawing
- Bug in the water
- Pizza Pickle
- Scratch Jnr Tinkering
- Variables, unplugged activity
Schools that request a workshop to be delivered up to 31 December 2018 using the campaign code “101” will receive an NTSG 2.0 Pack with their teacher packs that includes:
- A kick-start guide to Barefoot, including FAQs
- Five mini resources, including lesson plans and activities
- A keyring for quick activity ideas
- Puzzle and pupil stickers
- A resource tracker that allows teacher to log and track their Barefoot progress
Involving everyone
Alongside the campaign we also have a prize draw running to help us drive more interaction with the program through social media. To take part teachers just need to download all five of the NTSG 2.0 featured resources. Then, simply post a fun image of their class using the resources in a lesson to the Barefoot Facebook and Twitter pages, under #NTSG.
Barefoot will draw a winner at the end of October and they will receive a tech pack of goodies including a digital camera they can use in school.
Please look out for our social media posts on Facebook and Twitter that you can share and re-tweet. #NTSG
