Education Package of Integrated Activities:   Available for Schools

Michelle Hornery, in her role as Education Consultant, within the company 'Knock Your Socks Off Entertainment', has developed an Education Package of Integrated Activities specifically designed to complement the Performance and to be utilised as an Educational Resource for the school.

These Integrated Educational Activities are based on Bloom's Taxonomy of Cognitive Processes to aid in the development of Higher Level Thinking Skills through encouraging Problem Solving and Critical Thinking in children as well as catering to Multiple Intelligences.

These Integrated Activities have been grouped for grades 1-3 (NSW K-2) and 4-7(NSW 3-6), however they are designed to be used across all grade levels according to each child's ability.

The Education Package has been designed so that students can work independently and direct their own learning by progressing through the six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy at their own pace and understanding level, OR so that Teachers can choose activities appropriate for individuals or whole classes as they see fit.

The Package has been designed as a stand alone Integrated 2-3 week Program complementing the 'Knock Your socks Off Entertainment' performance of Achooo!, but the flexibility of the Bloom's Taxonomy Model means Teachers could merge any of the Activities into their current program, or use them as Enrichment Activities for Gifted Students.

The content of the Education Package is greatly enhanced by the Artwork of Sandra Tichborne, and is fully reproducible by the school for the use of classroom teachers.

The cost of the Education Package is $110
(The School pays 'Knock Your Socks Off Entertainment' $110 but the tax office requires the School to add 10% GST in the total payment sent to 'Knock Your Socks Off Entertainment', when we send you outa tax invoice. This GST is then RECLAIMABLE BY THE SCHOOL as a tax credit...),
and it will be made available to the School when a booking has been confirmed and paid for,
so that Teachers have time to familiarise themselves with the Activities before the Performance.

More information about the Education Package can be provided on request,
