This week we are currently looking at shapes - both 2D shapes and 3D objects. As part of a "let's apply this to our life" moment, we decided to break the kids into small groups of two or three. We then put a digital camera in their hand and told them that they were to traverse the school and take 10 photos of shapes that they saw in our environment. Kids loved it.

Matt Johnston on 08 Dec 10

Free documentaries come in a number of different styles and are made for a variety of reasons. Most of them aim to educate the viewer on a particular topic: war; environment; health. Documentaries can also be used to enlighten viewers and give them a new point of view. Mostly they serve to highlight our previous mistakes so they don't happen again - which is why it's important to watch them. Many documentaries these days also try to incorporate stunning visuals and sound to keep the viewer's attention as they're watching.
