Children's
activity sheets
All the teachers' notes and children's
activity sheets can be printed directly from the website,
but the best way to print is to convert the pages to a Word
document (by clicking on the icon at the top of the page).
This enables the pages to print out as the authors' intended,
and allows teachers to modify the children's sheets to suit
individual needs, and to provide appropriate differentiation.

Teachers'
Notes
It is important, therefore, to
read the teachers' notes (click on the black button in the
top right corner of the gateway) before engaging the children
with the gateway page. The teachers' notes provide the following
information:
· Aims of the activity
· Links to curriculum documents
· Approximate time required
· Resources
· Notes on carrying out the activity
· Links to children's activity sheets
· Discussion questions
· Ideas to extend the activity
· Linked activities.

Extra
The 'Colour Extra' section offers
interesting snippets of information about colour that are
not linked to any specific activity, but can add to a project
that the children are carrying out. This section can be
used by the children independently, and does not rely on
teacher support.

Photographs
Most of the photographs can also
be printed, but this can take some time, depending on the
computer hardware available. Some activities require the
printing of several images. If this presents a problem,
please contact us at the CIEC.

Welcome to Children Exploring Colour and
Industry, an interactive website for use by primary school teachers
with 9-11 year olds. This site aims to introduce children to the
importance, value and excitement of colour and the colour industry
through a range of learning activities. Currently, there are 26
activities from which the teacher can select. Each activity is linked
to curriculum statements and covers one or more of the following
subjects:
- Science
- English/Literacy
- Mathematics
- Art
- Design and Technology
- Geography
- History
- Information and Communication
Technology.
We aim to provide a flexible resource.
Any number of activities can be carried out, and in any order. Topic
routes are suggested, which can also be seen by clicking
on 'routes' at the top of the screen.
Each activity begins with an interactive
screen, the 'gateway' to the classroom activity. This gateway provides
images, animations, information and questions to promote discussion
of a particular topic. This discussion is intended to take about
30 minutes of class time. The children then
carry out an activity without the computer.
