Educational Units

Hi Teachers

If you've purchased my two books 'Bird's-eye View' and 'Operation Nest Egg' and would like an educational unit to compliment the book download my educational resource: 'Saving New Zealand's Native Birds'. The educational resource is for Years 3 to 8 and follows the new curriculum syllabus.

If you're looking for an educational resource to compliment my book 'Save Our Seas' download the 'Care for Our Coast' Unit from the Sir Peter Blake Trust site.

I've also prepared a short unit for Years 3 to 6 on working dogs to go with my book 'Dogs on the Job' Download 'Working Dogs in Our Community'.

Want a volcano educational unit? Download the 'Rangitoto Teachers Resource'. It complements the book 'Rangitoto'.

I've designed a comprehensive 'Save the Planet' type educational unit to go with my 'Eco-Rangers Save the Planet' book.

For educational resources on Leadership and Antarctica please email Sir Peter Blake Trust for your free copy (written by Maria Gill).

For an educational resource on Organic Gardening in your school download this PDF or find out more about it here (also written by Maria Gill).

Keep an eye on this page because I'll be loading more educational units with each of my books.

I hope your class enjoys the units!

Cheers

Blog

Teachers, if you're looking for children's or young adult book to recommend to your students - please check out the NZ Kids Blog page. The site provides links to teaching resources and interviews that go with the book. All the reviewers have been either teachers or librarians and are published authors.

If your class or school have been doing good deeds in the environment - please tell me about it so I can include it on the Eco-rangersNZ blogsite.
