Primary School Activities

Keeping the school year well planned with educational activities for primary school aged students can be a challenge for most teachers. Planning curriculum that aligns with VELS, marking work, running sport and doing yard duty can often leave little time to think about planing other primary school activities for students.

Throughout the primary school year you may find that there are times when doing some 'different' primary school activities can really motivate students and provide a new enthusiasm for their learning.

Using external companies for ideas and help in implementing new and interesting primary school activities is often a great way to get your students involved in some new types of activities. Whether you want to focus on a particular learning area that your class has been studying or throw in a totally new activity, there is a plethora of ideas to choose from and many many ways to keep primary school students entertained and learning.

For entertaining and educational primary school activities why not visit Reptile Encounters. They provide exciting reptile shows in your schools, bringing animals such as snakes, lizards and even crocodiles! Their staff are fully trained and will tell you about the different animals, helping you learn more about our great native fauna.

Sometimes your school may be looking to plan a school camp or field trip that costs a reasonable amount of money. Government schools can have tight budgets so certain things may not be in the realms of the school without additional funds. That's where fundraisers can be beneficial. Not just a trip but also if the school needs new equipment or a building for their students, raising money can be a great way to achieve these goals.

It is also the perfect way to provide new activities for your class. Getting them to implement your school fundraising ideas will help them learn about finances, give them an interesting activity to participate in, and most importantly, help the school. An easy fundraising activity can be selling raffle tickets or chocolates, but others can be a trivia night, school fete or sausage sizzle.
