Thank you for giving up your time to bring Earth Cubs into schools.

Let's check out some top tips!

Arrange a date and time

Make sure the school has a computer, internet, a screen and sound

Always arrive a bit earlier to check it all out!

Look through the content in advance so you're familiar with it

Practice going through the presentation

Think of some fun facts to bring in too!

Always start by introducing yourself!

Kids will love to know where you're from and what you do.

Think about the pace and intonation and pour your energy into it.

Channel your inner TV presenter!

If you make a mistake, don’t worry!

Unpredictable things can happen, just go with it, wait for calm then carry on!

If everyone is talking, wait. Don’t fight to be heard.

If the children are excited and loud, a hand signal will demonstrate you are waiting for everyone to listen.

Teachers are always on hand to help.

Listen to children’s opinions and comment on them, e.g. "That’s a great example of renewable energy!"

If they don’t answer correctly, value their participation e.g. "Well done for your answer!"

You need to create a safe space where children feel encouraged to have a go!

Direct your questions to different areas of the room.

Ask different year groups to put their hands up, so you can have more challenging questions directed at them.

Questions are a great way to engage with your audience and you can even ask the children to explain why they think something.

We have LOADS of amazing presentations and activities you can use.

If you have additional knowledge on the topic, share your experience!

Kids love stories!

Most assemblies are around 20 minutes.

Aim to present for around 15 minutes with 5 minutes for questions.

If you're running a classroom session, times may vary depending on your activity.
