Learning About the Brain and Body
This website gives children an opportunity to consider how the brain influences different skills and how a range of talents can be developed. It can help children identify what they are good at and identify ways in which they improve on areas that are not a particular strength.
There is an experiment that can give children insight into the dominant side of their body. Another activity develops children’s ability to understand facial expressions. This is useful in supporting children to become more aware of how feelings and emotions are conveyed by people’s faces and hopefully encourage them to take greater awareness of this when interacting with others.
There is also an experiment that explores body language. Children can consider what is actually been conveyed by the way people stand, move or gesticulate when interacting with others. This is useful for considering what others may communicate with their body language as well as encouraging children to be more conscious of what they convey to others with their own use of body language.
