Memory Masters - Reception, Year 1 and 2

We used the Royal Institution's Experimental lesson Memory Masters to explore ways to improve memory.

Pupils found it difficult to memorise 10 items just by looking at them.

Pupils thought of different ways to help them remember the items e.g. writing them down or drawing them.

They were shown how to link items in a story to help them remember. Some pupils did this verbally.

Some pupils chose to draw their story

Some pupils chose to write their story.

They were able to remember more of this items by doing this.

The accompanying info sheet was sent home to parents. https://www.rigb.org/docs/memory_masters_infosheet_0.pdf
