"How to Mind Map Laws" for Kids (primary school students)

31 August 2010 - 9:56am — Jennifer Goddard

Description:

Here is a Mind Map Vicki Matthews and I created for the Brain Training for Kids series.Making a Mind Map is fun. Just remember these six easy steps: 1.Grab a blank piece of PAPER, turn it sideways (landscape). 2.In the centre, quickly sketch an IMAGE (no bigger than your fist) of your MAIN TOPIC. 3.Use at least 3 COLOURS, for emphasis, structure, texture, creativity. 4. Draw some thick curved connected lines coming away from the picture, one for each of the main ideas you have. 5. Name each of these ideas and, if you want, draw a little picture – this uses both sides of your brain. Words are underlined throughout. This is because they are key WORDS, and the underlining, as in normal notes, shows their importance. 6. From each of these ideas, you can draw other connected BRANCHES, spreading like the branches of a tree. Add your thoughts on each of these ideas. These additional branches represent the details. See ‘Mind Map for Kids” to learn more about the shortcut to success at school. Source: Brain Training for Kids ----------------------------------------------------

How to help your kids improve concentration and be fitter and healthier

25 August 2010 - 7:39am — Jennifer Goddard

Ashmore State School was recently featured in our local paper(see below) as they have developed a "Brains Body Confidence" program each Friday morning. Combined with a Running club on Tuesday mornings the kids are able to focus better in class, concentrate more and burn up some excess energy.

This links into the amazing insights Dr John Ratey and Eric Hagerman shared in the book "Spark! : How exercise will improve the performance of your brain."
