The Curiosity Crows

Average Rating3.00
(based on 22 reviews)

Welcome to The Curiosity Crows! I’m an autistic explorer with a passion for natural sciences and the planet. I create hand-drawn, minimalist, black and white coloring pages—ideal for early finishers, students who need a brain break, or as top-up pages and wet break time fillers. You’ll also find photo bundles of images taken in the days of camera film rolls, perfect for bringing a touch of exploration and nostalgia into your lessons. And paper dolls for top-up activities for your class.

Journey to the Arctic: Photo Collection

(0)
A small collection of photos from my time spent working in the Arctic town of Point Barrow, Alaska. Photos were taken before the invention of the digital camera and are on slide film so the resolution isn’t as good as it would be today. However, the photos may be of interest to students learning about climate, or wanting to know what life is like if you go to school in the Arctic. Can you spot the polar bear footprints, and polar bear in the distance. Visit the local cemetary, school, softball court, homes, and see the tundra from the air. These photos are from the summer time. In the winter the town is in darkness.

**Fish, Fishing, Food and Farming or World Oceans Day inspired simple colouring page of a fish, probably closest to an Angel fish. ** This hand-drawn fish colouring page was created by me in 2013 while teaching abroad, in a school with limited resources, budget, and electricity. It’s a low-prep, economical, black-and-white drawing designed for a variety of educational activities. It was originally part of my geography and biology lessons with Key Stage 1 and 2 students, and also used for creative writing, English as a Foreign Language (EFL), and Environmental Science (ESL) classes. Drawing from my experiences as a keen BSAC Scuba Diver and full-time explorer, I used my personal adventures to fuel the imagination for this activity. Perfect Top-Up Activity for brain breaks and self regulation transition between topics and themes for mindfulness and sensory overwhelm. fast and early finishers as an extra resource to have at hand wet breaks and recess supply teacher quick/low prep activity just for fun Potential Top-Up Activity as part of the National Curriculum: Science (KS1 & KS2): Animals, including Humans: Identify fish and their characteristics (e.g., gills, fins). **Living Things and Their Habitats: **Explore aquatic habitats and how fish adapt to them.
