Learn about new stuff

This really great site Book Box is from Channel 4 and get you in touch with your favourite authors and the books they have written.

See how many books you have read by them and which books you need to read to complete their work!

This site, Learning Clips, has been recommended to us by Charlotte. It shows a video clip introduced by triangle man (great for bottom sets) and has interactive activities for the kids to do. There are also work sheets that could be set for homework. It has lots of free Year 3,4 & 5 Maths resources for the Renewed Primary Framework too. Thanks Miss Smith.

PLEASE NOTE: The clips are being offered free of charge to all schools during the development phase. In return we aim to encourage feedback and make the material highly user driven, focusing especially on:

This free website, Learn Your Tables, was created in response to a demand from teachers for a simple but effective way of getting a printable assessment of pupil table skills. The website also provides two different levels of exercises that allow pupils to practise their tables.

Originally the game was going to be added to the 90+ games in the main SUMS Maths set but they decided to make it a freely available resource! Thanks.

They are designed to help children understand and generalise cause and effect (the action / reaction bond), one of the foundation stones for early learning. Also good for SEN pupils.

All of the videos can be played online or downloaded for use on a PC or Macintosh computer.

It’s Anti-Bullying Week 17th – 21st November and the good people at Film Education have created some resources linked to films that can help with lessons.

Click HERE to go to the site and get the resources.

Don’t forget to look at the Film Club website and set up (funnily enough) a film club in school.

A free PVR (for showing film in school) license, free DVDs and loads more.

Lovely stuff.
