A Presentation that includes interactive activities which can be used as Lesson Starters in a Creative Classroom. These Starters can be used in the Classroom: 1. To prepare learners for new learning. 2. To revisit and practice important skills. 3. To consolidate knowledge from or make links with previous lessons (bridging). 4. To enable pupils to get a better grasp on each return to an idea or concept. 5. To make constructive use of time while pupils shift between one intensive activity to another. 6. When a disruption unsettles a class and they need to ease quickly back into productive work. Because of their short duration: 1. They are particularly useful for little and often revisiting of keywords and concepts. 2. They are useful as brain-break activities. 3. They contribute to engagement by offering a sense of fun. 4. They whether competitive or collaborative, often have the feel of a game.

Value-Based Learning is an approach to teaching that works with values. It creates a strong learning environment that enhances academic attainment and develops students' social and relationship skills that last throughout their lives. The positive learning environment is achieved through the positive values modeled by staff throughout the school. It quickly liberates teachers and students from the stress of confrontational relationships, which frees up substantial teaching and learning time. It also provides the social capacity to students, equipping them with social and relationship skills, intelligence and attitudes to succeed in school and throughout their lives.
