A great assembly to introduce World Food Day, or to to discuss the issues around food shortages around the world.
One of the biggest issues related to climate change is food security. The world’s poorest - many of whom are farmers, fishers and pastorals - are being hit hardest by higher temperatures and an increasing frequency in weather-related disasters.
At the same time, the global population is growing steadily and is expected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050. To meet such a heavy demand, agriculture and food systems will need to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change and become more resilient, productive and sustainable. This is the only way that we can ensure the wellbeing of ecosystems and rural populations and reduce emissions.

Here is a complete CPD Presentation based around the theory of Flipped Learning
Have you watched a YouTube video to learn a new skill and then fixed your car, sketched a portrait or baked a cake? How many times did you pause and rewind different parts of the clip? The biggest advantage of flipped learning is that 'You can pause and rewind your teacher.'
Flipped learning enables children to complete the knowledge and understanding aspects of a learning journey OUTSIDE of class time. They are then ready to apply, analyse and evaluate the concepts INSIDE the classroom.
Here is a fully editable presentation that is a great introduction to The Vikings
The Vikings came from Norway, Sweden and Denmark which are North of England. Their land was not fertile. It was rocky. They found it hard to grow crops. They found that England was rich with plentiful lands and treasures. The climate was much warmer than where they came from, they preferred it and wanted to settle here.
