He leads the children through a quiz that will both test their knowledge of this great event and help consolidate what they have learnt. It can be used by the whole class, small groups or by individual children. The money raised from the sale of our resources is donated to a local northwest charity for children called MedEquip4Kids.

This is a great exercise for analysing different forms of poetry. In the short animated film a friendly hamster reads out David Horner’s poem - ‘I Am Hamster’ The powerpoint presentation can be used in the classroom to show how the children can create kennings and then make them into poems.
