Brought to you in partnership with Warner Bros and SUPER., this new cross-curricular resource challenges students to master their inner power and become the Seventh Master of NINJAGO, just like the characters in the upcoming cinema release of The LEGO® NINJAGO® Movie on October 13, and The LEGO® NINJAGO Movie Video Game out October 6.
Inspired by Spinjitzu, the martial arts infused movements used by the characters of NINJAGO, pupils will use a gentle and dynamic sequence of motions to meet creative literacy outcomes. In-class and homework activities are grouped around the six Masters and their elements Green Energy, Water, Lightning, Fire, Earth and Ice. Each lesson and accompanying homework activity will result in a new page of their very own comic book.
This resource supports physical education (PE), English, PSHE, citizenship and art and design across Key Stage 2 (England, Northern Ireland, Wales) and Second Level (Scotland).

Created in partnership with Youth Sport Trust, Sonic Skills: Set for Success
is a PE-led resource for teachers of young people aged 9-13, inspired by
new film Sonic the Hedgehog, in cinemas 14 February 2020. Using the
trailer as its inspiration, the learning sequence gives pupils the opportunity
to explore the benefits of mindfulness and physical activity on our overall
wellbeing. Alongside this, an assembly targeted at 11-13 year olds is also
included focusing on wellbeing techniques inspired the character of Sonic
the Hedgehog.
Learners will take part in a range of simple mindfulness activities before
creating a range of exercises inspired by the speed, enthusiasm and skills
of Sonic the Hedgehog. Using the results of their exercises, pupils will
examine and present their data in a chart before using line graphs as
inspiration for their own Sonic Stories creative writing task. The sequence culminates in a Super Sonic Speed competition to win
exciting prizes.
Each lesson is carefully structured with teachers in mind and features
pupil-friendly activity sheets and engaging homework tasks. All supporting
materials include curriculum outcomes suitable for all nations and regions.

Learners are then asked to look at an example of an incident in a football themed film before discussing how fair play, respect and good conduct could change this situation; there are two options, Early Man for younger learners and Bend it Like Beckham for use with students aged 11 and older. The assembly concludes with learners reflecting on how they can exhibit fairness and fair play in their daily lives.
