A free YouTube video and downloadable PDF file based on a substance called ambergris, produced by sperm whales and used in the making of perfumes. References to the use of ambergris during the Black Death, as part of the King of England's breakfast, and use by the ancient Egyptians. A fun introductory topic to themes such as chemistry, World Oceans Day, environment, conservation, whales, oceans, and the seaside. But equally of use for lessons on history, geography, smoking, laws, synthetic chemicals, and smell as one of our senses.

A true story from Royston Raymond's book 'Fishermen's Tales' which recalls the local stories of fishermen from the island of Alderney. This particular story is about Royston's time at sea with a fisherman known as 'The Colonel'. Read by the author himself Royston Raymond. Would make a lovely addition to a literacy lesson, or a lesson about the ocean, World Oceans Day, or the jobs that people do.

I took these photos as I was writing my ‘Primary School Diaries’ novel, soon to be published on Amazon for ages 8 and up. As part of my planning I had stuck lots of post it notes on the wall to help me order my thoughts, and as I transferred the notes onto my computer, I scrunched each one up and threw it in a pile. The pile could look like failure, but to me it was a picture of success, or breaking down a big task into little bite size chunks, and the pile of screwed up paper growing as I achieved each little task. I hope these photos will inspire students with their own studying or challenges they face.

This is a YouTube video and a PDF download about the Northern Gannets which live on Gannet Rock on the British Channel Island of Alderney. During World War II, in 1940 there was just one pair of gannets on the rock, but with the Nazis on the island and the local people evacuated to the mainland, fishing declined and so the gannets flourished. You can track the gannets migration pattern online too! http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_video?v=ibGiSKZU8jQ&ref=share Please leave me a review and I will send you any other resource of your choice for free (contact me: office@oceansproject.com).
