A first day back inspirational resource. Use this poem to find out what the children want to achieve this year and how they are going to achieve it. Use it to start a discussion on working together and how to achieve that.

I made this to play at the end of the day to the children, to get them excited for Halloween. I know that parents will thank you for it!

This could be used to introduce how plants grow, different types of food around the world, the history of the Harvest, what harvest means to different people around the world, how we get energy from food, how we use foods to celebrate, or just to get the children thinking about harvest time and what they see around them and what harvest time means to them.

I made this video to highlight the basic principles of Remembrance Sunday and especially commemorating the centenary of the end of the First World War and Armistice Day. Hopefully the video will initiate discussion of: Feelings about the past. How war has an effect on all people. Sacrifice: especially the final image. The lives and freedom we have today.

As teachers, we all have strategies to engage children in their learning. Unfortunately, all classes are different and sometimes we need to change the strategy. Focusing children on a whole range of achievements, no matter how small, is beneficial for the whole class. The Learning Wolverine focuses on more than academic achievements. The focus is on how the child learns, not what they learn. Each achievement has its own merit as the child comes closer to being a Learning Wolverine. The video is the main part of the strategy, which can be used to initiate discussion about the best learning environment. There is also a follow up poster and child planner sheet.

I made this video to end on a high note at the end of term. To thank the children for all their hard work and to keep them reading!

I made this for inspiring the children who find poetry difficult. Its a fun look at the day and shows what the children could get out of it. Hope you enjoy it.

This poem can be used to initiate the discussion of the environment and how it has been destroyed by past generations. Also, how the world and its people needs looking after to keep the future positive.
