<p>Bullying, Gaming, and Group Chats: Why Does It Matter How I Behave Online?</p> <p>In this 2024 lesson, students will reflect on the importance of treating others with kindness and respect whenever they interact with friends and classmates online. According to OFCOM’s latest research, 55% of 8- to 17-year-olds regularly use online games and apps like WhatsApp to chat with or hang out with friends. However, with the rise of this kind of communication, we are also seeing increasing cases of online bullying in these forums. Sometimes this is a spillover from bullying that takes place in real life, but it can also occur between friends who typically behave respectfully in person. Could also be used in Tutor Time for LKS3 or during anti-bullying week.</p> <p>We will discuss the importance of treating our online friends with the same level of kindness and respect that we would expect to receive ourselves, both online and in real life. We will also highlight scenarios where children can unknowingly bully their friends online, by taking teasing too far or excluding friends in online gaming situations. Finally, we will discuss strategies for managing online relationships and, where necessary, setting boundaries with friends who behave badly online.</p> <p>The lesson includes a starter activity that serves as a recap of the previous lesson, a video clip with reflection questions, a set of case studies to discuss, and a plenary task. Everything is editable should you wish to make amendments, but it is also fully resourced and ready to use if you want to hit the ground running. The lesson is best suited to students in Year 6 (UKS2) or possibly Year 7 (LKS3).</p>

This is a great game to play in pairs or with the whole class. It really helps pupils to use persuasive language while improving their speaking and listening skills. They also love it.<br /> <br /> For Pairs<br /> You need 2 dice. The first player throws a dice for the horizontal and the second player throws a dice for vertical. You then choose who is for and who is against each statement. I usually choose the first round then the second round is chosen by whoever lost the first round and so on. Each pupil has to come up with the most reasons to support their side of the statement. The person with the most wins then you throw the dice again.<br /> <br /> For Whole Class<br /> You need 2 dice. The first player throws a dice for the horizontal and the second player throws a dice for vertical. You then choose who is for and who is against each statement. I usually choose the first round then the second round is chosen by whoever lost the first round and so on. The whole class decides, by raising hands, which was the most persuasive. It helps to limit the amount of time to say 1 minute each.

Lots of games to introduce important concepts of probability.

This resource contains 20 + spelling activities and games.<br /> Suitable for any word list (KS1, KS2)<br /> Almost no prep needed apart from printing (some games require a dice or a spinner).<br /> Can be used year after year making it a great investment!<br /> Activities include: secret code writing; spelling battleships; look/say/cover/write/check; iPad spellings; postcard writing; word search making; rainbow spelling; dictionary work; word webs; word swirls; spelling hangman; board game; word families; comic strips and more!

<p>There are various classroom maths activities, including maths games, which are purely recreational – and no doubt they have their place. But there are maths games which demand a real involvement on the part of the players and which call for both reasoning and imagination(surely two key features of any worthwhile mathematical activity). Some of these are games for two players, where the aim is to win and where competitive excitement can run high; others are solo games, where the aim is to achieve a particular objective and where the satisfaction is a more private one. We have tried numerous games in the classroom, with pupils of different ages and abilities, and have selected eight of our favourites for the collection offered here.</p> <p>The booklet provides clear instructions for each game, together with the appropriate grid for you to photocopy and laminate. None of the games requires complicated materials and all of them are easy to explain and to put into practice.</p>

<p>This game is fantastic for developing fluency and rapid recall of multiplication facts.<br /> How to play:<br /> Put all of the strips into a cup/pot<br /> Children play the game in groups<br /> Children choose a strip and if they answer correctly, they get to keep this.<br /> If children pull out a ‘KABOOM’ strip they have to put all of their collected strips back into the pot.<br /> The child at the end of the round with the most strips wins! (This game can last as long as you need it to, which is fab!)</p> <p>Children can use a calculator to check everyones answers, a whiteboard to support them or a multiplication square.</p> <p>This pack includes all of the times tables up to 12. This game can be adapted for any year group.</p>
