This is the antidote to the SATs. Questions for children to answer in the way that they want to answer them. They cannot be wrong because all the questions ask for their own opinions. This is an opportunity to focus on the individual child, reminding them that their thoughts and views count and that we are truly interested in them. Questions ask them about their favourite things, their activities and their views on school and life in general. ..... and what is even better - there is no marking needed. Simply read their answers and have a chat about them. Even if you don't fancy using this resource, let's not forget that school and education can be fun, can be stress free and is about nurturing unique individuals, not mass producing little learning robots.

Get to know your new students with some question and answer sessions. This resource allows you to simply type in the names of your students on the slides provided. Then start the slideshow. It will begin with a "Name Chooser" page. All you have to do is click anywhere on the blue circle and it will take you to a random name slide. Perhaps the chosen student can then say hi to the class, or answer a question about their holiday? Fun spinning animation and an exciting wallpaper make this a captivating way of choosing students for tasks or to answer questions at any time of the year, but it is definitely useful at the start of the new school year when everyone is getting to know each other. This resource is also provided in a fully editable format so that it can be modified for a wide range of other purposes. I use this in my own school and the students love the random nature of the selection.
