The activities will encourage pupils to think more carefully about the use of verbs to describe action and should enable them to develop their knowledge of verbs and stimulate them to write more descriptive poems. The whiteboard activities will encourage whole class/group discussion, collaboration and participation.

This activity allows pupils to investigate simple circuits by dragging circuit components into place to make a working circuit.

"My Interactive Classroom produces interactive whiteboard (IWB) learning games and classroom materials that engage students and make learning fun. The learning resources presented on this site raise the level of interactivity obtained from your interactive whiteboard. An IWB should be interactive for all. Often commercial and net based interactive materials are too teacher orientated - they are about the teacher clicking and 'interacting' with the board, while the students just "watch the interaction". My Interactive Classroom resources are whole class activities. Interaction is designed to be between the students and the board or, even more importantly, the activities facilitate learning interaction between the students themselves. My Interactive Classroom provides free download and very affordable learning games and classroom resource materials. All have been developed by experienced classroom teachers for you to enjoy with your own class. Please feel free to contact us with your comments, ideas and testimonies."
