Welcome to the Teaching and Learning Resources Website! Whether you are a teacher or a pupil, from the UK or overseas, I am sure you will find something of interest here. The purpose of this site is to provide stimulating, interactive resources for children in Key Stage 2 (ages 7 to 11) of Primary School. LEARNING In the Learning section, you will find specially created interactive resources written to support learning in Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum for England and Wales. All the resources in this section have been written by myself, a fully-qualified teacher with over 17 years' experience in the classroom teaching pupils aged 7 to 13. Resources include crosswords, multiple choice exercises, cloze procedure, wordsearches, web quests, games and more.

25/3/08 - A good example of a BECTA self-review using the current framework.

This is a tutorial in grammar for teachers of English at KS3 - the UK terminology for ages 12-14, i.e. Years 7, 8 and 9. It explains all technical ideas and terms, and makes some suggestions for using them in teaching, and especially in the teaching of writing. It doesn't try to cover the whole of English grammar, but presents enough grammar to satisfy the DfES requirements for teaching English at KS3. The topics covered include those required at KS2, as well as a few others; similarly, the terminology is completely compatible with the official KS2 glossary for literacy as well as with the official glossary for MFL at KS3, but includes a few extra terms.

A well-informed blog written by serving primary teachers.

23/04/2011 - "Combining thinking skills scaffolding, Philosophy for Children practices and MI theory, Ian took the eight intelligences (in no particular order): 1. Logical/Mathematical 2. Verbal/Linguistic 3. Interpersonal 4. Intrapersonal 5. Naturalistic 6. Body/Physical 7. Musical 8. Visual/Spatial And (over) simplified them into: 1. Numbers 2. Words 3. People 4. Feelings 5. Nature 6. Actions 7. Sounds 8. Sights Imagine putting these areas on each side of an octagon. Then you take what it is you want to explore, put it in the middle of the octagon and then simply work around each area asking questions to begin with. So, for example, if your topic was, say, 'beer' (I am typing this on a Friday night) you might come up with questions like: 1. How much beer is drunk in the UK each Friday night? 2. Where does the word 'beer' come from? 3. Who invented beer and why? 4. What sort of emotions do advertisers try and associate with beer in their marketing? 5. What are the natural ingredients of beer and where are they grown? 6. What are the various stages in the beer-making process? 7. What songs have been written about beer and its effects? 8. In TV and magazine advertising, how is beer portrayed?"
