Resource of the Week

Pandora

I first saw this short 'documentary' about Pandora, the planet from the film Avatar on David Mitchell's class blog 
David is a successful headteacher and eucation consultant.  You can follow him on twitter @DeputyMitchell or @Boyswriting or contact him through his website AskSir.co.uk

  • Write a non-chronological report about Pandora or one of the creatures who live there. 
  • Write an explanation or set of instructions 'How to Care For...'   How to care for one of the creatures from the clip. 
  • Write a narrative set on the planet. 
  • Write a diary entry for an astronaut landing on the planet, describing the journey, landing, meeting the inhabitants etc. 
  • Design a space vehicle for landing on the planet, what special tools would it need?

It takes a lot of time to build the sheds. 
If you would like to donate towards their upkeep please feel free.
Many Thanks!

'Can you build a numeracy shed?'

A question I get asked almost every day.  I would love to but the problem is that it is not my area of expertise and all my time is taken up by finding 'inspiring' literacy resources.  However I have found an amazing numeracy site run by Maths Magician, Board Game & Puzzle Inventor Paul Godding. 

Paul can also be found on twitter

Sample blog post

Is there an easy or quick way of working out the answer to this next number puzzle?

What is the sum of the 1st 100 whole numbers, that is 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . . . + 99 + 100?


If you are looking for more resources about literacy and reading, and think that this is a career you would like to pursue, look no further than the Master of Education in Reading and Literacy program at Benedictine University online.
