These resources were created as part of a large school networking project in Staffordshire, which focused on inspiring children to write (particularly boys). A range of resources were developed which have been used successfully in schools. If you find them useful let me know and I’ll add more.
I’ve started with Imaginary Worlds as this was a popular topic with Year 4 pupils and I happened to be working alongside a Year 4 colleague. The video files referred to were downloaded either from the film’s own home site or from Jurassic Punk. I am limited to the file type I can upload to this blog and so have converted some files to PDF. We did create a Photo Story file focused on Imaginary Worlds with accompanying music to add impact. You could quickly and easily compile one of these yourself.
All materials have a literacy focus but may have a history geography, PSHE or other context. The materials based around the Blitz, Evacuation and the Egyptians proved particularly successful.
