The Olympics
Why is the product innovative? • I liked the fact that you had lots of key facts/information, all about the topic, but in one resource. • The book provides tiered lesson plans for both KS1 and KS2, so has its own built in differentiation e.g. you could adapt a lesson aimed at younger children for older and vice versa. • A real wealth of different ideas, that are creative and practical, but easy to implement in a classroom situation. • I spend hours, researching a new topic, collecting ideas for displays and activities, but the ‘Hot Topics’ book, is a time saving device, that presents everything you need to know and how to present it in an interesting, but creative way.
Enhance the everyday life? • I waste lots of time looking for appropriate pictures and sources of information. • The way the book is organised provides sequences of lessons, that build and develop key history skills. • The resource, presents everything you need to know and appropriate ways to teach each area of the topic. • The resource provides ideas, to incorporate ‘Topic’ activities in a thoroughly cross-curricular way e.g. through geography, PE/Games, history and literacy , amongst others.
Pupil’s • The ideas are refreshing and provide a new approach to a topic that could be cautiously taught in a dry and unimaginative way. • There is something for everyone. • I have planned to use the outdoor and indoor Olympics (Themes 6& 7), with my Year 6 children. They are excited about designing their own games and trying to compete with each other, in their own version of the games.
Cost effectiveness • Well priced and a real value for money resource. • The resource is colourful and very visual • Super range of support materials and key information about each topic. Sarah Sumner, Westlea Primary School, Swindon

Windows XP paint in Windows 7
I like animating using MS Paint XP, but with the new windows 7 paint, I really do not like it. I am used to it, but I just do not like it. Download XP Paint: http://www.brothersoft.com/paint-xp-441845.html
