A Boy in the Girls Bathroom

I've just finished teaching this unit of work to my year 5 class and they absolutely loved it. They could listen to me read forever and that doesn't often happen - 15 mins max is the usual attention span. One session, lasted 40 mins and they wanted more! An amazing book for children. We also used the setting up of e-mail accounts for Bradley and Jeff (characters) and this was another wonderful idea. Thank you.

I'm really glad you and your class have enjoyed working with those books. Why don't you try Fly Eagle Fly next? Children and teachers have really enjoyed working with it - there's been some fantastic poetry.

Into the forest

Just finishing Into the Forest By Anthony Browne.

Children have done some amazing work as a response to this, including letters, music and drama. Didn't think I would find a book as amazing as Varjak Paw to teach next, but I have and looking forward to planning and teaching another unit!!

What next?

One World Week and Arabian nights CLPE unit

I planned using the teaching unit for Arabian nights to fit in with the international theme of 'One World Week' and 'stories from different cultures'. All the children were engaged in every lesson. The activities in the teaching sequences met the needs of all learners. Very enjoyable and engaging for all. Brought back memories of my teaching experiences in the Emirates!!!
