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.
