First and Best in Education

Sealsongs – the Tower Hamlets primary school song book – a collection of assembly songs which aims to get children engaged through the experience of making and creating music. Its lyrics were written with considerable input from Year 4 and 5 pupils, so speak from children to children, and the musical backing tracks were professionally recorded.

Key Stage 2 Composing – the complete scheme of work – covers every aspect of primary school creative music making. Each lesson in the book is broken down into five and ten minute blocks, with each step fully detailed and accompanied by explanatory notes for the teacher.

THE CUCKOO ROCK SONGBOOK – includes twelve settings of poems by Phil Bowen.  These magical poems are full of unusual characters, colourful scenes and surprising wordplay; the original book was short-listed for the CLPE prize. The music has echoes of 60’s rock as well as various contemporary styles.

Song 1: On my way to school – about the places and people pupils may see on their way to school, and the thoughts they may have.  It is a fast, jolly and exciting song.

Song 2: Where do you live? – about the different environments in which animals live and the different life-styles they enjoy.  It is a medium-paced and cheerful song.

Song 3: Guess how I feel – about feelings of doubt and how they may be answered.  It is a medium slow, reflective and comforting song.

*** 10% free wristbands with all orders placed before the end of term ***

Why buy identification wristbands for your children? All parents and teachers should be concerned about what happens if they lose a child. It can easily happen – it’s difficult to keep track of 30+ children and if a pupil should become separated or is involved in an accident or incident, any member of the public or venue staff can call the number (on a personalised wristband) and be straight through to one of the teachers on the trip. If all children in your care wear an identity wristband with your mobile phone number written on it, then it could greatly speed up finding them.

A common problem that comes with teaching secondary school pupils who require additional support in literacy is that there is often a lack of interesting, informative and age-appropriate, ready-made material available.

Fortunately, Ark Educational has produced the “Literacy Through…”  Worksheets Series, which is a resource containing an extensive range of activity worksheets designed to support your pupils on their journey to becoming confident in their literacy abilities.

The worksheets within the volume are all designed so that they can be used either as a one-off or as a series of highly varied tasks. Activities range from comprehension questions and fill in the gap exercises, to filling in forms and completing a Wordsearch (for example).

Throughout, the volume encourages the development of fundamental literacy skills, such as: comprehension, vocabulary, descriptive writing, grammar, tenses, definitions, phonics, word-building, vowels, compound words and punctuation, among just a few.

What’s more, the resource is divided up into eight sections, each of which is based on a different subject area: Literacy Through… English, Literacy Through… Geography, Literacy Through… History, Literacy Through… ICT, Literacy Through… PE, Literacy Through… RE, Literacy Through… Science and Literacy Through… Technology.

To order the “Literacy Through…” Worksheets Series, simply fill in the order form and send it by fax, email, or post (see contact details below). If you have a school order number, you can also order by phone.
