I've downloaded one called Ziyad the Ant - I've attached it to this comment.
How do you use this type of thinking skills resource in your school/classroom?
(EPP members - I think this is the Aspiroweb site that was changing during our final session - if I find the link to the displays, I'll post it! Nx)
What do you think?
Anyone got the books?
Greek wordstone tower and tic tac toe
This is Janella Martin's work - she's a member of EPP 2.
Janella is teaching a Y5 topic on Ancient Greece. She has added some Greek prefixes and suffixes to Wordstone Tower, and has also developed a tic tac toe grid to provide pupils with choice in how to handle content.
How could you adapt this grid to use in other topics?
If you adapt or adopt it - let us know here!
