Pie Corbett“Many teachers have found that jumpstarting their lessons with quickfire activities is an ideal way to engage every child. Jumpstart! Literacy provides a bank of activities to playfully and imaginatively engage children in spelling and sentence construction as well as writing and drama games. The new Jumpstart! Poetry is packed with creative, quirky games as well as poetry writing and reading workshops. Jumpstart! Storymaking is full of story games to develop characterisation, settings and storytelling. Both these new volumes are jampacked with ideas to help you develop ‘talk for writing’ imaginatively and powerfully. Literacy should be enjoyed by children and teachers because it hinges around the playful, imaginative and a powerful use of language. May creativity flourish and the imagination strengthen - without it, we are lost.”

Pie Corbett is a freelance writer and poet. He has worked as an English Inspector in Gloucestershire, as an OFSTED Inspector, and has run training nationally for the NLS.

Steve Bowkett“Whenever I visit schools children invariably ask me – ‘Where do you get your ideas from?’ And I invariably answer, ‘The best way to have ideas is to be nosy.’ This is something they can appreciate, because most children already are. I go on to say that I mean being nosy by noticing things, and being nosy by asking questions. This develops a powerful attitude that exploits children’s natural curiosity, and which we can then apply to all areas of their learning.”

Steve Bowkett visits schools extensively to do storytellings and run workshops on writing, creativity and thinking skills. Countdown to Non-Fiction Writing is his 52nd published book.

Alison WilcoxAlison Wilcox is an experienced teacher and author, whose book, Descriptosaurus was the culmination of many years of research to develop a resource that would inspire and assist children with their creative writing. Alison’s aim is to encourage and stimulate young writers by giving them the confidence and descriptive vocabulary to experiment and have fun with the creative writing process, and to assist reluctant writers in overcoming the challenge of the blank page.

John Taylor“I was lured away from my native Lancashire to the somewhat flatter West Midlands where I now live and work. I taught in Key Stages 1 & 2 for twenty-odd years before moving on to work in behaviour support and reintegration. Nowadays I work for the Walsall Virtual School for Looked After Children. Writing is my way of avoiding soap operas on the family telly! I also run the website for the Staffordshire village where I live. My hybrid bike gives me a buzz, as does playing with my digital SLR camera. I’m also an armchair Formula 1 fan.”

Heather Luxford Heather Luxford is an Advanced Skills Teacher who works in two primary schools in West Sussex. She works with a wide range of ages which supports her Advanced Skills focus of curriculum development, thinking and learning skills. In addition she carries out some consultancy work on ways to develop a skills based creative curriculum.

Whilst studying for her Masters degree she became aware how prevalent the importance of talk was in the materials she read, and yet there was limited practical guidance on how to teach talk skills. As a result Heather started working with her classes to develop the ideas that are now published in the book Learning through Talk.

Lizzie SmartLizzie Smart is a Principal Lecturer at the University of Chichester, where she teaches on Core Curriculum and Subject Specialist English courses for under- and post-graduate student teachers and for qualified teachers on Masters courses. She came into teacher education following time in an LEA advisory service and, before that, was a Primary Headteacher. Lizzie also works for Ofsted to inspect Initial Teacher Education courses. This has enabled her to meet some very inspiring new teachers and see English taught well in their classrooms. She has a passion for enabling teachers to enthuse and inspire their pupils to love English as much as she does.

She has now ‘downsized’ to a part-time contract, which she hopes will allow her more time to write and is already planning her next book.

Children, their World, their EducationFinal Report and Recommendations of the Cambridge Primary ReviewEdited by Robin Alexander, University of Cambridge, UK • Howdochildrenlive,thinkandlearnduringtheirearlyandprimaryyears?

• Howwellareourprimaryschoolsdoing?

• Whathasbeentheimpactofgovernmenteffortstoraisestandards?

• Bywhatvaluesshouldschoolsbeguidedandwhatcurriculumandlearning environments should they provide?

• Howcanprimaryeducationbestmeettheneedsoftoday’schildrenand tomorrow’s world?

These were among the many questions that the Cambridge Primary Review set out to answer when it was launched in 2006. Politically independent and grounded in an exhaustive array of national and international evidence, it is the most comprehensive enquiry into English primary education for 40 years. Its 31 interim reports have provoked lively headlines and debate.

In this book, the Review presents its findings and recommendations. Compellingly and accessibly written, the book is divided into five parts:

• Part 1 sets the scene and tracks primary education policy since the 1960s

• Part 2 examines children’s development and learning; their upbringing and lives in an increasingly diverse society; their needs and aspirations

• Part 3 explores what goes on in schools, from the vital early years to aims, curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, standards and school organisation

• Part 4 deals with the system: ages and stages; teachers, training, leadership and workforce reform; funding, governance and policy

• Part 5 pulls everything together with 78 formal conclusions and 75 recommendations for policy and practice.

Children, their World, their Education is more than a ground-breaking report. It is an unrivalled educational compendium. It assesses two decades of government-led reform. It offers a vision for the future. It goes to the heart of what education in a democracy is about. It deserves to be read by all who care about children, their primary education and the world that they will inherit.

The Cambridge Primary Review is supported by Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and directed by Robin Alexander.

Cambridge Primary ReviewThe Cambridge Primary Review Research SurveysEdited by Robin Alexander, University of Cambridge, UK

The Cambridge Primary Review Research Surveys is the companion volume to Children, their World, their Education. It contains, re-edited and updated, the 28 surveys of published research which were specially commissioned for the Cambridge Primary Review from 70 academics in

21 universities in four countries. It is probably the most comprehensive survey of research in primary education yet undertaken.

YOUR LESSONS!

‘I am a fan of Pie Corbett and have not

been disappointed with this excellent book.

It is crammed full of writing and reading

ideas for poetry learning with increased

enjoyment and fun. I feel sure that using

these activities will support the children’s

love for reading and writing of all genres.’

– Customer Review

‘This book is full of fantastic, short activities

that are perfect for literacy starters. They can

also be ‘played’ during any spare time you

have (maybe a couple of minutes before lunch

or at the end of the day). Suitable for all KS2

children (I teach y5), and could be easily

adapted for younger children. I have noticed

an improvement from all my children’s

sentence level work after playing a selection

of these games for only a few weeks.’

– Customer Review

‘This book is fantastic! Just what I needed to

make me want to teach maths again. After

being given many boring recommendations

for maths teaching, it has reminded me that

creativity in maths makes it fun. Lots of

kinaesthetic games, and plenty of cool tricks

using the interactive whiteboard for me to

show off with next time I am observed

teaching maths.’ – Customer Review

Maths!John Taylor

“In today’s learning objective driven, target obsessed classroom it’s easy to miss critical gaps in a child’s understanding. Did they find the “correct”

answer using known number facts and computation or have they simply counted on or copied off a neighbour? A firm grasp of the basics including exchange and place value is crucial to understanding all areas of maths. To check they have these skills you need to sit by them while they talk you through what they are doing – and why.

Move On Maths is a fun, teacher-friendly resource that builds on the children’s mathematical knowledge and skills.”
