I loved Margaret's idea about using the pennies to make 10p pieces when doing place value.

Using a grid format it is very visual for the children to come up and fill in the square of their choice when making a graph.

Use rub and reveal (slowly) when introducing a topic or during plenary sessions.

Use the bank of resources to introduce a topic or for phonics identification or sorting activities.

Always put in page notes when making or adapting a flipchart - you may know what you are doing now but may not remember this time next year!!!

"Magic Writing" is a must[clap]

Make sure you investigate the assessments and activities supplied with the software (no point re-inventing the wheel)

Just the first ones I thought of!

Hi Caryn, thanks for these tips, very useful. I was just wondering what you meant by the one above... how would you use the bank of resources to introduce a topic... etc...
Thanks...!

If I am introducing a topic e.g. spring I use the resources to generate ideas. Also useful for creative writing and history topics. I just drag relevant pictures up and let the discussion begin - also a great way to discover what the children want to find out. Hope this makes sense!

Thanks Caryn...
Ahh, now I see,

Very interesting, seeing how different teachers make specific use of the software...
