This Sci-Fi Thriller has echoes of Stranger Things and has been designed for upper primary to read as a whole class. Every chapter is an A4 page and can be printed or shared via device for pupils to read in pairs. There are tasks to accompany every chapter, covering all of the second level reading E&O’s (some not in much depth but enough to complement any other work you might be doing in literacy). “I can see this working brilliantly at the start of the year for any upper primary classroom” “I was hooked and raced to find out what happened as every chapter seemed to end on a cliff hanger” “A fantastic read, I really need to know what happens in the final chapter” And that, is where you might be a little annoyed - this story doesn’t have a final chapter - it hopefully reveals enough throughout the story for the pupils to try and create their own endings. Could be a Big Write or end of unit assessment style task too. However, if you are desperate for a solid ending, just message me on twitter and I’ll gladly send it over to you.

A series of 5 lessons that explores budgeting and calculating percentage increase/decrease all whilst discussing the Global Goals: "You now work for Breakwater Bank. Your first client has asked you to invest £200 in a variety of companies. They are looking for you to buy shares in businesses that are looking to rapidly expand. You must read and understand the goals of each business before deciding how many shares you will buy. You need to calculate your expenditure, display your investments in a graph and email your client justifying your decisions"
