I have always made it a point in my teaching to include famous figures from BAME/BIPOC backgrounds in all of my teaching practise. Here is a collection of 10 profiles of famous geographers and explorers who have had a profound impact on our world. I chose one of these to be displayed on my geography display board every half term and often refer to them in our pshe sessions. I use these profiles to help the children understand their scientific contributions and its impact to our society. I also use these profiles to interest and engage the children in our science or english lessons e.g. writing a fact file about these individuals. I hope this makes life easier in your own classroom. I rely on feedback from my customers, which helps me to improve the resources and products so please be kind enough to leave feedback on your purchases.

This is a fun Science assembly for year 2. It has 2 catchy songs (1 with youtube links). It covers, what is a plant, what plants need to grow, the different parts of the plants, the importance of a plants in the food chain and a little prayer for if you work in Catholic school too. There are so many opportunities for fun acting and miming in this script too depending on the ability of your class. Hopefully it saves you some time for planning your own assemblies.

I have used this resource with my y2 group of Greater Depth readers and the children have really enjoyed the tasks. The children call this their ‘selfie questions’ as they answer them independently. Each page is based on 5 pages from the book. The questions cover a range of different questions types including retrieval, inference, prediction and clarification and each ‘selfie’ sheet has an extension task.
