Inspired by true events, this resource is aimed at helping students to recognise different aspects of bullying - that it isn't all fighting! 'One Boy's Bullying' takes the form of a boy's noticeboard, where he pins his occasional thoughts to it, showing the development of his bullying story. Becoming increasingly desperate, the boy's situation becomes ever more fragile as he begins to lose sleep, lose weight and lose his family. Guaranteed to provoke quality discussion, this resource comes with a lesson plan and some extension activities.

A resource aimed at encouraging younger children to think about their emotions - and those of others, to develop a sense of empathy. Three different activities, showing a young girl being sad, happy and worried, with discussion points designed to challenge young childrens' perceptions. Each activity has discussion points to develop language and discussion skills.

A collection of FOUR quality images that are designed to engage students in discussion with a view to developing listening skills. The four starters are - - What's Your Worst Nightmare (Food? Anxiety? Parents? School?)?; - Should Homework Be Banned? - Fast Food or Healthy?; - Should We Get Paid For Good Work? Each encourages students to collaborate - in pairs or small groups, make notes and plan a response that can be shared with the larger group.

A series of 18 hi-res images with a mixture of inspirational and motivational quotes from leading figures in society, past and present - Abraham Lincoln, Steve Jobs, Nelson Mandela etc. Superb 'instant' wall display, with pictures based around the natural environment, these images can be used as a discussion starter, or as the basis for a lesson.
