What's in a pack?

  • A vibrant poster based on a current news story. This resource encourages the children to respond to what they see or hear about on the poster.
  • A teacher guide which details the news story, a link to it and step by step instructions on how the resource could be used.
  • A Widgit symbols and text resource to simply explain what is happening in the news with open questions to prompt thought and discussion.
  • A resource with images to allow the children to relate what they have heard to their own experiences with further Widgit symbols/text questions to support discussion.
  • A British Values poster written in Widgit symbols and text.
  • A UN Rights poster written in Widgit symbols and text.
  • A Widgit symbols and text resource to take home to support consolidating the learning at school.
  • An online area giving you access to past packs, training and additional useful resources.

We really enjoy how relevant the resources are to current events. It has sparked curiosity in classrooms and opened up lots of discussion. The images are quick and easy to use. They are relevant for all age groups.
