Learning to read and write isn’t just about books. Today’s children are also reading headlines, posts and messages – and they need the skills to make sense of them. First News’ new TeachKit: Media & Information Literacy makes it simple to weave media and information literacy into primary classrooms, with clear progressive frameworks, fully resourced lessons and strong teacher support. Updated fortnightly with the latest news, including tricky topics, TeachKit helps pupils practise reading critically and writing thoughtfully.

Whether you opt to visit the Museum in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire—or visit virtually from your classroom— your students will gain skills and confidence in literacy whilst learning about the creative processes of the world’s number one storyteller. Suitable for Years 2 to 8, these sessions are invaluable in developing children’s positive attitudes to reading and writing, as well as supporting you in teaching your pupils to draft, edit and evaluate. “It’s easy to say ‘use your imagination’ but this has given me the tools to do that” School Teacher Find out more at roalddahlmuseum.org/ schools-and-groups 3 Make your mark Introducing the new YPO whiteboard markers – refillable, reusable and remarkable, to help keep every lesson flowing so you can make your mark – lesson, after lesson, after lesson.

Plus, they’re made from 90% recycled plastic, which saves 76 tonnes of plastic from going to landfill each year – thus enabling your school to do even more to help protect our planet.
