These six short lesson-starting videos are designed to enhance Key Stage 2 pupils' thinking skills and encourage creativity. This classroom resource encourages pupils to compare, contrast and evaluate information.
The videos are suitable for use with an interactive whiteboard. Help pupils learn to weigh up evidence, make deductions and anticipate the consequences of what they see on screen.
The videos vary in style and mood, but all aim to stimulate imaginations and each one ends with a question to generate discussion among a whole primary class, groups or pairs. The accompanying resources suggest classroom activities which can be used before or after viewing the videos.
All the videos are designed to be used as lesson starters for a range of curriculum areas, to warm up pupils' thinking skills.
