“Students were so engaged with this unit. We worked through several as a class as for year 5s many of the stories needed to be retold at a more accessible level. (Would be perfect for years 6+) However after becoming really familiar with the process, they were each given a story to explore in small groups. The precious little items in the kit were absolutely the hook that got them going! (Particularly the “real gold”!)”

“These resources are fantastic. They give you access to resources that you wouldn't have time to find as a classroom teacher. They are great provocations and spark excellent discussions allowing prior knowledge to come out in different ways and get students to ask questions.”
