About the January 2008 issue

Happy New Year! Why not start 2008 by checking out our bumper issue of Child Education PLUS, bursting with great classroom resources to support your teaching.

This month in Child Education PLUS we have gone absolutely castle crazy! Castles is such a fun topic for young children and one that is thankfully making a popular return to schools. As well as a bumper six-page project in the magazine, we have a linking A2 poster (with a special interactive version online!) and a buyers’ guide. A real medieval feast, I’m sure you’ll agree!

Choo Choo! Is that the time train I hear? It’s okay, I haven’t been at the mulled wine again – I’m referring to our latest exclusive online resource! Pack your bags, don your sunhat and hop aboard for a trip to the Victorian seaside.

Finally, to coincide with the centenary of Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows we have an exclusive poster (both in print and online) and linking activities – everything you need to explore the delightful characters and settings of this classic tale.

Can’t find a resource? Don’t forget that previous month’s articles, worksheets and posters are still available. You will find these in our archive. All you have to do is type a relevant keyword into our search engine (on the right) to locate and access these. When you find something you like, and you’re a subscriber, you can save it to your personal folder. It makes keeping track of all our online goodies much easier!
