 Storynory presents The Fire-Fly Princess read by Elizabeth- duration 12.32.

Text is available on the Storynory site.   To hear the story: Click the following link:

The Fire-Fly Princess 

is a glittering beauty, and numerous insects want to be her husband. She has little interest in any of them, and declares that she will only marry the one who brings her a flame. This glittering story is full of the beauty of old Japan.

And we are delighted to introduce the very talented Elizabeth Donnelly, who joins Natasha and Richard as a narrator for Storynory. And for all those who have been asking us for news of Natasha, she will be very soon reading more chapters of Alice Through the Looking Glass.

2CK's Tooth Fairies

 Tooth Tally International Project

The first task was for the children to draw what they think the 2010 tooth fairy looks like after listening to the set description.  All of the children from the 240 schools that are participating in this project took part in this activity and then are sharing on the wiki.
It is a private wiki  so I can't share all the picture with you but I can share these.

Finally I have 2CK's Tooth Fairies for you to enjoy.

Over the years many teachers have contributed to the bank of  Lesson Ideas .

**NEW**
Interactive Tooth Tally Notebook for IWBs and Smartboards. Graphs and lots of interactive activities.are also available on the lesson ideas page.

Teachers need to know how to screenshot too! 5 Steps to Online Safety

5 Steps to Internet Safety -Being able to take a screen capture is a very important skill for teachers. If inappropriate material is found it really helps if teachers can illustrate the material to facilitate the process of  blocking the site quickly. In the event of an error having a screen shot allows the IT help technicians to focus on the exact problem which helps to speed up the process of repairing the problem.
