1. Created by Helen Weeks, The Tynings School Dick Bateman, SBL

2. This programme was trialled by Helen Weeks and Dick Bateman at The Tynings School with Year 5 pupils. • Here are some ideas for how to use it: • Selected pupils speak the words in the bubbles • Pupils say the countries and capitals on slide 5 and then answer the prompts on slide 6. • Use interactively on any slide by asking pupils to come out and write nouns on the whiteboard for features (building) and adjectives to describe the nouns (lovely, brown, scruffy). The class can then discuss and rank order, then write up a description of the slide. • Use slides (sensitively) to compare Nigerian places and ways of life with ours. • Good luck.
