Based on Beverley Naidoo’s award-winning book, this project is inspirational. Ideal for Year 5 or 6 in the last half of the summer term. It is a cross-curricular project and you can read more here.

Refugee Boy
Benjamin Zephaniah may often be thought of as poet. In this book, Refugee Boy, he writes a powerful, moving and challenging story. As above, it is a cross-curricular project and you can see what we did here. Suitable for Year 6 upwards.

Mary Anning
A wonderful project for Year 4 upwards. Really engages children in key historical enquiry questions and links well with literacy at various points.

"I loved meeting the children at Woodberry Down and experiencing their enthusiasm about reading a story that reflected something of the world they know. The quality of their work around The Other Side of Truth is outstanding! The way the children have engaged with
the novel so creatively and thoughtfully is also a tribute to the way their teachers
have ‘led’ them into the story through such a lively cross-curricular approach.
How I would have loved to join them on their ‘detective’ journey from Victoria Station to the ‘London College of Art’ on the Number 36 Bus!" Beverley Naidoo

"The work looks amazing... Congratulations on such a really exciting piece of curriculum work.... This is really interesting work for all sorts of reasons - both the content
focus and the pedagogical approaches used with the pupils that has such
an effect on their achievements. I would like to contact you again re
your work and how we might use it - whether
as an example or as a link to the
excellent material on your
school site.

"We were really impressed by the breadth of the work that the pupils had done and the high standards of work they produced. " Natural History Museum

"Major Taylor’s remarkable story really grips youngsters and opens their eyes to a significant period in history. We're delighted to see new
life breathed into Major Taylor's legacy. These lesson plans offer
effective teaching tools to build students’ skills for discovering
and thinking critically about the life and times of the 1899
world cycling champion, who faced powerful racial
prejudice. The materials on young car racer Lewis
Hamilton help make the history relevant
to today’s world."
