What is the origin of the word window, and what does it mean in Old Norse? Do we still use Vikings words in the English language today? I made this page for my students as part of our module on the Vikings in Britain.

A brief look at the nautical origins of the English language nursery rhyme 'Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick, Jack Jump Over the Candlestick'. Includes a free YouTube video and free, downloadable PDF file. This resource could be used by students with English as a foreign language, as part of a rhymes or poetry lesson, for World Oceans Day topics, or alongside any class themes about oceans, pirates, explorers, or the Caribbean. It may also be of use in a debate about women on ships, and the historical role of pregnancy in the legal system. May also be of interest to students learning about Yellow Fever, vaccinations, immune system, and effects of alcohol.

For use with ocean, animals, seaside, habitat, ecology, or environment topics.

A collection of photos of geology and rocks from around Great Britain. This resource will be added to in time.

I took these photos as I was writing my ‘Primary School Diaries’ novel, soon to be published on Amazon for ages 8 and up. As part of my planning I had stuck lots of post it notes on the wall to help me order my thoughts, and as I transferred the notes onto my computer, I scrunched each one up and threw it in a pile. The pile could look like failure, but to me it was a picture of success, or breaking down a big task into little bite size chunks, and the pile of screwed up paper growing as I achieved each little task. I hope these photos will inspire students with their own studying or challenges they face.

Photos from my time living with a Bedouin community in the desert of Wadi Rhum, Jordan. Taken on slide film, before digital cameras were invented. May be useful for exploring other countries and cultures and comparing life where you live and life in a desert environment.
