This is a much loved book by one of Jenny's senior consultants. Margaret has gathered together 20 poems, written with a light-hearted touch, which introduce meaningful themes such as bullying, making fun, boasting, taking care of others' belongings etc. The poems are ideal for Literacy Hour, and can then provide the theme for the following Circle Time and other class work. Scripts and sage advice are given in a straightforward style, laced with humour and understanding.

Drama is an invaluable strand of circle meetings and these packs devised by Jeni Straughan will enhance and expand your ideas for Quality Circle Time sessions, whether or not you are experienced in drama. Jeni introduces the key elements of a progressive cross- curriculum approach and pre-empts the likely questions that teachers will ask, offering a 5-minute self-evaluation chart to review sessions and develop confidence. Each pack contains plans for 18 drama sessions divided into three main themes according to skill level. The packs are clear, the ideas fun and the framework is a great time saver for busy teachers who would like to use more integrated drama with circle time. The practical A5 ring binders have colour-coded sections and easy-to- remove pages.
