Teaching resources
Whether you invite me to visit your school or not (and I hope you do!) you may find some resources on this web site useful for teaching.
You may use the first chapter of each of The Greenwich Chronicles for free, subject to conditions that are published on the relevant pages for The Time Wreccas and The Time Apprentice.
You, or more probably your pupils, may like to explore the pages of fun and games.
National Centre for Language and Literacy
You'll find all sorts of useful stuff at The National Centre for Language and Literacy website .

A Time Wreccas comprehension sheet has appeared on the Primary Resources website. Well done Wendy Irvine for contributing to the site. It's good isn't it, Wendy?
