Talking poo A lion’s whiffy whoppers come in handy, too – lions use them to mark out their territory. They smear the black, sticky stuff onto trees, bushes and rocks to tell other lions ‘Back off, this is my stinky pad!’
w?
Did you kno
lions scary, Not only are Some so is their poo! in their people put it en off garden to fright foxes! and cats stic dome
The lion king (of poo) So, how do lions make such super-stinky poo? It’s all down to the amount of meat they eat. A male lion eats about seven kilograms of meat (about 27 burgers) each day. That’s a lot of meat! Poo from meat-eating animals is always much stinkier than poo from plant-eating animals, so when you think about the amount of meat that goes into a lion’s tummy, it’s no surprise that their poopy piles are Top of the Plops!

Big Cats climb trees to hide from other animals or to hunt for food. Leopards sometimes store their prey in trees to keep it away from other animals. A leopard will often leave its prey up in the tree for days and return only when it is hungry!
Of all the big cats, leopards are the strongest climbers.

WHAT DO I SEE ALL WH
MY NOTES...
I’m m alwa always looking all around me for fashion style inspiration – what do I see? What can I discover? What can I learn? Whenever I leave home I am sharp-eyed for the new, the different, the changes everywhere – I notice everything and I record the discoveries and what inspires me. The things I observe on my street or from my bus; the things I discover in shop windows, or in the shapes of buildings. I look up and down, not just straight ahead – at the glider and the plane, the cloud shapes and the birds, the flowers in the tubs, the drawings on the pavements. I notice all these things.

Andrew Brodie Andrew Brodie was a head teacher for twelve years after many successful years in the primary classroom. He began writing his bestselling educational books in 1992 and since then has established himself as a name that teachers have come to trust. He is still very much involved in education and continues to teach on a regular basis.
Thank you for looking at my section of the A & C Black catalogue. I hope that you will like the books that you find in here. Some of my titles are workbooks that children can use at home. These books cover literacy and maths and include practice activities for mental maths, tables, spelling and handwriting. I have taken great care to match the activities to the appropriate levels of work that the children will be following at school, allowing parents to feel confident that they are providing their children with worthwhile educational materials. Most of my range consists of teachers’ resource books. As I am a school governor and I still teach on a regular basis I am very familiar with the demands placed on teachers. My aim is to write materials featuring activities that teachers can use straight away in their classrooms with minimum preparation. Teachers’ notes appear unobtrusively to make clear the purpose of each activity, enabling the teacher to delegate the delivery of the work to classroom assistants if they wish to. New titles to look out for in 2013 include the Improving Vocabulary series. All the activities in Improving Vocabulary are specifically designed to promote pupils’ knowledge and use of an exciting variety of words in their speaking and listening, reading and writing. In each book, the vocabulary has been carefully selected to be appropriate to the age group and to progress in level of difficulty. The worksheets are differentiated at three levels to be used by individuals or small groups working with an adult. Later in the year sees the publication of the new Improving Problem Solving Skills series. This set of books will follow the format of the hugely successful Improving Comprehension books: in each of its fifteen units an introductory page will provide a realistic setting or event followed by three differentiated worksheets featuring mathematical ‘problems’. I hope you find the books that you need but do let us know if there are other titles that you would like to see developed. Best wishes, Andrew Brodie

Tales from the Headâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Room
Edited by Margaret Sangster
Mike Kent
Beyond technical skills and knowledge, teachers and student teachers face questions which challenge their beliefs and approaches to their teaching and learning. This book contains a series of short articles which encourage you to reflect on your own practice and challenge your beliefs about how and what you teach.
This collection of articles from Mike Kent's popular weekly column in the TES covers a whole range of amusing incidents about daily life in a busy London primary school. From the fire officer who called the children's display work 'hazardous wall substances', to the class that caused the alarm to go off at Hampton Court and the burglar who stayed to play with a train set, Mike's anecdotes chronicle the trials and tribulations of modern primary headship. 1BQFSCBDL t Y NN t QQ t ÂŁ14.99
Essential reading for those training to teach children aged between 3 and 11, as well as practising teachers looking to develop their practice. )BSECBDL t Y NN t QQ t ÂŁ65.00 1BQFSCBDL t Y NN t QQ t ÂŁ19.99
