What sport is this, what do you notice about the two people? What do you think this story is about? The photo shows Millie Colling and Emma Aalto (both 19 years old) who are competing in Finland this year in the ice dancing championship. What is ice dancing? There is something different about this championship - a rule has been changed this year to allow something for the first time.  What rule do you think has been changed? This year for the first time ever, skaters can compete in pairs that are the same gender. What does that mean? Millie says she and Emma are best friends that want to skate together. Usually skaters have to be a man and a woman but this year skaters can be called Skater A and Skater B. Why do you th...

They managed to raise funds to buy an old building 150 metres away but had to find a way of moving their 2000 books. How would a shop usually move 2000 books? The bookshop couldn't afford to rent a van so had to think of another idea. Looking at the picture, how do you think they moved the books?   The local community came to the rescue, lots of people turned up on the day and stood in a line stretching from the old shop to the new shop.  Once everyone was in the line, what did they do? A human chain from the old bookshop to the new bookshop passe...

Why is that a story? 8 year old Georgia is from Ipswich, UK and was shopping in Sainsbury's for trousers. She was shocked to find all the girls' trousers has fake pockets. What does fake mean? The pockets were all sewn up. It was like girls don't really need pockets. But when Georgia went in to the boys section, the pockets were real.  What do you think Georgia did? Georgia bought boys trousers instead. Is it ok for Georgia to wear boys clothes? Do girls need pockets? Do boys need pockets? Do you agree or disagree? Georgia wrote to Sainsbury's and received a reply thanking her for her letter and agreeing that girls needed pockets too. But the letter didn't say they would change the trousers. So Georgia started a petition at her school and sent it to Sainsburys. What is a pe...

                                            What do you see in this picture? What do you think it is about, what does it mean, why did someone create this art? This image was created by Fliss who is an artist at Fledgling Education.  What do you notice about the patterns on the schools? Do you recognise any of the patterns? Fliss used flags to make up the walls and windows in her schools.  What is a flag? Why do you think she used flags to make the walls of her school? Why didn't Fliss just use one flag? Fliss says, " I live my life in colour and this image is a celebration of that spirit. Can we continue to accept difference for the strength that it brings? It doesn’t have to divide us. Can we carry on shaping a future where every colour and culture has a place?” What does "Where every colour and culture has a place" mean? Do you recognise any of the flags? (the ...

They also won the Euros in 2022 and they are the first England team in football history to defend a major tournament title. What does that mean? How do you defend a title? When Chloe Kelly scored her wining goal, the speed of the ball was measured.  Can you guess how fast the ball went? Chloe Kelly's wining penalty was 110km/h. That's the fastest in the whole of the Euros 2025 but also faster than any goal in the premier league last season. According to TNT Sport...

  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czjem0vm8geo What do you see here? who do you think this is? what is their jo? There are clues in the picture to show what job they have. They are holding two things; one is about their job, the other is about the story here - which is which? This is Matt Smith, he is a butcher living in Clapham, London. What is a butcher, what does a butcher do? Which objects in the photo tells us Matt is a butcher? Why do you think Matt is holding a toy elephant? The elephant belongs to a three year old boy and it is his pride and joy. What does "his pride and joy" mean "? The boy dropped the elephant on a zebra crossing and didn't realise he had lost it till he got home. The boy's mum, Catherine, went out to search for the elephant but not find it. She posted a picture of the elephant online to ask if anyone has seen it. Matt had already found the elephant on the zebra crossing earlier that day and he put it in his shop window. Why didn...
