Hello my name is Kelly and I am a Year 4 teacher from the UK. I blog over at the <a href="https://thedaylightexplorer.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Daylight Explorers</a> and I am reallyy excited to be here on the Global Glitter Tribe blog. I love books. I love sharing books with the pupils I teach. I love sharing books with fellow teachers. So it is with great excitement that I share some wonderful picture books that help us explore our wonderful world.</div>
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span>Firstly an absolutely charming wordless picture book called 'The Chicken Thief' by Beatrice Rodriguez. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">This book was originally published in France and can be used by pupils of all ages. I love the way it gets children thinking about stereotypes and I think it is a great text for developing storytelling with pupils. Rabbit, Chicken and Bear live in the forest when one day Fox kidnaps Chicken! The rest of the story follows the pursuit and eventual resolution. It is a lovely story which develops the children's skills of using inference and deduction. </span><br />
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span>The next text I want to share is 'The Arrival' by Shaun Tan.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-rP4n1DR50kFcMXtGVwG6vCPFU4oXWjG2CV80OKjDWSmWLKns-Njf42CErcKaQVs5YEUL8vo5dq7hew3S3c1z5_vr0DE16jm0NuvLsUncUePhMvuzmVV9NI81w2mdGeHAZSAy8gkwwxQ/s1600/Copy+of+20160111_121919.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-rP4n1DR50kFcMXtGVwG6vCPFU4oXWjG2CV80OKjDWSmWLKns-Njf42CErcKaQVs5YEUL8vo5dq7hew3S3c1z5_vr0DE16jm0NuvLsUncUePhMvuzmVV9NI81w2mdGeHAZSAy8gkwwxQ/s320/Copy+of+20160111_121919.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span> 'The Arrival' is a migrant story told as a series of wordless images in a graphic novel. The pictures are stunning and tell the story of a man who leaves his family in an impoverished town to emigrate to a new land. Each picture examines a different part of his story, the places he goes and the people he meets. This is a moving story that will allow you and the class to explore a wide range of issues linked to immigration. </span></div>
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span>My next books gets children thinking about the world as a village. In 'If the World Were a Village' by David J. Smith and Shelagh Armstrong the reader gets to explore the world as if it were of a village of 100 people. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdyMiQlSpK8w_NGO6e5ut1SYDDnM5b0EGU7U2dSBbVlMuYgtr3gmy-U4mEZGoyioJ8-gxSzeXjAoikPhjsPmxgiH5Gk4Bdpjx9g6SlOSyz5u4wjOpOe5E1js_XMDkjlPbtzPAH-DsoOuY/s1600/Copy+of+20160111_121845.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdyMiQlSpK8w_NGO6e5ut1SYDDnM5b0EGU7U2dSBbVlMuYgtr3gmy-U4mEZGoyioJ8-gxSzeXjAoikPhjsPmxgiH5Gk4Bdpjx9g6SlOSyz5u4wjOpOe5E1js_XMDkjlPbtzPAH-DsoOuY/s320/Copy+of+20160111_121845.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span>I love the idea of this story. It is very hard for children to imagine the world as a whole but when you imagine it is a village of 100 people it starts to become easier for children to understand. For example of the 100 people in the global village: 61 are from Asia, 13 are from Africa, 12 are from Europe, 8 are from South America, Central America (including Mexico) and the Caribbean, 5 are from Canada and the US and 1 is from Oceania (an area that include Australia, New Zealand and the islands of the south, west and central Pacific). I have taught lots of children who will love the numbers involved in this very engaging presentation of a global village. </span></div>
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span>'At the Beach: Postcards from Crabby Spit' is an Australian picture book by Roland Harvey that was introduced to me at a local Literacy conference. I immediately fell in love with the illustrations and the way the story is told through a series of postcards. You know you can get those books that cause children to pore over the illustrations to find every single detail? Well this is one of those books. Children will love the humour and the challenge to find a multitude of objects hidden within the pages. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIEw5pAy6LUBZ03mvosgnakKZ75BjUYwMO8Y5ToXbR3qSoLrcU8-Q_ZNQkkdPNv79Q-LK62sYcLWxmoBdwgJzQ8lMpsyW-QE0WcsT4smGW886E80XbrH3DZRc4HkZggIbfPWtOByoFKY0/s1600/Copy+of+20160111_121739.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIEw5pAy6LUBZ03mvosgnakKZ75BjUYwMO8Y5ToXbR3qSoLrcU8-Q_ZNQkkdPNv79Q-LK62sYcLWxmoBdwgJzQ8lMpsyW-QE0WcsT4smGW886E80XbrH3DZRc4HkZggIbfPWtOByoFKY0/s320/Copy+of+20160111_121739.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span>Finally comes a story by Mitsumasa and Masaichiro Anno from Japan called 'Anno's Mysterious Multiplying Jar' which is a great book for those mathematically minded among you. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8UbozHgxNw-1Ohqmh5sP1MWKxYQkBCaakDcrgE0W8aLgKeZ5agDarbr3MOjJ2l1AafWfjIXO86ZF9iCfHXFcPEtoqCPfna61TKKIk9j4P3jZ8HyNaIln9Z6V096BuaUqts3ALzgMcol8/s1600/Copy+of+20160111_121655.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8UbozHgxNw-1Ohqmh5sP1MWKxYQkBCaakDcrgE0W8aLgKeZ5agDarbr3MOjJ2l1AafWfjIXO86ZF9iCfHXFcPEtoqCPfna61TKKIk9j4P3jZ8HyNaIln9Z6V096BuaUqts3ALzgMcol8/s320/Copy+of+20160111_121655.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span>The simple text and illustrations tell the story of factorials and is great for talking about multiplication. I am a big believer in using books across the curriculum and I think this is a great addition to any Maths lesson.</span></div>
<div>
<span> </span></div>
<div>
<span><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div>
<span>Thank you for reading about this small selection of books from across the world. It would be wonderful if we could build up a list of recommended books so please do share in the comments!</span></div>

It's Suzy Palmer from <a href="http://onthegoteachermama.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">On the Go Teacher Mama</a> and I am beyond thrilled to be the blog admin this month. I was thinking about how I'm a global teacher and I realized that because of technology we all can be global teachers! I've done Skype book projects with classrooms in other places, "met" teachers via social media from all over the world, shared resources with people in other states and countries, and this is all because of technology. We live in an exciting time and our world is shrinking because of the connections we can easily make with people from other cultures around the world.<br />
<br />
Technology is amazing and changing faster than we can keep up with. In the past 5ish years I have added an interactive whiteboard, 24 iPads, 5 student computers, 2 laptops and a desktop computer to my classroom. I have had to learn how to use each piece of equipment, teach my students how to use it, and then take it to the next level. I have learned some major lessons along the way that I'd like to share with you.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUkNRmUNwC_zJQI6K8WpZlV3oEMQe6iUWgWEBscmSJyqb49pPgcY24SO1VWjn5LveJZhTu01pmy2ko7W34_JX2YvL5ZNy8wA-vxBGJSleM0qKqOzn6FTOgHu3NCBBsiETiKhzX4mnuu1kG/s1600/Slide1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUkNRmUNwC_zJQI6K8WpZlV3oEMQe6iUWgWEBscmSJyqb49pPgcY24SO1VWjn5LveJZhTu01pmy2ko7W34_JX2YvL5ZNy8wA-vxBGJSleM0qKqOzn6FTOgHu3NCBBsiETiKhzX4mnuu1kG/s400/Slide1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Don't even start to think that I am some kind of tech genius or something. I'm not. However, what sets me apart from other teachers is my fearlessness. I'm not afraid to TOUCH ALL THE BUTTONS to figure things out. I'm not afraid to try new apps or programs. I'm not afraid to ask for what I want or need. I'm not afraid to lose control of my classroom and put the learning back in the hands of the students. Stepping out of your comfort zone is how you learn and grow.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX5CiTC06HFJsPH5lRzG6AXWHhUSqpCuL4-9xl4-ktmeQhiwzfnDi9Cs_8Zv5-6J0CTsRmbgjo-ci6J1XwjyO4HvtxpzFCma8WGkajcBAb3hJI1K4o6tGYMgKdLeNoKX2XWH9IWG_GmuVe/s1600/Slide1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX5CiTC06HFJsPH5lRzG6AXWHhUSqpCuL4-9xl4-ktmeQhiwzfnDi9Cs_8Zv5-6J0CTsRmbgjo-ci6J1XwjyO4HvtxpzFCma8WGkajcBAb3hJI1K4o6tGYMgKdLeNoKX2XWH9IWG_GmuVe/s400/Slide1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Technology is awesome but things will go wrong, be glitchy, or crash. The internet will go out sometimes. That app will have too many ads or in-app purchases and will distract your students. You will screw up. I promise it will be ok. Your students will still love you, BUT you should always have a backup plan.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubQMLzWcH-eWFnGtdQp5mo5AprGK89hp5TvVgtU_EZl53-1I9c2YoRSHA7FOq78V_Q98cD647GXQ8Gp5xWaZe2QyPi3ECmWzXb904xQVW0e-9xiefnMqT-M9sgELra1qBp1YJT1y9uVJa/s1600/Slide2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubQMLzWcH-eWFnGtdQp5mo5AprGK89hp5TvVgtU_EZl53-1I9c2YoRSHA7FOq78V_Q98cD647GXQ8Gp5xWaZe2QyPi3ECmWzXb904xQVW0e-9xiefnMqT-M9sgELra1qBp1YJT1y9uVJa/s400/Slide2.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
The next lesson I have learned the hard way. We're busy planning, prepping, grading, collecting data, dealing with parents/admin/colleagues/behavior problems and it is so tempting to just give the kids that awesome new app everyone is talking about. Or, your lesson zoomed and you need to fill a few minutes, so just show a quick youtube video about your topic. Maybe your students are doing research and you want to show them how to do a google search on your interactive whiteboard. As much as you want to just go for it, you always, always, always need to preview the content, apps, videos, and sites you give students. Take a few extra minutes and play with the apps. PUSH ALL THE BUTTONS! Watch the whole video. Always freeze your interactive white board while you search or go to any site you aren't 100% sure of. Check things out for yourself. A colleague of mine was teaching about 3-D shapes and used Google to search for rectangular prisms. She didn't freeze her screen first and what popped up? Boobs. She was mortified and in those situations you just can't move fast enough to get that off the giant screen in front of your precious students' faces. Lesson learned.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizPBVQlamTogB1VBBXwv_Zewx12BAJnZspR_wtS0eOmVmYeIPBmWfck0M15FnbkykP8nC6opnxSg0E5zoBPKK-f5l5GWf8XS7qMJgQITLOIShRiLI86FXKJA4pPx5nfk1gXqFhrYIxlOEs/s1600/Slide3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizPBVQlamTogB1VBBXwv_Zewx12BAJnZspR_wtS0eOmVmYeIPBmWfck0M15FnbkykP8nC6opnxSg0E5zoBPKK-f5l5GWf8XS7qMJgQITLOIShRiLI86FXKJA4pPx5nfk1gXqFhrYIxlOEs/s400/Slide3.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
The last lesson is about persistence and problem solving. You will encounter problems with technology right in the middle of your lesson. Don't freak out! Don't give up! Don't panic! Take a deep breath, take a moment to work on the issue. Let your students see you work on the solution because that is an authentic learning moment for them too. When things aren't working perfectly I calmly ask my students to be patient while I try to fix it. I talk through it out loud so they can hear how a person tackles a problem. They need to have a model in their lives for working things out and not giving up. At the same time, you'll be tempted to immediately jump in and fix the problems on their devices for them. STOP! Show them how to fix something so you won't have to the next time. Train a couple of "expert" students to fix minor issues so kids will ask their peers for help instead. Teach your "experts" to show how to fix something and not do it for the other student. Allow them to work through their problems while asking guiding questions. Let them become the persistent problem solvers the world needs.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: center; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">It was really just
this year that I learned the value of making those connections with others…
outside of my comfortable, imperfect, little bubble! Social media, mainly <a href="https://www.instagram.com/islandloverteacher/">Instagram</a></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">, has brought some very special people into my life <see below for pics of those gorgeous faces>. And when I
think back, I never (No, really. NEVER.) dreamed of sharing my life with others
who I barely knew (ok, don’t know at all) nor become so intrigued by the lives
OF others. It was your typical mentality of #</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">aintnobodygottimeforthat</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">. Let’s face it, we’re all busy. I get it. I have a full-time career, a husband, 3 kids, family, and friends that I have loved for over 20+
years.</span><span style="font-family: 'kg seven sixteen'; letter-spacing: 3pt;">However, I
couldn’t feel more grateful for falling into that Social Media hole and opening
my heart and social media doors to everyone (Well, almost everyone. #saynotocreepers). My life
has forever changed… in and out of the classroom.</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">Lurking around </span><span style="font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/islandloverteacher/">Instagram</a>, I found that there are thousands of talented educators who
were sharing their “</span><span style="font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">amazingness</span><span style="font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">” with </span><span style="font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">little</span><span style="font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">ol</span><span style="font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">’ me! I mean, people were giving away freebies for goodness
sakes! What-the-what?! As an educator, how do you not take advantage of gaining
more knowledge, extra time to now do something else because someone has handed
you a product that would’ve taken you hours to create?! Hello? Did you hear
me?! Time is priceless and people are handing it to me on a silver platter
(with maybe some polka-dots, chevron, and cute font)! I mean… #</span><span style="font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">icanteven</span><span style="font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">. <sideline: I
love </span><span style="font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">hashtags</span><span style="font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">. Get used to it.> Responding, appreciating, “liking”, and
simply making those connections on social media has made me a better educator
for each and every one of my students. Because no matter what anyone says… it
IS all about them. Arming them with all of the resources, knowledge, and heart
to live a happy and good life is our ultimate goal! Despite what is going on in
your personal life and relationships with other colleagues, the sight of this goal should never be lost. So, it became clear that I needed to “make the time
for that.” The vibe and passion in my classroom now is ever-so-present and
palpable. Thank you, social media.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">Then came <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Island-Lover-Teacher">TPT</a></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1637268006508049/">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/1islandlover">Twitter</a></span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">, <a href="https://katch.me/1islandlover/v/52010f49-cad5-3fea-b18b-0f027af07d33">Periscope</a>, <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/hangouts">Google Hangouts</a>, </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">Voxer</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">, and <a href="https://blab.im/1islandlover">BLAB</a>. Most
of us screamed, “</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">Noooo</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">, not one more! No more! I can’t!” And then it became, “Oh.
Wait, what?! Real-time? I can see, talk to you?! </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">Ummm</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">,wait... you have an
accent?! You’re going through the same <strike>crap</strike> hardships as me?” Before I knew it,
people from all over the world were joining together to share ideas about
building their </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">edu</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">-empire, classroom management, technology in the classrooms,
troubled students, stress management, keeping healthy, stretching out your dollar
<because we is teachers and we is broke>, and your product sucks, but let me
tell you why… the list is endless. You will always find at least one topic that
you can connect with another person on. Always. Teacher communities are popping
up all over the place! Besties are being made! Voices are being heard! Educators are being supported!
Students are thriving! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/happyclassrooms?src=hash">Happy Classrooms!</a> Happy teachers! We are teachers, hear
us ROAR!!!! </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">Ahhh</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">. Who the heck cannot find the value in making connections?! </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">
</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: left; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">Well, if I haven’t
convinced you of the importance and value of making those connections with
the outside world yet, </span><s style="text-line-through: single;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">I’m stunned,</span></s><span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;"> listen up, because the best part is coming… Making
connections with others will surprisingly bring people into your life that you
could never imagine living without. I’m pretty keen on what is going on around
me and what will happen next (because I like to think that I know just about
everything. What?! I do! Ask my husband.) However, I NEVER suspected that I
would meet people from online, all over the world, and pray each night that God keeps them
forever safe and healthy, for fear that my heart couldn’t endure such
heartbreak. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'kg seven sixteen'; letter-spacing: 3pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'kg seven sixteen'; letter-spacing: 3pt;">Some I have never met in person….</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'kg seven sixteen'; letter-spacing: 3pt;">Yup. I’ve. Fallen.
Hard. Having groups of people, communities, constantly telling me, “You can do
it! Don’t listen to them! Try this! I love you!” is mind-blowing.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "kg seven sixteen"; letter-spacing: 3pt;">Putting yourself
out there, making meaningful relationships with others, will bring you the
greatest of surprises that you never thought imaginable. Your life may seem as
if it is crumbling down all around you, but “those people” that you once
“replied to”, “followed”, or simply “liked” have a knack for glimmering that
sliver of light into your path that you were too blind to see on your own. The
funny part, they have no idea of how they’ve blessed your life. No clue. I find
that amusing. And it’s always the most clueless that make the biggest of
impacts. Juggling that humbleness and greatness is no easy feat, people! They
make their way into your heart in the most heart-skipping-beat kind of way.
You. Will. Be. Amazed.</span><br />

Hi guys, it's Laura from <a href="http://year2tastic.blogspot.co.uk/">year2tastic</a> here.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://year2tastic.blogspot.co.uk/"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivfb-p4XKSc7Zw1uuV4VDd0LBm6SFo67j1ehrfaia5Gn0Z3I4Z3SvDQY1-QsAtZWfk0bJiwAqB-cqvEn9pnSHbP3WZ6mcuSImbaAG7vOIvjxszWL77gWsoxmqajsYp45fa0jW7ER_Hfr_u/s200/year2tastic+button.png" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
I hope you are all well?<br />
I'm the blog admin this month and I am bursting to share with you a fantastic teaching idea I use with my class of 6 and 7 year olds!<br />
<br />
Are you increasingly being asked to teach younger and younger children about being Global Citizens?<br />
It's a huge part of the New National Curriculum here in the UK and, in an area like mine, it is crucial that children begin to appreciate their place in the grand scheme of things and how they can have an impact on others.<br />
<br />
This half term we have been exploring the question 'What's on your plate?' </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 3 aims of this Learning Challenge are-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1) develop an understanding of where the food the children eat comes from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) expand their understanding of how to eat a healthy, balanced diet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3) develop an understanding of Fair Trade</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To achieve the first aim we visit a local farm and the children get to identify crops growing in the fields, harvest potatoes and onions and taste apples collected from the orchard.<br />
<br />
After this we visit a local supermarket and find the same products for sale there. The children begin to develop their understanding of the chain food travels along before it reaches their plate.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I turn my Role-play area into a Farm Shop with real produce for the children to sell-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQtghBA0UA2dOqxKXblUBONP6JmA-agg8sqPOvEwm3p_UNKNaN3uEE8R_dRRQpMSx-cMoA9ixIR6ct4mGmSKI4sFWAPO3mDx6M1z9eogYTsCID2R8KkLIdGTl0YfPGEsq1K8dYjbf_wDWf/s1600/FarmShopBoys.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQtghBA0UA2dOqxKXblUBONP6JmA-agg8sqPOvEwm3p_UNKNaN3uEE8R_dRRQpMSx-cMoA9ixIR6ct4mGmSKI4sFWAPO3mDx6M1z9eogYTsCID2R8KkLIdGTl0YfPGEsq1K8dYjbf_wDWf/s320/FarmShopBoys.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To work towards the second aim we build on our P.E. work and talk about a healthy life style. Children take part in several activities to find out what it is that makes food healthy or unhealthy, sort them into a food pyramid and then plan a healthy, balanced meal. This work continues throughout the children's time in our school and is strengthened during Design Technology cooking projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To achieve the third aim with 6 year olds who don't have the most economically stable lives themselves is filled with a few more stumbling blocks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How can I tell these children who often come to school without having breakfast, whose homes don't have carpet down, whose cupboards are often empty that they are lucky? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How can I tell the child whose parents drink and scream and shout at one another until 3am that they are lucky? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How can I demonstrate that even though you have no heating or electric but having a tap you can turn on to get water even though it will only be cold water for a few days until the meter is topped up means you are lucky? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Part of raising a child's sense of global awareness also means raising their self awareness too and to children like some of those I teach it means pointing out the things in their lives which are unfair and valuing their struggle too. The amazing thing is, it is usually these children who grasp the concept of Fair Trade first. I don't know why this is- perhaps they have a keener sense of justice? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I usually start of by unpicking the term Fair Trade and ensuring all children know what we mean by trade. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We go through a Power Point from FairTrade.org to demonstrate the negative side of trade and discuss if this is fair. This activity also highlights the difference between my children's life styles and that of children in other countries whom we deem to be less fortunate than us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I use a practical activity to further accentuate the concept. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have 4 children up at the front of the class, I give them role labels of 'Farmer' 'Distributor' 'Supermarket' and 'Buyer'- I know there are more links in the chain than this but for 6 year old, 4 is enough! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then give some play dough to the farmer and ask them to shape it into a banana, some small coffee beans or rice which they then pass along the chain to the Supermarket.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The buyer has 12 mini marshmallows (it can be anything really we just like them) and they hand 10 over to the Supermarket who in turn hands 6 to the distributer who hands 2 to the farmer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The children watching are always quick to comment on the unfairness of this and always, always insist the farmer should have the most because they did all of the hard work. We then discus the notion that the supermarket and distributers have peoples wages to pay and need to make a profit so they are unwilling to give the farmer more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After this we watch a short video from <a href="http://www.oxfam.org.uk/education/global-citizenship">OXFAM</a> about how Fair Trade works and give the chain another go. This time to Buyer 'pays' all 12 mini marshmallows for the produce, the store still keeps 4 and so does the distributer but this time the farmer also gets 4- the children are always much happier this time around and see the process as being much more fair. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I finish off the session by showing the price difference between Fair Trade produce and non Fair Trade produce in some of our local supermarkets and explain to the children that even though it is only a few pence difference, to some people in our communities those pennies are still very important so we can go home and explain about Fair Trade but not hassle our parents to buy Fair Trade.<br />
<br />
I try to stress that if you can you should because I am very conscious that some of our children's families are only just making ends meet themselves. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love exploring this concept with such little minds- they are full of questioning and righteousness that it makes sense to start developing their awareness of the world around them- just and unjust!<br />
<br />
Thanks so much for stopping by<br />

</div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Technology has changed the world’s landscape. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">“In a 21st century world where jobs can be shipped wherever there’s an Internet connection ... a child born in Dallas is now competing with a child in New Delhi.” - <a href="http://asiasociety.org/education/policy-initiatives/national-initiatives/president-obama-calls-american-education-system-al" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-out; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0083a9; cursor: pointer; outline: 0px; transition: all 0.2s ease-out;" target="_blank">President Barack Obama</a></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">As teachers, educators and mentors, we need to prepare students for a world where borders between continents are blurred, where companies will be formed over the Internet and where learning about other cultures in classrooms will be as ubiquitous as learning to read. </span></div>
<div class="p1" style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10.5px;">
<span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">To illustrate the urgency of teaching global education in your classroom, we have gathered seven statistics that just might surprise you:</span></div>
<ol style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10.5px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Sixty percent of secondary students ranked </b><span class="s2" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">understanding different cultures</b></span><b style="box-sizing: border-box;"> the most important subject area, ahead of writing skills and math skills. </b></span>As technology makes our world more accessible, and because classrooms are increasingly diverse, students recognize the need to understand the cultures of others, as well as their own.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Nearly all (98 percent) of students in a </b><span class="s2" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">recent survey</b></span><b style="box-sizing: border-box;"> agreed that a strong understanding of world history and events is critical to developing solutions to a global problem. </b></span>Students are interested in being better global citizens. Learning about world events in the classroom allows them to study the past in order to change the future.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="s3" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="s4" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Research shows</b></span></span><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;"> that students who learn about global issues are more than twice as likely to see the importance of personally taking social action. </b></span>Global learning encourages awareness and critical thinking about issues such as poverty, climate change, religious and cultural differences, world trade and politics.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span class="s1" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">Nine out of 10 students, teachers and industry leaders recognize that </b><span class="s2" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">jobs are becoming increasingly international</b></span><b style="box-sizing: border-box;">. </b></span>There is broad understanding that globalization results in companies that are more diverse than ever before.</li>
