This is a favourite pack in our home, my child loves to know what events happened in the past and is a great daily prompt to learn something we may not have thought about.
I've been using this On This Day Pack all year. We do it every morning and if I miss it out the children remind me that we haven't done it.
The class and I love it. They love finding out things that have happened especially if it is their birthday.
I love the fact that it sparks discussion about the event, covers a bit of history, it is helping with reading comprehension, the children are volunteering to read it out to the class and some love working out how long ago things happened.
A brilliant pack. Thank you.
My classes and I have always enjoyed this pack as it provides a very wide range of general knowledge. Thank you
Love this pack. A great start to the day with a quick history/ fact for the day. The tasks are engaging for the students. We are all learning new and interesting snippets from the past. A great variety of topics and from across the curriculum.
This pack has become a great start to the day, settling the class, choosing someone to read and then randomly see who has been listening to answer the questions, awesome pack thanks
I have just started using this excellent resource to kick start my literacy block.
We orally read as a class. Discuss. Pick out words for vocab work. Use it for grammar to pick out nouns, verbs etc. Use it for tense. How can we change the tense of this piece of writing? We use it to practise our cursive writing by copying as much of it as we can it 10 minutes. Next we use the comprehension activities and I sometimes even add a few of my own. Complete at least one of the activities. Early finishers can try more. The list goes on. It has taken us on many a YouTube/google journey to answer questions that may arise.
Many of my students consider it the best part of the day, so thanks for your fantastic effort. It is the resource that I now use the most.
I was also happy to see a couple of Australian events mentioned too. Have you considered doing an Australian version?
Thanks again
I've only had a quick look but it seems amazing. My mind boggles at the amount of research that must have gone into it. As you say it can be used in so many different ways. Also I appreciate that it includes 365 days when you could easily have left out August or other obvious holidays.
Brilliant brilliant, love it, love it - so do my Year 5's.
I downloaded the On This Day Pack. It is an amazing resource! I have a small SEND unit attached to a mainstream school and pupils have a daily literacy/numeracy lesson. We have used the Daily Facts every day for the last week as there are literacy and numeracy questions and activities. As we have 80% boys, the content is extremely appropriate, they loved designing their own football strip - used as an incentive to complete the written tasks.
If you haven't downloaded it, do it now! There are so many uses including history, science and English. Thank you very much indeed.
Amazing! I use it as warm up activity for my social science lessons!
