History: The new and very realistic Anderson Shelter

Gone are the days of 'Chalk and Talk'... endless lessons of listening to the teacher and sitting in the classroom facing that lovely, exciting stimulus - the blackboard!

Today, creative, multi sensory teaching brings the curriculum to life. Children are taught through experiences: visits, speakers, hands on teaching, which appeal to different learners, be it the visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner. Learning through a variety of methods helps to bring the curriculum alive and proven research suggests that we remember more if we experience these things through reading, hearing, seeing, saying and doing. Cross curricular links also help bring relevance to the curriculum.
