10 Things I Should Talk About Should I Attend The Caithness 'Stepping Stones' Drop In

10.A Happy Day Outside
I talked about this story to Brunia, and she said that she loved the imagery of a beautiful Spring day and the bond shared between Furaha and her siblings through the meadow, forest, hills, stream and lake. The emphasis on siblings spending quality time together is heartwarming, and the story is charming and wholesome.
9.Snarf In The Creek trailer
In this trailer, Snarf and Snarfette share a tender moment on a tree branch in the creek, set to music from the Hermes Amazone commercial from France. It adds a sweet and charming touch, plus the music adds a nostalgic vibe to the imagery.
8.The Secret Valley - Google Classroom
In this lesson, students listen to The Secret Valley, which stars Cheese and his best friend Orko, before searching up some images to inspire them on what the secret valley may look like. They then head back to do some drawings of the valley through the eyes of either Cheese or Orko. It's a great way to help students think critically about the details featured in the story.
7.Plenty Of Hugs: Fairytale
Remember that episode of Bluey when Bandit talked about his childhood in the '80s? Yep, that. I told my good friend Brunia about it, and she responded by saying that the story collection has a set of unique and special friendships, and uses the friendship between Cheese and Cream and their friends Orko and Optimus Prime to illustrate the importance of friendship and support during challenges or moments of joy. It mixes emotional connections and nostalgic charm, capturing the essence of friendship and companionship in the '80s era and including themes of loyalty, support and understanding.
6.The Tooth Fairy Game.
I was going to plan this for Tooth Fairy Day, but Brunia was concerned about me using the PE hall for this game and inclusivity in students. Who cares if she's like Marlin or Mei's mum sometimes, it's still a really good idea, as Towelie said in South Park.
5.Plenty Of Hugs: Popcorn For Breakfast.
Brunia said that this Plenty Of Hugs thing is a cosy and wholesome picture starring Furaha, Orko and Optimus that kids and adults can enjoy, promoting friendship and togetherness as well as incorporating daily activities like shopping with more exciting activities like escaping a tornado. Inspiration drawn from The Dingles, He Man and Transformers Armada gives a nostalgic and charming vibe to the collection.
4.Bluey Book Reads: The Creek
Hmmm...The Creek is not there at the moment. Not the place, but y'know, the Bluey Book Reads thingy, but I'll put it up tomorrow.
3.Use Your Head, Stop The Spread
Angry Kid is creepy, aimed for adults and slightly raunchy with off the wall, rude British humor, but using him for an NHS instructional video helping us raise awareness of HIV and the importance of being vaccinated would likely mean that Aardman had dreamed of collaborating with them in real time. Oi!
2.Tell A Fairy Tale Day Lesson
This lesson, which sees students write a story that stars themselves as a prince or princess with a modern twist, is inspired by the Dork Diaries book Once Upon A Dork, where Nikki gets hit in the face with a dodge ball and finds herself in a colourful fairy tale world. Sounds similar to Jody In Wonderland, doesn't it? Come to think of it, I believe this would be used for one of my future lessons. Just wait and see!
1.Ina.fr working again!
Well well well, I thought the French video website Ina wasn't working forever. NOT! It's working, it's working, and all we've got is you know who - not me, but God. Now I can watch the videos and listen to the charming music again. Thank god that's happening!
