delivered a variety of courses for Lighthouse, Masterclass, and Creative

Inspirational Physical Education - A set of 6 CD-Roms
Inspirational Gymnastics for Key Stage 1
Inspirational Gymnastics for Key Stage 2
Inspirational Dance for Key Stage 1
Inspirational Dance for Key Stage 2
Inspirational Games for Key Stage 1
Inspirational Games for Key Stage 2
Each CD-Rom is a very useful tool to assist with assessment for
learning. Children may watch video clips before the lesson (perhaps
whilst they are getting changed) to give them ideas for activity and
allow them to set their own targets for their lesson. The CD-Roms
contain - video clips and photographs, as well as providing teachers
with long term, medium term & lesson planning, to help with lesson
preparation. They also identify resources, progressions, description of
skills, safe practice, framework for assessment, etc.
The CD-Roms will improve teacher planning through a series of
progressive medium term plans. Teachers can also watch video clips of
children performing to gain ideas of activities that may be developed
with the children. They also consider safe practices; increase
opportunities for effective questioning and allow for the implementation
of assessment strategies.
To improve childrens learning it is important to:
• Personalise learning:
• Improve reflective thinking:
• Teach children the skills required to learn independently:
Using the CD-Roms the children can:
• talk about their learning:
