This book includes information on all six areas of the PE National
Curriculum (games, gymnastic activities, dance, swimming, outdoor
and adventurous activities, athletic activities), to increase
subject knowledge and to develop teaching, management and planning
skills. This book provides professional development for generalist
primary teachers and student-teachers and also offers support to
subject leaders charged with the responsibility for other
colleagues. It will build on current practice and aim to increase
knowledge, understanding, confidence and enthusiasm in an area of
the curriculum which often receives a very short time allocation
during initial teaching training courses. Teaching Physical
Education in the Primary School is a comprehensive guide to the
subject for primary educators. It deals with not only the teaching
and learning of PE, but also everything that is relevant to
co-ordinating the subject.
Primary school children are required to learn about Christianity
and local churches are often keen to help, but don't know where to
start. This book provides a four-year cycle of resources that
churches can offer to children at Key Stage Two (years 3 to 6, ages
7 to 11). The tried-and-tested workshop material covers Christmas,
Easter and stories about Jesus and includes all you need to know to
run sessions in your local church.
Most primary teachers are very insecure about teaching physical education due to very short ITT courses (some as little as six hours), and little continuing training in schools because of the current focus of the core subjects. The authors have included information on all six areas of the PE National Curriculum (games, gymnastic activities, dance, swimming, outdoor and adventurous activities, athletic activities), to increase subject knowledge and to develop teaching, management and planning skills. This book provides professional development for generalist primary teachers and teacher trainees and also offers support to subject leaders charged with the responsibility for other colleagues. It will build on current practice and aim to increase knowledge, understanding, confidence and enthusiasm in an area of the curriculum which often receives a very short time allocation during initial teaching training courses. Teaching Physical Education in the Primary School will be the comprehensive guide to the subject for primary educators. It deals with not only the teaching and learning of PE, but also everything that is relevant to co-ordinating the subject.
Zoo Ethics examines the workings of modern zoos and considers the
core ethical challenges faced by people who choose to hold and
display animals in zoos, aquariums, or sanctuaries. Jenny Gray
asserts the value of animal life and assesses the impacts of modern
zoos, including the costs to animals in terms of welfare and the
loss of liberty. Gray highlights contemporary events, including the
killing of the gorilla Harambe at the Cincinnati Zoo in May 2016,
the widely publicized culling of a young giraffe in the Copenhagen
Zoo in 2014, and the investigation of the Tiger Temple in western
Thailand. Gray describes the positive welfare and health outcomes
of many animals held in zoos, the increased attention and
protection for their species in the wild, and the enjoyment and
education of the people who visit zoos. Zoo Ethics will empower
students of animal ethics and veterinary sciences, zoo and aquarium
professionals, and interested zoo visitors to have an informed view
of the challenges of compassionate conservation and to develop
their own ethical positions.
Anthony Cotterell wrote a unique form of war journalism - witty,
sharp,engaging, and so vivid it was almost cinematic. As an
official British Army journalist during the Second World War, he
flew on bombing raids, sailed with merchant shipping convoys,
crossed to France on D-Day, and took part in the Normandy Campaign.
During this time he kept a diary, a hilarious and caustic record of
his role in the war, a diary which abruptly ended after he vanished
in mysterious circumstances after the battle of Arnhem bridge in
1944. Cotterell's diary and selected war journalism, illustrated
with previously unpublished photographs, are presented together
here to shed new light not only on the everyday life of the British
Army in the Second World War but also on the role of the press
during times of conflict. The quality of his writing is truly
captivating and his account of the Normandy campaign is surely the
nearest that a modern reader will ever get to experiencing what it
was like to be in the thick of a Normandy tank battle.
This research began in conversations I had with women, diagnosed
with a mental illness, whilst employed as a social work
practitioner at a women's health centre. The problematics of having
been given a psychiatric classification prompted the phrase 'living
with a label', which became the focus of our co-operative inquiry.
Psychiatric diagnoses are determined and delivered through the
discourses of biomedicine. The women I researched with, loosely
connected as mental health service recipients, had often been
positioned as 'subject' to an objective biomedical gaze. Through a
process of exploration and discovery this project was designed to
generate understandings that could be useful to the women who
participated. Not only is there a gap in the mental health
knowledge continuum, but the need for such insights are made doubly
pertinent at the beginning of the twenty first century as
diagnostic trends suggest that morbidity rates will continue to
increase. Our experience of researching together, and allowing the
'researched' room to know and act, produced possibilities, and also
created conundrums, all of which were celebrated. This book will be
particularly relevant for feminist researchers and mental health
practitioners.
Conscripted into the British Army in 1940, talented journalist
Anthony Cotterell was never going to make a natural soldier. The
Army eventually realised that his abilities lay elsewhere and he
was transferred to a new department of the War Office where he
could do what he did best - write. He would become one of the
Army's top journalists, eventually covering the D-Day landings and
the Normandy campaign. Anthony managed to blag himself a place in
the parachute drop at Arnhem in September 1944 as part of Operation
Market Garden. Captured, on 23 September he was one of a group of
British prisoners wounded or killed when SS guards opened fire.
Treated in a German dressing station with the other wounded,
Anthony then vanished without trace, the only member of the party
to do so. In Major Cotterell at Arnhem, Jennie Gray tells the story
of Anthony's rise to journalistic fame in the Army, the Arnhem
adventure, the SS war crime and the disappearance. She then
recounts the dramatic and painful three-year search to find Anthony
mounted by the War Crimes Group, the Search Bureau and the
Netherlands War Crimes Commission, in tandem with the private
search made by Anthony's devoted brother, Geoffrey Cotterell.
Best-selling author Geoffrey has kindly co-operated in in the
writing of this book. Complemented by Anthony's own words, official
War Crime Group documentation and the letters about the search that
Geoffrey wrote almost daily to his mother, this is a poignant story
of one man lost in the tumult of war.
Examining the assessment of need in children's services this book
addresses the full spectrum of practice, policy and research
developments in the field. The contributors include leading
academics, policy makers and senior practitioners who generate a
broad-based holistic approach to the assessment of children in
need. They show how needs assessment in children's services can be
used to tackle problems such as low achievement, mental ill-health
and social exclusion at both individual and strategic levels.
Approaches to the Assessment of Need in Children's Services will
enable service managers and practitioners to respond effectively to
the increasing pressure to monitor outcomes and effectiveness in
child care work, and to improve and coordinate children's welfare
service provision at individual and community levels and provides
an indispensable overview and analysis for anyone working or
studying in child welfare and social care.
