Tell the story of Wales over the last 1000 years, as you discover
how Welsh history, cynefin, culture and language are connected,
from the past to the present. Underpinned by the four purposes of
the new Curriculum for Wales, this book empowers pupils with the
knowledge and skills that they need for learning, life and work.
> Design a curriculum that is unique to your school. Use the
content flexibly to craft a historical education that reflects your
pupils and your local area, as well as covering 'What matters'
statements within the Humanities AoLE. > Follow an enquiry-based
approach. Starting in early medieval times, this book establishes a
strong chronological spine, with later enquiries looking at changes
in Wales thematically. > Develop analytical and evaluative
skills. A wide range of sources and interpretations encourage
pupils to think like historians, using evidence to consider change
and continuity, cause and consequence. > Put progression at the
heart of the curriculum. End-of-topic Activities build towards more
in-depth end-of-enquiry Review and Research tasks. All activities
and tasks enable each pupil to move through their individual
learning journey towards their next 'Progression step'. >
Explore the rich history of Wales and the global context.
Understanding events and issues in Wales and the wider world - and
the development of Wales as a multicultural society - will help
pupils to become ethical, informed citizens.

On a snowy Christmas Eve, a young man named Thomas on his way home
for a family celebration realizes that the candle in his lantern is
about to expire. He stops in a chandler's shop filled with
fantastic wax creations, but instead of admiring them Thomas scorns
the chandler for wasting his time on sculptures that will only
melt. The mysterious old chandler sells him a special Christmas
candle. Back on the bitterly cold street, the young man is accosted
by an old beggar woman. When he lifts his lantern to get a better
look, the candlelight reveals that she is his mother. He gives her
his cloak and only then sees the truth: She is not his mother after
all, but a stranger. The candle tricks him again before he reaches
home, cold and penniless, but richer for his newfound realization
that we are all part of one family.
This intriguing original fable about charity is accompanied by
lavish, mood-filled oil paintings by artist Jacob Collins.
Together, author and artist have created an exquisite holiday gift
book that will be treasured by the entire family.

Alan Christoffersen, a once-successful advertising executive, wakes
one morning to find himself injured, alone, and confined to a
hospital bed in Spokane, Washington. Sixteen days earlier, reeling
from the sudden loss of his wife, his home, and his business, Alan
left everything he knew behind and set off on the cross-country
journey of a lifetime. But a vicious roadside stabbing has
interrupted Alan's trek and robbed him of his one source of solace:
the ability to walk. Homeless and facing months of difficult
recovery, Alan has nowhere to turn--until a mysterious woman enters
his life and invites him into her home.
An astonishing tale of life and death, suffering and healing, love
and second chances, "Miles to Go" picks up the story of The Walk,
continuing this unforgettable bestselling series about one man's
unrelenting search for hope.
Poetry Rebellion is an inspired collection of powerful poems to stir the soul and provoke change.
Life in the twenty-first century is throwing up challenges across the globe—from the climate emergency to extreme politics, from women's rights to gender identity. We can often feel powerless and unable to make a difference in these bewildering times. But throughout history, and even now, poets, writers, and campaigners have used the power of the beautiful word to exhort us to stand up, rebel, and help make that change. From anthemic nature poems and Irish folksongs to Allen Ginsberg's evocative “Sunflower Sutra” and George Moses Horton's “On Liberty and Slavery,” from William Blake's “Auguries of Innocence” and the poetic prose of Nan Shepherd to Jean “Binta” Breeze's “Tweet Tweet,” the words of famous poets mingle with lesser-known voices in this powerful collection. As Pablo Neruda said, “Poetry is rebellion.”
