Product reviews for Dirty Teaching

With the increasing focus in primary schools upon active learning and engagement to promote understanding and participation in the learning process, Juliet has produced a book full of practical ideas and tips My extensive experience of teaching physical education outside, reminded me of the need for good practice strategies for moving out, warming up to burn up excess energy, creating a gathering place, signals for stop, move etc. I particularly liked the sections on thinking, reflecting and reviewing, creating and constructing, caring for nature and exploring what's new out there. With so many parents / carers seeking "cheaper" activities to engage their children during school holidays this is an excellent book for parents, teachers, after school club teams, voluntary groups such as cubs and guides etc. I have picked up so many new ideas to enjoy learning through fun with my grandchildren on the beaches of Ceredigion and whilst walking the coastline of Wales.
