Overview
“Savvy Learning is brilliant it has transformed the atmosphere within my classroom. It is easy to use and the students are all engaged in the learning.”
PE Subject Leader, Bruntcliffe High School, Leeds
Savvy Learning for GCSE PE is a teaching resource made up of over 100 activities that will get your students moving and learning, searching for answers, sorting information and sharing knowledge, ideas and views. The ‘hands-on’ nature of the tasks are suitable for individual, pair or group work and will help you to teach the theoretical aspect of the course in a truly interactive way.
The CD-Rom contains everything you need to deliver the activities: task and answer sheets; wide variety of resources with high quality visuals; and PowerPoint answer slides. It will save you hours in planning time.
After a series of lessons a group of students gave us their opinion on Savvy Learning. Here are a few words they used to describe their experiences. “Enjoyable, different, fun, learnt more, up and moving, felt involved”
