The Explorer Teacher Instructions

The Explorer Teacher Instructions, provided by KS2Gems, offer a comprehensive resource designed to assist teachers in creating engaging and educational activities based on the book 'The Explorer'. The pack is not meant to be exhaustive; instead, it serves as a versatile collection of ideas and activities that can be selectively employed to cater to the specific needs and interests of the class. Teachers are encouraged to integrate the suggested activities with other subjects they are teaching, ensuring a holistic learning experience for their students.

Organised by chapter, the pack allows teachers the flexibility to use either the entire book or selected excerpts, while ensuring the activities chosen are relevant to the passages read. The instructions highlight the importance of adapting the activities to fit seamlessly into the class's schedule, with the ultimate aim of enhancing the students' learning journey. The pack is designed to be a starting point, and teachers are welcome to incorporate their own ideas to tailor the learning opportunities to the unique dynamics of their classroom. The resource also includes a Reading Skills sheet that aligns with the English National Curriculum objectives and provides suggestions for thematic Topic Overviews available on the website, covering English, Geography, and Science focuses, as well as tips on launching a class book.
