The Giants Necklace Teacher - Instructions

The "Giant's Necklace Teacher" instruction pack, provided by KS2Gems in 2022, is a comprehensive resource designed to support teachers in creating an engaging learning experience around the book. The pack is filled with a variety of ideas and activities that have been carefully crafted to complement the narrative, which is divided into three distinct parts: Cherry's time on the beach and her subsequent disappearance, her adventures in the mine, and her eventual return to the holiday cottage. Teachers are encouraged to peruse the pack and select activities that not only align with the needs and interests of their class but also integrate seamlessly with other subjects being taught.

Recognising that it may not be feasible to cover every activity in the pack, it is structured to allow flexibility in teaching. Teachers can choose to read shorter excerpts from the book and are advised to ensure that the activities chosen correspond with the specific sections read. Additionally, the pack is designed with adaptability in mind, allowing for the foundation subject ideas to be applied at various points in the story, depending on what fits best with the class schedule and learning objectives. Teachers are also invited to contribute their own ideas to the pack, tailoring the content to the unique dynamics of their classroom. The ultimate goal is to utilise this resource as a springboard for motivation and inspiration, enriching the educational journey of the students.
