  • Pre-printed worksheets and homework activities
  • The materials needed for up to 30 students
  • Double-sided teacher-led activity cards
  • ‘Quick start’ preparation cards with helpful hints
  • A colourful story poster
Held at the Manchester United Football Conference Centre, eight awards were presented on the night, each recognising exceptional UK suppliers. Learning Resources® were commended for bringing a range to the UK education market ahead of the field, working closely with Findel in a highly valued partnership.Darren Baxendale, Purchasing Manager at Findel Education said: “Findel acknowledged the STEM in Action range from Learning Resources in this award as it was everything we were looking for in a supplier. The partnership and product innovation displayed in the STEM in Action range is a perfect fit for Findel’s customers, and the close working relationship Learning Resources has with Findel is of great benefit to both parties.”Hannah Searle, STEM in Action Manager, said:
“Our exciting STEM in Action range of comprehensive hands-on kits for primary school children provide Key Stage 1 and 2 teachers with digestible and intuitive STEM projects.  Each ready-to-use kit will save teachers up to 12 hours in preparation and planning, by providing teachers with everything they need right out of the box including: lesson plans, activity sheets, homework ideas and assessment tools.  Primary teachers will not only save valuable time, but will see their confidence grow and the student’s attainment levels increase in the ever important area of STEM learning.  Working in close partnership, Learning Resources and Findel Education have mutually benefitted from each other’s product development experience, distribution channels and sales & marketing expertise, to be the first to bring such an innovative range to market.”

Learning Resources has won an Education Resources Award!

Learning Resources was presented with an Education Resources Award in the ‘Primary Resource or Equipment – Curriculum learning resources including ICT’ category for its STEM Robot Mouse Activity Set. Held on the 18th of March, the awards honour the quality and diversity of products, schools and the most dedicated members of the education sector. In their eighteenth successful year, the awards are organised by BESA, the trade association representing educational suppliers in the UK sector, and Brilliant Marketing Solutions.

 New for 2016, The STEM Robot Mouse Activity Set engages primary children as they build hands-on coding skills. Children create their very own maze using base tiles, tunnel pieces and walls and then programme Colby the Robot Mouse to find the cheese. Easy-to-use, Colby lights-up, makes sounds and features two speeds with colourful buttons that match coding cards for simple programming and sequencing.The judges, an independent panel of experienced educational professionals, most of whom are classroom teachers said, “the STEM Robot Mouse Activity Set would encourage children to build hands-on coding skills in a fun and enjoyable way. It was very easy to construct and represented excellent value for money!”Caroline Wright, director at BESA, comments: “What makes these awards different is that they focus on the resources, services and people that really make an impact on learning and the day-to-day work of the teachers in the classroom. The UK education sector is currently in the unprecedented position of offering ever improving standards of excellence. Thousands of educators from across the world visit the UK each year to review and buy products from our suppliers because of the quality offered. We would like to congratulate Learning Resources for its outstanding resource.”
 Elements of STEM learning are highlighted within the purpose of study across the Science, Mathematics and Technology curriculum for Key Stages 1 & 2 in UK schools. The National Stem Centre has stated that the ‘government has long identified STEM education as a major priority at both school and HE level’ and that the ‘effective provision of STEM in schools requires a foundation of strong subject teaching.’ The STEM Robot Mouse supports parents and teachers to bring coding to life and create exciting learning experiences.Mrs Chimes from South Wootton Infant School tried the Robot Mouse with her class:“This product is absolutely fantastic for the new KS1 ICT curriculum and requirements for children to create a series of instructions and plan a journey for a programmable toy. The children could use the product without adult support and really enjoyed it.’”Learning Resources were also finalists in the SEN-non ICT category with their All About Me Family Counter Activity Cards and the Primary- non ICT category with Plot Blocks Story Building Activity Set.

Nancy B - My time in the UK

I was honoured to visit the UK October 7-12 as Nancy B! This is the first time Nancy B of Nancy B’s Science Club made an official international appearance and I am pleased to say I was treated like royalty in the UK.

The idea of my trip began earlier this year when Lisa Guili, MD of Educational Insights, suggested that I meet with Fun Learning’s store managers and explain the features and benefits of both the Nancy B line of science products and the GeoSafari Jr. products. As such, my trip began with a visit to Fun Learning’s office in Wandsworth. I presented EI’s 2015 products as well as the Nancy B line and recent GeoSafari Jr. new products to an enthusiastic and inquisitive group of store managers. The Fun Learning office is in a very interesting and beautiful building that at various times in the past has been an orphanage and an asylum!

From there, Chris drove us to King’s Lynn where I had a lovely dinner with my UK colleagues. The next morning I was excited to finally see the beautiful, bright and colourful Learning Resources office. I presented the 2015 EI product line as well as the Nancy B products and the new GeoSafari Jr. products. The Learning Resources team gave me lots of great feedback which I have been relaying to the EI team in California.

From there, Peter kindly drove me to the beautiful Jarrold Department Store in Norwich where I was pleased to be part of a public Nancy B event. Children completed Nancy B science activities for a chance to win Nancy B products and prize money.

The following morning, I took a lovely train and Tube ride back to central London and arrived at the London Science Museum for a fabulous public event there. Children and their mums and dads (and minders—a new British word for me) came through in droves to use the Nancy B, GeoSafari Jr. and Primary Science toys. We went through a LOT of vinegar and baking soda, shined quite a few pennies, and identified a lot of fingerprints. It was a great (and exhausting!) experience. The day ended with a super fun (and very late) dinner with a lively group from the LR/UK office who happened to be attending the TES Special Educational Needs Show in London.

Last but not least, on Saturday Chris and I participated in a Nancy B event with Fun Learning at their store at the Bentall Centre. This was another extremely busy event involving much vinegar and baking soda and lots of viewings of the ceiling of the mall with a Nancy B MoonScope.

Nancy B’s first official international public appearances abroad went extremely well thanks to the hard work and planning from the Learning Resources team and Chris Beardmore, Sammy Willetts and Helen Ferri Wilson in particular. Thank you to everyone involved.
