The season of goodwill

The Creative Learning Journey’s third Christmas, my how time flies - we have already seen the new festive wheels appearing! Although appreciating how busy you all must be, arranging plays, carol concerts and activities, whilst still working through your normal routines, please spare a thought for your next term.
We would like to offer you some Christmas cheer . . . 10% discount on all new orders received during December, now that’s something to be cheerful about? Terms and conditions apply – please phone for details.

CLJ now even better...new features...added benefits

Now you have the confidence to thoroughly enjoy all the aspects of an integrated skills based creative curriculum solution: Your thematic topic wheels import directly into all of your long, medium and short term planning, the skills are then exported straight into the pupil assessment programme for instant and ongoing pupil evaluation with an easy red, amber and green ‘traffic light’ system. All levelled to the national curriculum levels, now how easy is it for you to be creative? Be two steps ahead of the rest. With more creativity in the classroom, you get more out of teaching and your pupils with The CLJ!
Presentations and Training
The Creative Learning Journey holds interactive presentations that will take you through The Creative Learning Journey ethos, the materials, online planning wheels, short and medium term plans, skills assessment and how to use, share and save a full creative curriculum. The presentations take approximately an hour and a half (dependent on the amount of questions and answers) and are held throughout the year around the country mostly with groups, Clusters and LEA’s. To book a presentation contact CLJ direct on 01634 716222.
In certain circumstances we can book a presentation at an individual school, but we would ask if possible you invite a few schools from your local area to join the presentation. To book a presentation for your school please contact CLJ direct on 01634 716222.
It is one thing to offer you the leading creative curriculum in the UK, so along with this we have help at hand for you to introduce this exciting resource. A day’s training is available, tailor made to your school's requirements, run by ex-primary school head teachers with a vision in creativity!
Resources
Within the on-line wheels section and whilst you are creating your wheel, we have added a button titled ‘resources’ when clicked it opens up a new section showing lists of web based resources that may help you with your activities. These cover all aspects of the 6 areas of learning including visits, places of interest, activities, specialist sites etc. You are also able to share good practice by adding further resources that you have found and used (it literally takes seconds to add a new resource!) Happy hunting!
The Creative Learning Journey would like to take this opportunity to wish all schools a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
