Class Rule 1

At the beginning of every school year in every primary classroom, rules of engagement behaviour are negotiated. A framework of aforementioned rules are displayed prominently on the classroom wall for all to see and own. I personally found this a necessary but extremely tedious activity. I wish instead, I had told my class stories of Jimmy McToshbottom, the boy who kidnapped the truth and ransomed it for a lie. They could have learned lots from that cautionary tale. Instead we chit-chatted and plonked a list on the wall.

This is an occasional series of class rules combined with lyrics from songs that have stuck in my mind. Ransom note generator to be used wisely for non-criminal purposes only Can you identify the song and group?

If you or your KS2 class fancy collaborating on the as-yet unwritten story of Jimmy McToshbottom then send an email to jimmy@ict4schools.info and I’ll send you an invite to his writeboard.
