This is a lovely, heart-warming song for Mother’s Day. Audio backing tracks (with and without vocals) and on-screen lyrics are included in the PowerPoint presentations for ease of use on an IWB.

Gosh, I’m so pleased with this one. It’s got a brand-new accompaniment from the band. Only a short song, but the sound effects are very effective. Themes are wonder, fear and hope.

With some very funny sound effects, Alfred and his great singers get to grips with the question of what to do when everyone around you is telling you, “No!”

New Year Resolutions is a funny song with a really grand, punchy chorus. It approaches the theme of making resolutions through a sort of extended family narrative. Backing tracks available on Spotify and most major streaming services - search for the artist Conway Coulter.

Support the people around you who may be experiencing difficulties.

One World United is a pretty hopeful song which pictures a day when we all share similar values in a world of peace, trust and respect. (Optimistic, eh?!) Backing tracks (with and without vocals) available on Spotify and most major streaming platforms - search for the artist Conway Coulter.

This PSHE resource is based around my fiction book, Alfred the Great Positive Thinker, which I published as a paperback on Amazon a few years ago. The original blurb: ‘10-year-old Alfred has been involved in an incident on the school playground with the most dangerous boy in school. It has left him scarred. Can his best friend Rose help him to see the positive side of things? Or has his wellbeing been permanently damaged?’ I have converted the whole story into a series of ‘talking book’ videos which include animated text, human/AI narration and over 50 illustrations and discussion boxes. The main theme is the promotion of positive thinking skills and the importance of a positive mental attitude. But other objectives include: problem solving and speaking/listening skills. I’ve split the book into three parts which each has its own video: • Lesson 1: (pp1-26) Alfred – Part 1 video (15 mins) plus 3 discussion boxes (5 mins each) • Lesson 2: (pp27-48) Alfred – Part 2 video (15 mins) plus 3 discussion boxes (5 mins each) • Lesson 3: (pp49-83) Alfred – Part 3 video (20 mins) plus 3 discussion boxes (5 mins each) Play the video to your whole class using your IWB. Stop at each discussion box and introduce the issue. Give talk partners no more than 2/3 mins to discuss each problem. Then select some pupils to feed back their responses to the class for a further 2/3 mins or so. Continue the video to the next discussion box. And so on. I’ve included a set of teacher prompts to improve pupil responses to the discussion boxes. NB: You don’t need to purchase my actual book from Amazon in order to use this resource.
