The purpose of Pobble 365 (formerly Picture of the Day) is to make it easy for busy teachers to create engaging lessons. Every day, you can find an interesting picture to spark a lesson, together with writing prompts and philosophical questions that you can use with your students on a smartboard screen, or printed out with our easy-to-use PDFs.

Teachers now have access to this exciting resource whatever their time zone or term time. And so Picture of the Day became Pobble 365.

Pobble365 brings a new exciting image every single day of the year and it now has its own dedicated website. This allows us to better display our fantastic images in an even more engaging way and we have provided ‘in-lesson’ and pdf downloadable formats. So, whenever you feel you need a spark to ignite your pupils’ writing, head to pobble365.com and check out this free resource.

Do you find it hard to find a book that is just right for you?

Here are some hints on choosing a “Good Fit” book.

An important part of becoming a successful independent reader is being able to choose “good fit” books. In the library we have started learning how to choose good fit books. Read below to find out more about what a “good fit” book is and how to find one.

I PICK Good Fit Books

1. I choose a book

2. P urpose – Why do I want to read it?

3. I nterest – Does it interest me?

4. C omprehend – Do I understand what I am reading?

5. K now – Do I know most of the words?

Another way to find a “good fit” book is to use the five finger test. Just use this very simple strategy to select a book that is just right for you.
