In the current climate ofconcern over increasing levels of obesity and a generation of children thatlook set to live less time than their parents, this issue’s theme of the humanbody is both timely and appropriate.Initially, the topic might only appear to offer scientific activities – and itcertainly is a science topic first and foremost. Within the science lesson, muchwork can be done investigating and encouraging healthy eating and exerciseetc. This is critically important – pupils are bombarded with ‘junk food’advertising the minute they leave the school grounds. Naturally, we cannotforce people to eat certain foods. But, at least if we teach our children theimportance of healthy eating and what healthy food is, we can hope that theywill make an informed decision and opt into a healthy lifestyle.As a topic, the human body also offers a wealth of learning opportunities forother subjects and this issue’s Creative Teaching section offers some ideas forliteracy, numeracy, art and design, music and history. Alongside the CreativeTeaching resources and project plans, this issue also looks at the emotive areaof inspections; the highly contentious topic of how to raise reading levels inschools; and the currently fashionable concept of co-operative learning(linking to the continuing development of speaking and listening skills). Wehave also included an inventive and inspiring article from a Midlands-basedteacher on how Mozart’s achievements can be integrated into themathematics lesson. With 2006, being the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth,the ideas in this piece are timely and offer scope for some light-heartedcontextualised mathematics.Juliet SmithEditorjsmith@questpub.co.uk"

Help them to locate the Tudor period on atimeline and discuss whether it is longer ago or morerecent than other periods they have learned about.Using a range of evidence about the Tudor period,such as contemporary pictures of beggars, streetscenes, jousting and other sporting scenes,memorials, family portraits, costumes, etc. ask thepupils: ‘Which sources show rich people and whichshow poor people?’ ‘What is the evidence for this?’Next ask what the children think it would have beenlike to be ill in Tudor times. Tell them that physiciansin Tudor times studied the writings of the Greekdoctor Galen and tried to help rich people with theirhealth and well-being. They knew that a varied dietand adequate rest helped to keep people healthy andcould help cure illness. Ask the pupils if these factorsare still important nowadays. Then remind them thatonly the rich in Tudor times would have had access todoctors and medicines. If you were poor, you hadnowhere to go for help. The History Project 1 folderon the CD-ROM includes an information sheet aboutTudor doctors, health and illnesses. This could be readas a whole class. Ask the class to make a comparisonbetween Tudor health and medicine and modern-dayhealth and medicine.Plenary: As an extension to this activity, ask the classto find out about the Tudor diet. Was it healthy?Aims of the lesson: To investigate Egyptianmummies and understand how the Egyptians knew alot about the human body.Activity: The ancient Egyptians were advancedmedical practitioners for their time. They weremasters of human anatomy and healing, mostly dueto their extensive mummification ceremonies. TheHistory Project 2 folder onthe CD-ROM includes aninformation sheet onmummification and somestaged illustrations showingthe mummification process.It also has an informationsheet on ancient Egyptianmedicine and this should bereviewed with the class.

Most young children adore the freedom to imagine, design and invent, but unfortunately, as they grow older, their interest in STEM declines.
