Boo’s Big Day: A Story About Emotions

This Miniclip, designed for Key Stage 1 students, provides an introduction to recognising and naming emotions that children feel. The video introduces emotions by following 7-year-old Boo on a regular day to see how different moments cause her to feel various emotions. Students will see moments when Boo feels happy, embarrassed, grateful, sorry, excited, loved, confident, and more while also learning about how her body physically responds to these emotions.

  • Teacher pack includes collaborative activities for students to identify emotions and facial expressions, worksheets, and an interactive video.
  • Written and animated by Irene MacIas.

The Digital Literacy series: Fake News

Fake News – a danger to health, social cohesion and democracy, or just a quick and entertaining way to learn about what’s happening in the world?

Young people are among the most prolific internet users, but they are also some of the most vulnerable and impressionable. These young users need to be equipped with particular knowledge and skills to navigate digital platforms, especially social media communities, in an informed, safe and responsible manner.

This new six-part Digital Literacy video series will ensure students can:

  • Spot fake news and understand its’ risks by analysing everyday examples of hoaxes, sensationalism, scams, propaganda, satire, spin and clickbait.
  • Understand the psychology of fake news and how it manipulates emotions and appeals to ‘lazy thinking’.
  • Analyse features of persuasive and emotive texts such as hyperbole and repetition.
  • Understand where, why and how fake news is created.
  • Conduct a visual analysis of fake websites and apps to help ensure they don’t fall for fake news, or spread it.
