Talking Points & Writing Prompts
As with many of the Early Morning Activities, these can very easily take up more than just a ten or fifteen minute slot at the beginning of the day. It is very often the case that the children wish to explore many of these ideas in more detail and this could therefore form the basis of some very interesting Literacy- either a verbal debate or presentation or even a more formal written piece arguing one way or another. Another suggestion for the use of these cards is to place them in a corner in your classroom where the children can go when they have finished a piece of work. Please note: there are only 12 cards below but there are many more to be uploaded in due course.

Writing Prompts
Writing Prompts on Tumblr (click the icon) is an amazing source of wonderful ideas for writing. The author of the website takes well known or topical quotes to form questions about the world we live in. I have copied a few of the most relevant ideas for Key Stage 2 pupils- it is advised that you select the cards carefully as not all of them are appropriate for our age-range nor are they necessarily for British or British-curriculum pupils. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic website and has an enormous range of ideas to flick through. I've found myself spend many hours going through some of the best to save for Early Morning Activities or even for whole lessons. Give them a try and see what you think. Once again, I take no credit for these but believe they are well worth a try.
