#CLPEWordsForTheWorld - Recovery Curriculum for Primary Schools
In July 2020, we released our recovery curriculum teaching notes to support primary children with the transition back into school in September. These notes are based on Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth by Oliver Jeffers and we are delighted that over 13,000 teachers registered to receive the notes and used them in their classrooms.
We want to encourage a sense of community across the entire school, to help teachers and children reflect on the last academic year, and help whole schools look forward to the future in a positive way.
Oliver Jeffers has written and illustrated his own #CLPEWordsForTheWorld.

Use this for inspiration in your class to share your own words for the world in any way you want, a note, an illustration, a written poem, a recorded video, a story, or even a song! Anyone can take part by using the #CLPEWordsForTheWorld no matter where in the world you are.
On 24th September thousands of schools, alongside authors and illustrators shared their Words for the World using #CLPEWordsForTheWorld
