"I find the Starting Points resources brilliant. They are exactly that, a starting point for my planning. It helps me to ensure that many aspects of the Year 2 English curriculum can be taught from one book. The resource for Toby and the Great Fire of London will really help me to extend the children's English skills while also helping to teach them the history of this event through a story. I would highly recommend these resources."
