Laminated posters – serie

This fun, colourful poster introduces numbers to 20, using numbers, words, diagrams and pictures. For example, the number eleven is illustrated by its name, the digit 11, a small diagram of eleven squares and an image of eleven balloons. This helps children to become familiar with numbers in all their forms, and also acts as a stimulus for matching and counting activities.

An excellent visual aid in helping children to learn how to tell the time. A clear diagram indicates the division of the clock-face and illustrations show the significant times in a child's day, such as 'time to go to school' and 'time for lunch'. The wipe-clean clock allows children to practise drawing the hands on a clock to tell the time.

This brightly coloured poster familiarises children with the days of the week, and the wipe-clean surface allows them to mark each day with a whiteboard pen. The colour coding differentiates between weekdays and weekends, and the day record below the chart encourages children to practice writing the days of the week.

The 'Constellations' poster features detailed information under the headings: origins; seasons in the sky; variable stars; celestial sphere; North celestial pole; circumpolar stars; magnitude; light pollution; ecliptic; Milky Way. This text is arranged around a central diagram of labelled constellations in the Northern Sky and a table at the foot of the poster which lists the Latin and English names of constellations, from Orion the Hunter to Cassiopeia.

The 'Roman Britain' poster features a central timeline which spans from AD 43 - AD 410. Maps indicate the area of the Roman Empire in the 1st and 2nd centuries, and the invasion of Britain at the end of the Roman Empire. Information is organised into the topics: work and trade; language; the Pax Romana; entertainment; religion; evidence; roads; towns; houses and home life; end of the empire. Photographs of the Roman baths at Bath and Hadrian's Wall help children to understand the legacy of Roman Britain, whilst images of a Cirencester mosaic and a Latin inscription on a tomb in York provide exciting evidence of the period.
