Answer Buzzers Learning Resources review


These are a novel addition to any classroom situation and  these answer buzzers re a brilliant way for teachers and teaching assistants to instill fun back into their SEN teaching. They are "Game -show style  buzzers" with four different colours and fun sounds : honking horn, doorbell, and boing! Each measures 9cm in diameter and requires 2 AAA batteries which are not included.

They are a motivational resource making learning fun preventing learning becomes a chore .

But also they can be used in a family situation as they are not just for use within in the classroom , much hilarity can be had with the family as you launch into your own game style games !



Ideal for playing simple memory games the possibilities are endless!






You can like Learning Resouces on Facebook they run regular competitions and are full of helpful advice.

Out of Africa

I grew up listening to tales of Africa so the far reaches of the Savanna were always in my home, it was if I could feel the dry hot heat of the African nights where my dad grew up in Kenya. They used say that to journey into Africa is like going into the heart of darkness and this is so very true of those ancient explorers.


Stories of Africa were further complimented by my granddad who served during Africa in the war time , these included tales of gentleman who were to inherit fortunes but didn't make it back as their planes tragically crashed in the African desert.

Africa had provided mystique and intrigue for writer in their materials for many a fine year, King Solomon's mine,  Out of Africa ( which was a book long before it was a film ) Heart of darkness by Joesph Conrad to but name a few.

I found this in a old book I have its from a Christian Missionary who went to Africa I don't have his name...
