In the classroom

Christmas is the only time of year when it's not totally uncool to hang out with your parents. That's why we chose December to take a look at homelessness in the US. The stark contrast will give your pupils much food for thought.

We're not really suggesting you send your pupils away, but this month is all about working, studying and going to school in Australia.

This month, you've got the chance to use more than just old cowboy stories in your lessons. Our 14-page special takes you to America's Wild West.

This month's issue is all about young people being active and adventurous! We've got articles about travelling in Britain on a budget, round-the-world sailor Zac Sunderland, Australian police cadets and practising English on the Internet.

June is the month of Spot on's big environment special. You'll find several exercises that will get your pupils talking about recycling, global warming and other aspects of this broad topic.
