 Dear Teacher,

I’m delighted to welcome you to Ferris Wheel. Get ready

Ferris Wheel is a 3-level course designed to give teachers all
the tools they need to successfully teach groups of energetic
pre-primary learners. With the engaging stories that students will
instantly fall in love with, cooperative projects, enriching cultural
content and practical teacher support, teaching becomes both
effective and enjoyable.
to hop on with your children for what I hope will be
a truly enjoyable and successful learning journey!
Before we start, I’d like to introduce you to the imaginary
world of the meerkats. The delightful Mimi and her family
accompany us through the course and provide a rich
source of engaging, and often humorous, stories which
young children will want to hear again and again.
Ferris Wheel, with its brightly coloured pods, represents
the course’s innovative Hop on & Hop off approach to
learning.

Ferris Wheel takes into account the priorities and everyday
