Students will be able to use the journal to record and represent their knowledge and understandings and it could also be used as evidence of learning and to inform assessment grades.
The highly engaging PowerPoint lessons include quality real life photos and interactive aspects perfect for large screen display and interactive panels.

I usually compile the pages of the journal into a booklet for the children.
You might like to just select and print individual pages as follow-up or extension lesson activities to accompany the PowerPoint lessons.
Sometimes I enlarge a journal page to A3. After we watch the related PowerPoint lesson, we complete the poster size journal activity together as a whole class. Of course, the whole journal could be printed at A3 size and used as a whole class learning journal.
