Celeb supply line
AHOST of famous faces will deliver fun-filled lessons to children in lockdown in Celebrity Supply Teacher, a brand-new series which begins on Monday, June 8. Each star brings a passion for their subject and an insight from their own experiences, including Geri Horner with tips on creative writing, Marcus Rashford teaching PE, Gary Lineker teaching Spanish, Tim Peake discussing the science of space rockets, Matthew Morrison on musical theatre, and Kelis sharing her cookery tips.
The series will offer a unique learning experience and insight into the life of the celeb teachers and the things that inspire them. Loosely based around the primary curriculum, it covers topics ranging from science to English, maths to history and cookery to dance.
The 20 episodes kick off with former Spice Girl and children’s author Geri, who offers tips on creating a great story.
She covers themes like character, setting and plot, and shows viewers around her farm and the animals she sometimes takes inspiration from. Geri says: “I absolutely love writing – it’s a passion, so sharing the power of words on CBBC was a lot of fun.”
Astronaut Tim Peake gives his lesson on June 9, with tips on surviving in space including how to eat, drink and go to the toilet. Then, from his back garden, he demonstrates the science behind space rockets using household materials to create his own rocket and rocket launcher.
Manchester United and England star, Marcus Rashford treats viewers to a masterclass in preparing your body for sport on June 10 and, on June 11, stars of Emmerdale and off-screen married couple, Jeff Hordley and Zoe Henry, share their love of gardening.
