Websites worth exploring

Topic Box is a fab website that will save you Googling for teaching resources. It's a massive bank of games and presentations, organised by curriculum area. Suitable for all stages.

Teacher's Pet is useful for display. There are signs, labels, posters and flashcards. Unfortunately, the activities section has a charge, but the display section is all free.

Teaching Library is part of the Teaching Ideas website, and is full of resources to support reading. There are loads of activities to accompany a range of books and novels, including cross-curricular ideas and video clips. Thank you to Kathryn for suggesting this one!
