Hi everyone,
Happy New Year!
Since my last update message, a huge collection of new contributions have been added to Teaching Ideas. Take a look at the New Ideas page to see the latest additions and don’t forget to browse through the new Display Photos too! Thanks to everyone who has contributed. Have you shared an idea yet?
I’ve also made a few other changes to the site, adding a new search box to the top of every page, making it even easier to find ideas and activities to try in your classrooms!
Competition Results!
Congratulations to the winners of our recent 10th birthday competitions. Debbie from West Sussex, Anne from Glasgow, Alice from Middlesex, Antony from Hampshire and Anita from Aberdeenshire each won a Belair Display book from Folens. Sarah from Wales also won £100 of DK books.
