The helpful team over at Primary Technology have put together a really easy website which shows school holidays dates. Currently available are the school holiday 2011 and school holiday 2012 dates.

You can easily put the school holiday dates on your website to share them with parents at your school. Some widgets are also in development which you will be able to embed on your site. The service is completely free and schools can edit their INSET days and adjust their holiday dates.

Don’t forget the other fantastic resources from Primary Techology, such as PrimaryPad, PrimaryWall and Primary Games Arena.

The Journey Journal is a special passport sized book that encourages young people to (re)think the places they visit. It has been written for use during holidays, school trips and to support the transition between primary and secondary school.

The Journey Journal site explains that “going somewhere new is a massive opportunity to discover and make sense of the cultures, environments, issues and alternative ideas. The Journey Journal is a clever little interactive book that is packed with things to record, think and do. Using the Journey Journal encourages critical and creative thinking, helping the traveller to see their world in new ways.
