Simon Haughton has set up a number of collaborative documents which are building into very useful resources. The first is a collection of ideas for creative curriculum topics which are perfect for schools who are planning for the next academic year.

The second is a list of activities that children can try online during their summer breaks.

Here are details of two new teaching resource sites that I’ve discovered recently, both aimed at primary teachers:
PlanBee is a resource website aimed at providing primary school teachers with all they need to create exciting, relevant and inspiring lesson plans. Becky Waters, creator of PlanBee, says that the aim of the site is to “take the sting out of planning”. Joining the site is free, but there is a charge to download some of the lesson plans and resources.

Twinkl is a new online resource centre for foundation and Key Stage 1 teachers. It offers ‘bright resources for bright teachers’ and everything is free to download and use. There is also a ‘suggest a resource’ section which allows teachers to suggest things that they would like to see on the site.
