Autumn already....

Once again I find myself trailing the internets for different ideas for the start of the new Autumn term and I found some fantastic resources courtesy of TES NEW TEACHERS. Its a page that I follow on Facebook and often find that they have innovative new ideas, this shall give me plenty of food for thought before September comes...

Cool door!

Thanks to the website "Scholastic Teachers", I came across this little gem.

Unfortunately, this isn't going to be too appropriate for the level that I teach, however, the idea is easily adaptable in order to make it easier for your little ones to understand. I was also thinking that it would be a great idea to interact the sentences according to what we are studying in English, Science or Maths. I'm a very big believer that the children ought to participate, so it would also make a great little art project too, even throw in some extra alphabet practice! (plus, I think parents would love the friendliness and good messages it evokes!)

My favourite resource website: Teachers Pet

During all the years I have been a teacher, it has become increasingly more easy to find free resources such as activities and classroom decoration. As many teachers will have suffered the loss of the now infamous "sparklebox", for reasons we all know, finding a replacement has been a long and slow process. The Best website that I have come across is Teachers Pet . Their classroom decorations are beautifully designed and straight to the point as they often create resources that teachers have personally requested (myself included) They also have a subscription based activities site which is fantastic and great value for money. I am a subscriber and share the account with my colleagues. They have even branched into some great MFL resources!
