Another AMAZING Resource Website!!! ***Twinkl*** (UK)

I have found another website with great resources including printables, topics on classroom management, learning aids, planning and assessment, etc as well as flip charts, templates, and activities and games. The address of the website is UK, but this site even has Australian resources...

It is free to register and you have limited access, however you can sign up for Gold or Platinum access which costs G-AU$48.05/P-AU$72.19 a year...

I am definitely thinking of signing up to the full access!!

LEGO!!! We all love Lego!!

This great resource is all about Lego!

Lego inspired activities for the classroom

It contains 30 Lego activities that look at language, maths science etc. What a great resource for those boys (and girls) in the classroom that are difficult to find ways to engage their interests.


I really need to come here more often... great blogspot update!

Today I found a great blogspot. The website address is; http://lifeovercs.blogspot.com.au/

From what I gather, this amazing and creative lady home schools her children and also travels at the same time. What an amazing adventure and learning experience for her children!!

Her website has lots of resources and links to other great resources.

APPS!! we love Apps!

Here is a list of Apps for the iPad with a brief description that I like :)
 Happy Downloading :)

  • Little Monkeys Apps Number Lines - counting, sequence, addition and subtraction - Little Monkeys - FREEEEEE!!!

Downloading YouTube video clips to mp4

Easy Peasy, just go to one of many websites available such as Computer Hope. This website links you to another website (once info is filled in) that actually downloads it, but I like this link because it gives me instructions.

DONE!!!

Now I can save the mp4 onto my computer or USB stick and I have it available for the classroom without needing the internet or being blocked off from YouTube in the first place.

There is some great educational videos from YouTube and they can be really useful to introduce a new topic or encourage students who need to be re-focused.
