In today's guest post, Shelly talks about inventive ways to use our Alphabet Flash Cards for different learning activities with the children, including letter sensory tubs and Alphabet Card I Spy.
When is a pirate not a pirate? Or when is a privateer not a privateer? When you begin to learn about the famous pirates of the Golden Age of Piracy, we discover that the boundaries begin to blur!
Grab the playdough and turn the printer on ...
Just print out these fun pirate-themed lacing cards, cut out and laminate (or not). Punch holes around the edges for younger kids to lace up with wool or cord or shoe laces.
Ahoy there me hearties! Grab your quill and ink and sit down to write a pirate letter on one of these new pirate writing paper designs!
While you are bantering in pirate lingo on Talk Like A Pirate Day, why not take the opportunity to practise your pirate handwriting too! We've got lots to choose from but my favourite is the Yo Ho Ho set!
... with the help of these new printables!
Our word wheel puzzles have been very popular with all ages. They are a great time-filler so why not print out a few to keep on hand? You can pick and choose or download all 50 puzzles (and helpful solutions) in one go.
... designed to inspire some creative writing or help with pirate projects!
While we've been having so much fun with pirates, it seemed only right to create some new parrot activities too!
Drawing a pirate from scratch could be daunting - especially one with as much character as Blackbeard or Sir Francis Drake! We have the solution ... our "learn to draw pirates" tutorials for the kids.
Go all out with your pirate topic and print out some of our lovely new pirate posters! They would be perfect for decorating a pirate-mad child's bedroom, too.
... and we've got pirate colouring cards too! Just print, fold and write your message. Perfect for all pirate fans ...
We've had so much fun creating this collection of pirate colouring pages!
Did you know that 19th September is Talk Like A Pirate Day? It sounds like a lot of fun - so much so that we decided to build a whole new Pirates Topic around it!
This guest post from Shelley is packed full of great ideas for using our printable number resources for some fun hands-on maths activities with the kids. These are the pages used in the activities below:
We've been learning about Stephen Hawking this week. What a fascinating, inspiring man, whose life story has so much to teach children about perserverence and reaching for the starts - quite literally.
... with the help of a whole bunch of new, fun worksheets!
Learning to add up to 10 is going to be fun with these brand new resources, which cover addition of "one more", addition with "counting on" and addition with number bonds.
