5 Random Links!
I haven't posted anything for a while so I thought I'd put up 5 completely randomly chosen links to resources that I've used in the past...
Click to Learn: Terrapods
http://www.clicktolearn.co.uk/episodes.htm
These super flash-powered adventures of the Terrapods cover Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 numeracy objectives. The main site also has lots of free resources for teachers and parents.
Patterns in Nature
http://www.hitchams.suffolk.sch.uk/patterns_nature/index.htm
This resource, from Sir Robert Hitcham Primary School in Suffolk, has some excellent photographs that show examples of patterns naturally occuring in nature.
NGfL Cymru
http://www.ngfl-cymru.org.uk/vtc-home.htm
Take a look at the VTC from the NGfL in Wales. It's full of lots of great lessons that are perfect for use on an interactive whiteboard. I've used quite a few of these myself in the past.
The Visual Thesaurus
http://www.visualthesaurus.com
This is something that you have to pay for but give the free trial a go... it's great fun. Enter a word and watch as it creates a spider diagram with synonyms and words related to your starting word. Click on one of the new words and it branches out again. It's really cool.
The Met Office Learning Centre
http://www.meto.gov.uk/education/index
There's some useful resources here if you're looking at weather as a theme in geography. This page also links to the met office webcams (great for comparing the weather across the UK) and also currently features an art competition that your students can enter (closes 30th November 2005).
