Hi everyone. I've added 60 new resources to the main website in this week's update. Full details (with direct links) are given here. Thanks to everyone who sent in contributions during the summer break! If you'd like to send in your own material, or want to help the site out in other ways, then please visit this page.


Several sections of the site have been reorganised during this update. Apologies in advance for the fact that the Google search system will be a little erratic until it catches up with the changes.

Hi everyone. I hope all our UK users are enjoying their summer break. Overseas teachers (or those of you getting your Autumn term planning out of the way early!) might like to take a look at the 39 new resources and 38 photographs added to the site this week. Full details are given here. Thanks to everyone who sent in contributions.

I'm continuing to work on the site throughout the summer. Hopefully I'll get a chance to reorganise a few of the more crowded sections of the site and I've got a few new features I want to introduce. Find out the different ways that you can support Primary Resources by clicking this link.

Site Update: 20th July 2007

As it's the last week of term for many schools in the UK it's quite a small update this week. Full details of the 25 new resources added to the website are given here.

I'd like to say thank you to all the wonderful teachers who have supported Primary Resources during 2006/7. Due to your generosity I've been able to add well over two thousand new resources to the site this academic year. I'll be working on Primary Resources throughout the Summer, so please keep sending in your worksheets, lesson plans, presentations, photographs and other resources. You can find more details about contributing to the site by clicking this link.

My thanks also go to everyone who completed this year's Primary Resources Survey. Your kind comments are really appreciated and you came up with lots of ideas of ways to improve the website. The winner of the £25 Amazon gift voucher was Mel Heale.

The Primary Resources Blog

Hi,

Welcome to the Primary Resources blog.

I'm going to be using this blog as a way of sharing news about the site as well as other projects I'm involved in.

I'll be adding links to interesting web sites that I've come across as well as links to new Primary Resources material before it appears online on the main site.
