Christmas Cracker Template

Thanks, Alexandria!

Relative clauses

Thank you for this great resource. The activities were varied and suited different styles of learners and abilities. I used it today in Year 5 and it was a success. Thanks again!

You're welcome, Lusine! We're so pleased to hear that this resource was useful for you :-)

Remembrance Activities

This activity for Remembrance is brilliant. It has everything you need for making your own poppies and the young people can’t wait to show off their poppies they have made! 🤩

That is lovely to hear! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review :-)

Incredible Resources

My boys are loving the lessons at home now. Easy to download, easy to manage all the different lessons. Amazing. Thank you :)

You are very welcome, Stephanie! We are so pleased to hear that you and your boys are enjoying the resources :-)
