Someone on TES posted a link to a really useful website, which I thought I’d share.
http://www.teachers-direct.co.uk/resources/quiz-busters/subjects/ks2.aspx?page=2
It has Blockbuster games which use key vocabulary for maths, science, languages, etc. You can also create your own Blockbuster games, or wordsearches which can be completed online or printed out.

Schools Links has some really helpful pages, including these two which contain links to all the bits of the old Primary Strategy that are now nearly impossible to find on their site (e.g. Unit plans, Spelling bank).

The science page is also useful, with links to QCA documents, BBC resources, etc.

These sites have really useful resources for science vocabulary:
http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/education/information-for-schools/good-practice/curriculum/science/primary/vocabulary
http://www.halton.gov.uk/schools/science/Key%20Vocabulary.pdf
This is an area that I know my class need to develop (in fact, I’ve just written it as a target on most of their reports!), so I’ll be printing out quite a few of these next year.

Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery has finally got round to putting some of its learning resources online. I worked for the museum a few years ago as a freelance museum educator, and was disappointed that they had so little available on the internet.

Animals from around the world
Ceramics
The Egyptians
