This biplane could be useful for any number of primary projects. Loosely based on a sopwith camel, the artist (Chris Brown) has given permission for its use on this site and for any teacher to download and use in the classroom.

Free Star Wars Paper Models

Perfect for adding a little fun to the classroom or for introducing plans, models in technology, these free star wars paper models are PDF files that you download, print out, cut out and glue. We made the AT-AT to make sure they were easy and found them surprisingly well done. You actually end up with a serously nice model.  When that little horror from year 9 stomps on it you will actually be quite upset.

Free Pounds and Pence for Primary Teachers

Well, Ok not exactly free money, but the Bank of England gives away a great primary school information pack called ‘Pounds and Pence‘.  In it  you will find:

  • information cards
  • photocopiable activity cards
  • A DVD
  • Teachers’ Notes
  • A2 sized classroom poster

Sadly, no actual cash, but it will make teaching the basics of pounds and pence a little easier.
