This 100 page PDF contains 100 positive words for your class on A4 bunting with the UK flag in the back ground. This bunting is very effective in bring out the class patriotism and in-turn your class relationships.
I haven't done, but could be used for Brexit discussions.
I have made a flap on top of the bunting so that it can fold over and be double sided. I have found that it lasts longer like this. once cut and folded over either feed string through the hole or use a whole punch at top on the left and right. Feed the string through these holes (this is how I do it). I also place sellotape on the back to support it even more. One year I cut the top flaps off and laminated.

Mazes help fine motor control. Mazes require your students to control their pencils through the maze without hitting the black lines. This means that they must take their time rather than rushing, in order to have greater success. Progress can be observed as your students bump into the black lines less and less as they gain greater control of their writing utensils. Students use fine motor control in order to produce correct letter formation and legible handwriting.
Mazes are great for problem solving: Mazes help your students to work on their executive functioning skills, such as planning and brainstorming various strategies (e.g. starting from the beginning of the maze or working backwards from the end of maze).
Included in this pack are templates for your students to extend themselves by creating and sharing their own mazes with each other. This is one of my classes favorite things to do.
