This resource pack contains everything you need to help break the ice with your students. This would be ideal for any new class whether they are just new to you or even new to each other! Although it is great for the start of the academic year, many of us deal with casual admissions and students who join late in the year. These resources will be great for helping you get to know them better and for them to integrate into the group.
You will find physical activities to get them up and about, moving and talking to one another and finding things in common, helping the group to improve their social skills in talking, bonding and making new friends.
Enjoy getting your group of students to begin bonding and making friends!
Do you want to educate your students about the dangers of Cyber Bullying? It is a rising problem among teenagers and young people in this age of social media, so this resource will offer your students the opportunity to consider the dangers and effects of cyber bullying by encouraging them to discuss and reflect on realistic scenarios.
I have used this resource on different groups of students from year 7-10 and it has proven effective for all ages. It’s interesting that each age group has brought out its own conversations from this resource.
I find it shocking how many young people (especially those below the required age of 13 to even have a social media account) are suffering from cyber bullying online and don’t yet have the skills to handle it. This resource has made a significant difference to my students and I can only hope they go on to spread the word to others!
I hope that my resources save you hours and hours of time: something we always sacrifice so much of as teachers. ❤

Are you fed up with those scrappy sheets of paper stuck on your door to inform students of important notes such as when you have moved rooms or if there is a test going on?
Well look no further, these quality door signs will look fabulous all year round and will save paper too!
These are really unique as depending on where you work, you might have to share your classroom, so these door signs are not only gorgeous, but can adapted for ANY teacher and room! Simply laminate or put into a plastic sleeve, pop on your door then write straight on the plastic with a white board pen. These signs have space to write the teacher name, date, lesson and where the class needs to go to. Each type of sign comes in 3 different and quality styles.
There are also a set of testing signs as well, so passers by know to keep the noise down! So much better than those scribbled notes and much more environmentally friendly too!
