Blogs, tweets and more!

Well here I am, attempting to make use of this sadly neglected blog!

Recently I have been drawn more and more towards Twitter, and as a result have stumbled across some fantastic blogs and tweets linked to education. So in my attempt to redeem myself for leaving the tumbleweeds to travel aimlessly across this blog page I thought I would share my findings...

  • A fantastic phonics resource (currently a channel on You Tube) launches on it's own website later today - Mr Thorne Does Phonics is stuffed full of brilliant video clips to support phonics teaching and would be an excellent resources for both teachers and parents.

  • Mark Warner, the amazing person behind the fantastic resource site Teaching Ideas and also a great blogger has started to publish a series of Top ICT Tips for Teachers posters that are fantastic for reminding teachers of the ways ICT can help - the first poster is to do with keyboard shortcuts - priceless! These can be found here

  • Another great blog to read is The Heads Office - some great musings from a former Head who is very much still in the game with her views on the system today (also the lady responsible for my resurrection of this blog!!)

There are many many more to share, and I will aim to feature more of these as well as ramble on in my own little way from time to time!

A little plug now, we have added tons of new resources to the site recently including both freebies and ready mades, and have also taken on some great new suppliers. I'm beginning to get back to working on our own resources, so am always happy to accept the challenge - feel free to suggest resources and I'll do my best!

Until next time fellow bloggers and tweeters :o)

HOLIDAY CLOSURE

PCR are off on our holidays! Unfortunately this means that we will be unable to post any orders after 3pm on Friday 14th May until Tuesday 1st June.

Downloads will continue as normal as the system is automated, we will have access to email while away but due to time differences (and the fact that we are on our holidays!) there may be delays responding to your query, so please bear with us!

So, if you do order after 3pm on Friday 14th May please be patient with us, we will do our very best to get your order out as soon as possible from Tuesday 1st June. You will receive your normal order confirmation with this information in, and once your item has been despatched you will receive the order shipped email. If you order ready made resources (laminated) these will take a little longer as we will need to make them on our return.

Our Ts & Cs will be updated later this week to include the shipping despatch delay, please remember if you agree to these (the update will be highlighted) then you are agreeing to the delay in despatch.

Many thanks!
