Teachers need some fun to. This is my adult colouring book for teachers. You could print it out for your class to quietly colour during tests (when they have completed them to calm and relax them), or during long staff meetings - nothing is more relaxing and constructive than a little light colouring. This is to encourage staff to have a little time every day to think and reflect and not work. This is my attempt at improving the good life balance of staff. All these images were in the public domain. In the majority of the cases however, it took both a long time to find, then even longer to use editing software to sharpen and improve the images. I would love to know what people think of them.

I would like to introduce a brand new concept in thinking. Thinking Scarves. For a long time I was a huge fan of thinking hats... until a teacher one day wrote to me and said she did not like Thinking Hats as the Black Hat was very negative and could help to reinforce negative stereotypes about the colour black. In contrast, "White" was seen as a straight down the line, honest hat. The facts, pure and simple, without and falsification or misinterpretation. I then thought I am a teacher. Why not simply reinvent the whole system - forget about hats - scarves are the answer. With scarves, you can share them between friends, creating a closer bond between the thinkers. Make a thinking system which works perfectly in a primary school environment. Green - What is positive - makes you feel good? Red - What is negative? What makes you feeling angry or upset? Purple - what are your general feelings towards a character? Like purple, feelings can be hard to define. Gold - Make 'n' Shake - Follow your dreams and all the streets will be paved in gold. Blue : Facts - Facts, like the sea and sky can appear endless. Guide: No scarves, just a handy bag to carry all the scarves in and organise them into some sort of order. I would love other people's opinions on this concept.

I have a dream. I want all pencils used in schools to contain tree or other plant seeds. I want children to use plantable pencils. I have developed my own very cheap, simple plantable pencils which could be made and used in the classroom. All you will require are: Some pasta with a hole in the middle, the width of a pencil School pencil Seeds A school book label which will be cut in half. From these simple resources, you will be able to make a plantable seed pencil. The children can then develop the idea. How can it be improved? How can it be decorated? What are the positives and benefits of such an idea. It is also a great tool for using in science when you wish to get childre to grow things in pots, as the pencil of course makes an instant label. Teachers and pupils who have already tried this have given me very positive feedback. The pencils I am using in the video are 100% recycled paper pencils - but any pencil will work perfectly well.

The Importance of Thanksgiving Posters in the Classroom As Thanksgiving approaches, I’ve been inspired to create and share 10 beautiful posters that celebrate the spirit of gratitude. While browsing through resources on TES, I noticed a lack of engaging materials that truly capture the essence of being thankful. This motivated me to design these posters, which can be a wonderful addition to your classroom decor. Why Use Thanksgiving Posters in the Classroom? Promoting a Culture of Gratitude: Thanksgiving posters serve as a powerful reminder to students about the importance of expressing gratitude. They encourage a culture of appreciation, helping students understand the value of being thankful for what they have. Visual Engagement: Colorful and thoughtfully designed posters can capture students’ attention and create a warm, festive atmosphere in the classroom. Visual aids enhance learning by providing context and stimulating discussion around the themes of Thanksgiving and gratitude. Inspiring Reflection: These posters can prompt meaningful conversations and reflections among students. They encourage learners to think about what they are thankful for and share their thoughts with their peers, fostering a sense of community. Versatile Teaching Tool: Beyond Thanksgiving, these posters are suitable for any lessons focused on gratitude, kindness, and respect. They can also be effectively used during harvest festivals or any time you want to teach about appreciation and community. Encouraging Positive Behavior: Displaying messages of gratitude can promote positive behavior within the classroom. When students see reminders of thankfulness, it can influence their interactions and encourage them to express appreciation towards their classmates and teachers.
