Happy Christmas

It’s that time of year again to share some festive spirit and ICT resources. Did you get a chance to Elf yourself last year? Well this year to mark the Royal Mail Christmas stamps collection, there is a chance to create yourself as a Wallace and Gromit character here.

Also new for Christmas 2010 is an online advent calender hosted on the SWGfL Learning Platform Merlin. Each number hides a festive activity for your class, which Wiltshire teachers can access through their Merlin accounts. Alternatively 2Simple have also launched an advent calender.

You will find a comprehensive range of Christmas ideas and resources on Mark Warner’s Teaching Ideas site.
