Sellotape® Zero Plastic: The Sticky, Sustainable Saviour of Festive Wrapping
Generous gifts, moreish mince pies and stuffed stockings: some aspects of the holiday season never change.
The same is as true for your festive wrapping. Whether you have all your presents prepared well in advance – or frantically finish your holiday wrapping into the early morning – everyone wraps in their own way.
"As former teachers, this is the partnership we've been waiting for!"
At PlanBee, everything we do is driven by two aims: to improve teaching and learning in schools and to make teachers' lives easier. That's why we're proud to partner with KCS — the first collaboration in our 11-year history.
I'm a former primary school teacher and now a manager and resource creator for PlanBee. To help explain what PlanBee is all about, and why we're excited to be working with KCS, I'd like to tell you a little bit about my teaching journey.
Will The Corona Grinch Steal Christmas From Your School?
In How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Cindy Lou Hoo demonstrates her understanding of the festive season: “no one should be alone on Christmas,” she says emphatically. And just like Cindy, schools keep that Christmas tradition alive. Shared Christmas performances boost children’s confidence, cooperation and learning. It’s also a crafty and creative time that keeps tradition alive and draws children, parents and the local community together.

Will Snow Days Ever be the Same?
We all know that feeling, when winter has arrived and the weather has taken a turn for the worse. ‘Will it snow?’, we all ask ourselves. ‘Will we be snowed in?’ Students get excited that they have an impromptu day off, and staff are thinking they have time to do planning, relax a little, take a breath.
Permission to Pause! 5 teacher-tips to take the edge off stress.
Stress is great. Your body’s in-built stress response enables you to react brilliantly and deal with things in the short term. But just like a tap filling a bath – left on too long, there’s going to be a flood.
Your teaching day is demanding: planning, meetings, teaching, marking, discipline issues, sorting resources, parent consultations… to name a few. And let’s not forget your life beyond the job.
5 Ways to Bring History Alive in your Classroom
Class visits and museum trips on hold?
Then it’s more important than ever to have the best resources to help your pupils learn history skills and knowledge in a fun and accessible way.
All teachers know that children need a little help to visualise and imagine a life different from their own. In fact, we all do! The right resources can aid in understanding about how we live now, how things have changed over time and how past events have shaped the world today.
KCS’s history catalogue pages are packed with ideas to help your history lessons reach every child. Our visuals, artefacts, learning aids and games will make history spring to life in your classroom.
The highs and lows of remote working…
In the fourth week of remote working, I am starting to realise how much I take for granted on a day-to-day basis. I have come to realise how much I rely on the simple things that we all take for granted.
