Themed Resources
The images are collected under themes and there are, for example, 229 images on the theme of Christmas for use in the classroom. There are black and white images, coloured images and photographs available.
The last tab for each theme is crafts. I downloaded several Christmas ones; the Christmas cards did not impress me but the nativity scene and Christmas mobile were lovely!
The sitemap shows a massive range of themes, far too many to list here but worth looking at for any upcoming projects in class. The themes range from pig breeding, to pirates, to kitchen ware and cover all periods of history, festivals, geography, space, vehicles, animals, toys, etc. There are lots of familiar sounding themes, educational pictures photos and crafts!

Both of these resources could be very useful in the classroom. Finally, the site hosts a set of online games that are suitable for children and they may be great for wet play times!
