Welcome to the 123HUB News
for May 2020!
Here we are in May, still in Lockdown and living in very challenging times. Teachers and at the moment parents, why not let the 123HUB save you some of your precious time and help you find the right quality resources that you need? We now have over 2600 great online resources to choose from – check out what is on offer on the 123HUB below:
Our super new featured theme for May 2020 is ‘Railways’!
In May, we explore the fascinating world of Railways. We have 40 excellent themed websites on offer, covering: the first engine to travel on a track in 1804, railway development and expansion over the years, including the Industrial Revolution, the Victorian era and the glorious age of steam, taking us right up to the high speed trains that currently thunder along our rail tracks. We also explore how railways have changed the world of travel and transportation.
As with all of our super featured themes, Railways contains a mixture of teaching and investigation resources. The theme comprises of: information, facts, research, hands-on activities illustrations and video clips, as well as some detailed planning – each of which will effectively support this engaging topic
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 school closures, we decided to also keep our ‘Learning and Living at Home’ theme from April on the homepage during the month of May. The popular theme has grown to 62 great resources and we hope that it will continue to prove useful to teachers, parents and children during these challenging times.
The theme contains the following resources:
- Free Learning Resource Packs
- PE and Mindfulness Resources
- Art and Craft Activities
- Cooking Activities and Recipes
- Home Learning Advice and Tips
- Free Stories and Applications
- Non-Curricular Entertainment
- Free Language Learning Resources
- And Much More…
We plan to add to these resources during the crisis and if any teachers or parents out there can recommend any quality sites that we can add to the theme and share with others, please let us know at: hub@123ict.co.uk
The featured theme is normally updated monthly during the school year. Please watch out for our great ‘Heroes and Villains’ resources, coming in June 2020!
