WAKE UP AND WORK 

If you are looking for some more morning work to settle your class then our new WAKE UP AND WORK is one of our most popular new resource lines. There is a pack for each week of the academic year and each week covers the same format so the children will get used to the structure and you can be ensured that your children are exposed daily to spellings, maths, reading and arithmetic across the week. 

Some of the daily activities have been pulled from our most popular resource lines (Maths in Minutes, Rise and Read; and Rapid Arithmetic) so you can investigate a resource further if you or your pupils particularly enjoyed using it. 

Wake Up and Work - Easy, Independent Morning Activities 

RAMADAN begins on February 18th. Happy Ramadan to everyone celebrating. If you are looking to celebrate in school then take a look at our activities. 

Ramadan 2026 

LENT also begins on Wednesday February 18th and ends on Holy Thursday, leading into Easter Sunday. We have a whole school assembly and new Rise and Read activities to enjoy.
