Teaching and Learning Resources from Diane Hawkins
Welcome to the Teaching and Learning Resources
Website! Whether you are a teacher or a pupil, from the UK
or overseas, I am sure you will find something of interest
here.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this site is to provide stimulating, interactive
resources for children in Key Stage 2 (ages 7 to 11) of Primary
School.
LEARNING
In the Learning section, you will find specially created interactive
resources written to support learning in Key Stage 2 of the
National Curriculum for England and Wales. All the resources
in this section have been written by myself, a fully-qualified
teacher with over 17 years’ experience in the classroom teaching
pupils aged 7 to 13. Resources include crosswords, multiple
choice exercises, cloze procedure, wordsearches, web quests,
games and more.
TEACHING
Teachers will find a wealth of subject-related external links
in the Teaching section, to assist with planning work for
pupils or to research topics.
FUN
The Fun pages contain external links to educational sites
for children aged 5 to 11, where the emphasis is on learning
through having fun! There are also some activities written
by me, such as seasonal games, as well as Music crosswords
and a Welsh language crossword.
RESOURCES
This section collates many of the activities from the Learning
and Fun sections of my site by type rather than by subject.
It makes it much easier for you to find another activity of
the same type if you particularly enjoyed a certain activity.
The more formal multiple choice quizzes and quizzes where
you have to type in the correct answer are not listed, however,
as they are just too numerous! These are still to be found
in the relevant subject area in the Learning section.

Looking for something specific?
Search my site.
Hint – if you want to search for a phrase, e.g. Easter crossword, wrap the words in speech marks like this – “Easter crossword”. This tells the search engine to look for pages with this exact phrase, otherwise you will get every page listed that contains the word “Easter” as well as every page that contains the word “wordsearch”.
