The Easter holidays are nearly upon us and for primary school teachers, explaining significance of the resurrection and the meaning behind the holiday can be a tricky concept for younger children to grasp. Luckily, the humble chicken’s egg has been a symbol of the Christian’s ‘new life’ message for hundreds of years. The symbol is a very simple concept for children to get their head around (especially if said ‘new life’ symbol is made of chocolate.)

Ideas For Classroom Chores and Responsibilities
In order to teach children how to be responsible, it can be helpful to give your students some responsibilities within the classroom. Helping out with school chores, like stacking books neatly, can develop a classroom community spirit and of course it gives the teacher a break from the menial tasks that need doing every day.
Classroom Management: Volume Control
Too much noise in the classroom can affect childrens’ ability to learn. Studies have shown that even low levels of noise can affect the brain’s ability to access existing memory or lay down new memory.

How Rewards Can Help Keep Attention around Christmas
Every teacher and teaching assistant will know that once December hits and the Christmas play scripts have been handed out, it’ll be a bit more of a battle getting your class to concentrate every day. Christmas is an exciting time, but when you need them to quieten down and listen it’s helpful to have a plan of action to help encourage attention.
