March / April
Easter
End-of-spring-term Easter resources
📅 Late March or early April
Easter falls at the end of the spring term — typically the longest, most exhausting term of the year. These resources are designed to wind down the term thoughtfully, support transition, and prepare children for the spring break.
End-of-term wind-down
Calm, coherent activities for the final week.
Warm-Up Activity Cards
Eight 5-minute warm-up games — print, cut and pull one at the start of every PE lesson.
30 Brain Breaks for Primary Classrooms
30 brain break activities organised by purpose — energising, calming, focusing, social. Each is 1-3 minutes, no resources needed. Print, laminate, draw one when needed.
Cover Day — Morning Meeting Script (Any Class)
A scripted morning meeting routine for any class, any age, when you don't know the children. Register, weather, mood check, calendar, day plan — 10 minutes that establish you as the adult and the children as a team.
Articles for the spring break
Worth reading over the Easter holiday for next term's planning.
