SparkleBox
SparkleBox is a library of downloadable teaching resources for teachers, with a separate section of printables for parents. It covers EYFS, KS1 and KS2, with subjects including literacy, maths, science, ICT, geography, history, design and technology, religious education, art, music, PE, PSHE, modern foreign languages, dance, drama, HSIE and PDHPE. The site says its collection has grown from a small initial set to many thousands of resources, and editable files are available. Formats vary by resource: a home visual timetable, for example, includes more than 30 JPG images and a PDF arranging images six to a page on A4. SparkleBox launched in February 2006 to share downloadable materials with teachers. Nearly every resource is free to download; paid options start from £1.49. Free resources may be copied and shared with attribution for non-commercial use, provided digital products are not altered. The site accepts email enquiries, though its team says it cannot guarantee a response to every message.
