This website is dedicated to the memory of my daughter Kerry Emma who died in November 1983 aged 5 years. You are welcome to use any of the free resources I  produced during the 20 years I spent teaching in Primary Schools and still make for fun.  You are also welcome to add a link to my site but please do not add my teaching resources to your website or School Learning Platform. To anyone who adds a link to my website I send my thanks.  Marilyn 2012

How did it all begin?

The website began almost by accident and may not have begun at all if I hadn’t needed an excuse to lock myself away in the study to hide from the builders who were adding an extension to our house in the winter of 2005-2006.  Initially the idea was to share all the resources I’d made while I’d been teaching and at the same time, raise money for Climb (Children Living with Inherited Metabolic Diseases). Way back then I had no idea how to make a website so chose the only thing I knew - a Publisher website which, although primitive and far from beautiful, worked very well as the site grew to it’s present size. But ……………….

All things come to an end and (as I suspected it would one day) the ancient Publisher website finally imploded when I became the owner of a brand new Windows 7 computer in September 2011.  From that point on both myself and my husband worked ten and twelve hour days every day to get this new, replacement website up and running while the old site hovered for four months in cyber space, still working, still generating orders but cut adrift from yours truly!

I hope you all like the new, much improved, KS1Resources website and that it will continue in its present reincarnation for many years to come or until I run out of ideas and inspiration!

School Learning Platforms and other Websites

SLPW

During 2011 it kept coming to my attention that some schools had been adding my PowerPoints to the CLASS Areas of their Learning Platforms and/or websites so that parents could access and view the resources with their children at home.

Class areas are set to ‘public’ rather than ‘secure’ or ‘private’ - otherwise parents wouldn’t be able to view them - and therefore they are ARE NOT SECURE.

As a direct result my PowerPoints have been found by carrying out a simple Google search. In other words, my work is accessible to the general public through these school sites.

Oh No!

Please, DO NOT ADD ANY OF MY WORK TO YOUR LEARNING PLATFORMS or WEBSITES.

Or FILESHARE or FACEBOOK pages I have not given my permission for you to do this.

Thank you to Uniservity for locating the schools for me and sorting out the problem.

Thank you also to the schools and individuals involved for taking the PowerPoints off your sites.

Which Font Do I Need?

?

PLEASE NOTE;

• All PowerPoints are available in Comic Sans Font and, apart from some early PowerPoints, are also available in Sassoon Primary Infant Font.
• If you are using the PayPal shopping cart you can indicate your font choice as you shop.
• If by accident you click mainly on one font but sometimes on another font I will copy your PowerPoints in the the font that has the majority.
• I do not offer a laminating service.

A Reminder about Sassoon Primary Infant Font: If you don't have this font installed on your computer the text on your slides will default to another font and use larger characters which may disappear behind pictures or off the slide. If you want to order and pay by cheque please make sure you tell me which font you need otherwise I will copy your resources in Comic Sans.. See the order form.  If in doubt please email me and ask for a sample PowerPoint in Sassoon Primary Infant.

All sample slides on this site use Sassoon Primary Infant Font. If you have problems with how this font displays on your screen you’ll be safer ordering PowerPoints in Comic Sans font.  PDF files are mainly in Sassoon but can be read and printed in the usual way.  I do not offer a laminating service.

When will I get my order?

I am constantly checking my computer for orders and as soon as I process (copy or upload) your order I will email you to tell you that it’s ready and when you should get it or, what the download link is.

If you are ordering for the first time I know it can be a bit of a leap into the unknown but I WILL get back to you as soon as I can. If you’ve paid through PayPal, a page will open in a new window that will inform you if I’m having a break from my computer and will tell you what to do if you can’t wait for your order.

PowerPoints - 2000 and 2003

Most PowerPoints were made either on a Windows XP or Windows 7 computer using PowerPoint 2000 although many of the new resources are now being made in PowerPoint 2003. I’m hoping that by sticking with these earlier versions of PowerPoint, everyone will be able to access them on their computers. Later versions of PowerPoint should be able to open earlier versions. So far, no one reported otherwise!

If your PayPal address no longer works I’m afraid you’ll not get an email from me as anything I send will bounce back to me as a failed message.  I hope that won’t be the case though.

Can I get my order sooner or even today? I don’t want a CD but I’m  not sure I’d be able to sort out a download if I asked for one……

How can I get resources via a download link rather than on CD?

• All resources that come to around £6, will be sent by download link (not a CD). Unless you give me an alternative email address, the link will be sent to to the email address on your PayPal order/account.
• If  you want resources that together come to less than 500 MB, I can upload a  (zipped) resource folder to MailBigFile and then send you a download link. It’s very easy for you to download the file but, if you have a slow Internet connection you might find downloading a large zipped folder takes a while.
• If you are outside the UK post code areas (abroad or in the Republic of Ireland) I will send you a download link NOT a CD. This also applies to all UK orders under £6 in value.
• You must pay through PayPal. You can order in the usual way - by using the add to cart button and paying at checkout .  Make sure your email address is the one you check regularly!!!

• Please ‘add a message’  to tell me you want a download link before you pay - or better still, send me an email or message to say you would like to receive a download link .
•  Click Here to find out how to contact me.
•  I can’t always guarantee that I can upload straight away but I’ll do my best to be quicker than waiting  for the post and I will send you the link with an email notifying you. (Is your email address correct?)
•  If in doubt, email me or send me a message. You can find out how by Clicking HERE

 PLEASE NOTE

Admin costs for downloads will be shown as postage charges at checkout and added automatically.

This is not refunded as it covers my costs for uploading and the extra bandwidth I use.
