PaperZip Website
PaperZip is another website I’ve only recently come across that offers free downloadable classroom resources. Launched in 2011 and based in Scotland, the website offers resources in a range of curricular areas such as literacy, numeracy, geography, science and history. It also has some seasonal and themed resources. On first glance, resources seem to be of a good quality and are downloadable in Zip format. Within the Zip file, the resources are in PDF format. read more…
