National Pet Day is on the 11th April this Powerpoint has lots of discussion about why we love our pets and the benefits of having pets. Then involves designing a dream pet. Would work for any time to look at pets. Suitable for KS2 &3 but could easily be adapted for KS1.

Powerpoint for Shakespeare Day, focuses on who Shakespeare was then introduces a sonnet for KS2-5 with a reading and discussion oppurtunites for each. Depending on the nature of the group you may use others with different year groups. Students can then have a go at writing their own sonnet.

Used to create a wreath with my form for Remembrance Day in November. Students wrote down names of local soldiers on each poppy.
