I received some sample Busy Ant materials and was very impressed, yet again the resources were of high quality and supports children’s understanding in an engaging way. The resources matched the national curriculum really well and have clear progression across units of work. The lessons have opportunities to be differentiated in 5 ways and the units are flexible and give teachers the opportunities to be creative.
