Reading Logs and Diaries


We've got some fun new printable reading logs and diaries today to help you keep track of your child's daily reading. Print out our charts, stick to the fridge or noticeboard, and start to keep a record - adding a sticker whenever you get to the end of a book, perhaps? Alternatively, print out one of our mini booklets - perfect for going back and forth to school every day or tucking into a pocket or handbag for odd "reading" moments.

The Tudors - our latest theme!

We have just put the finishing touches on a huge new Tudor theme at Activity Village. Whether you are studying the Tudors at school, doing some extra investigations at home, or just interested in some of the larger-than-life kings and queens of the Tudor dynasty, we are sure you will find something of interest!


We have lots of printables, including writing frames, notebooking pages and our very popular mini booklets, and a large collection of colouring pages relating to Tudor life, fashions and of course the kings and queens themselves. We have a great collection of worksheets, too, to encourage the kids to learn a little bit more (and have fun in the process). You'll also find some really super craft ideas to bring your study of the Tudors to life!

Included in the Tudor theme are some printables and colouring pages for some of our favourite characters from the time - Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Francis Drake and of course William Shakespeare. We'll be looking at Shakespeare a bit more closely in the future...
