The CLRC collection is available for EDU students to borrow. It contains a wide range of resources to support teaching in the classroom. These include DVDs of foreign films to support MFL teaching, class sets of timers for range of activities, story sacks with big picture books and accompanying objects to help tell the story and artefact boxes for religions and for countries. There are also textbooks and books with ideas for teaching. These resources can all be found on the catalogue and are located on floor 1 of the library.
