Year 3 Resource List

These are the resources which class teachers need in order to teach the Hamilton plans. These are exhaustive lists - i.e. they are the resources you would have in an ideal world. So it is possible to teach the Hamilton plans without some of these resources (and many teachers do). But these are the things which, if you are wanting to allow teachers to do the best possible job, a school would have.
