Best site for teaching resources has to be TES.

www.tes.co.uk

Loads and loads of resources to download - all of them free, developed by teachers and actually used in classrooms.

primaryresources.co.uk can be very useful, as can dltk for very young children and of course sparklebox and twinkl. Also try amazon and ebay for second hand teaching books. Sometimes I've been really lucky on ebay and been able to buy quite recent editions. Ebay and Amazon are also good for older teaching books that can give you a good starting place for planning.

It might be useful for your sil to have a good look through her university library while she is still enroled so she has a good idea of the types of teaching books around.

I agree with sparklebox and also activity village has some good resources
I have only ever used them as a parent, but they seem to have lots of things on them

a warning re sparklebox - the owner of the site is a convicted !!!!!phile, it's been banned from several local authorities computer systems. I'd reccommend twinkl.com and mrspancake.com . instantdisplay has some nice free resources, as well as some you can pay for. I've only used the free ones, and they change periodically (eg, spring is free just now). hope that helps.

I agree that tes.co.uk is good - but they are currently running lots of competitions to generate resources so it seems there are now hundreds of new resources appearing - not all of them high quality. You know, a bit like the 2 million apple apps on the iTunes market, 96% of which are good only for fart noises.

If you want quality stuff I would stick with tpet.co.uk

If you want really good quality resources for maths, then there's only one brand leader mathsticks.com :T
