A resource made to recap writing compound sentences with year 1. We have previously learnt about coordinating conjunctions and compound sentences but revisited them before learning about complex sentences. The powerpoint and activity is linked to the Julia Donaldson stories as we are currently writing stories based on books by other authors. I have also included an activity where children are to match the two main clauses and turn them into a compound sentence.

A presentation and visual resource when teaching year 1 children about the subordinating conjunctions; when, if, that and because. Before introducing the lesson we recapped what we knew already about conjunctions and their purpose. The main activity was for the children to rewrite the sentences on the last slide and underline the subordinating conjunctions. I stuck the complex sentences stickers in the children's books as a reminder of complex sentences and what we had learnt about subordinating conjunctions.

A lesson on time interval problems for year 1.

A resource designed to get children excited about grammar. The idea of the game is for children to investigate what happens when we add a suffix to words. One person is to read the word out to their two team mates who must use a fly swatter to choose the options relating to what they must do before adding the suffix to their words e.g. double the letter before it or remove a letter. The first to guess right gets to keep the word card. If children are struggling they can choose one of the magic clue keys to help them.

A pack of resources used when teaching year 3 about the rainforest when covering a biomes topic. This resource was used in conjunction with the book 'Charlie Small'. The packs of information were put into shoe boxes so that each group could investigate a layer of the rainforest independently, as a result the information is differentiated to allow different abilities to access the information. When I carried out this lesson I also included magnifying glasses and different toy animals to bring the learning to life. The children used this information to create a group presentation about the layer of the rainforest they had been investigating.

A presentation and resource created to help year 1 children to edit their work, include conjunctions in their writing and use a range of interesting sentence starts. At the end of the activity I asked children to look at the success criteria they had included in their work and rate whether they deserved 1, 2 or 3 stars, I then asked the children to stand in groups depending on how many they had included, the children were then given another opportunity to fix their work.

A pack created for the first lesson in teaching measure to year one. The powerpoint is based around the theme of the Wizard of Oz and the children are set an initial problem to solve by Dorothy. The powerpoint then asks the children to think about how they could solve this problem and what we could use to measure lengths and heights. This lesson the children were only using non standard units of measure and the HA children moved on to using rulers the following day. The pack comes with an activity for children who will be working independently as well as a teacher led activity. Both activities are practical and hands on which get the children practising measuring length.

Children are to work out the new times and draw the hands on the clock to show these times.

A SP&G lesson on coordinating conjunctions. This was used when teaching my year 1 children what a coordinating conjunction was for the first time. Begins with a revisit of what we know about main clauses and simple sentences and then moves on to looking at coordinating conjunctions. There is an activity at the end of the powerpoint where the children are to choose the best coordinating conjunction to complete the compound sentence.

A resource created to teach year 1 children about handling data and creating tally charts. Children were told that we are going on a trip to the jungle and that in their packs there were some animals that needed to be released back into the wild. The first activity was to sort the animals (this was the whole session for my LA children), they then used the animal pictures to complete the tally chart (a discussion happened here to recap what a tally chart is and what to do when we count five of something). Afterwards the children were to answer the questions about their tally chart. As a next step or reasoning question the children were asked to write their own question to ask someone about the tally chart, there was a frame to support children in this.
