The Teaching Deputy

Average Rating4.10
(based on 69 reviews)

Hello, thank you for looking around my shop. I am a teaching deputy head teacher, with 16 years of experience, who works in a rural primary school. I know how wearing many hats can eat into your time but understand how important excellent resources are for engaging pupils so they make accelerated progress. I have included lots of free resources in my shop but placed a small charge for resources which have taken me many hours to create. I hope you enjoy them and use them to motivate your pupils.

English - Word Wheels Warm Up Game 7 Letters

English - Word Wheels Warm Up Game 7 Letters

(0)
This is a fantastic resource I made for improving spelling during morning activities. The words are taken from the year 3 and 4 word list. There are 20 different 7 letter words which are placed in a wheel. One of the letters is put in the middle, which has to be used in every word. Pupils then try to make 3 letter or more words. I score it by allowing the pupils 5 minutes to find words. They get 7 points for the 7 letter word and 6 points for 6 letter words etc. Pupils read their word out and if no one else has got it they get the points. Everyone who gets the 7 letter word gets 7 points, even if someone else gets it too. Each slide has a clue what the 7 letter word is. The next slide always reveals what the 9 letter word is.
