UPDATE - I will be sharing a NEW version for 2024-25 in the next week or so (08/08/24) UPDATE – Due to the large number of complaints about dead links – I have checked every one on 2 separate devices. I have found and have repaired one **Dead Link. Please use the Playlist link below as it has every video in sequence – I can only apologize if any problems continue, but I have done everything possible to rectify your concerns. I have replaced the original document with the updated version. Hopefully the issue is fixed, but I honestly couldn’t find an obvious one** This is the 2nd Year of the calendar and still at its simplest level the purpose of this calendar is to offer a wide-ranging selection of music: different styles, genres, origins, artists, historical periods and so on. As part of an interesting and robust music curriculum, children need to hear and experience music and musical styles and artists that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to hear. The idea was to create a calendar of a song a day. 190 school days… 190 songs. These songs could be used in whatever way the user thinks best – on entry to the classroom in the morning, as assembly music, as a calming session after breaktimes of lunchtimes, or as an introduction to a music lesson. This resource includes this year’s calendar AND last year’s - 2 years of music - for £2! This year I am asking a nominal fee of £2, for a complete resource that will last you all year. I am proud of the product and feel that for the extensive hours spent creating it £2 is well worth it!

This is the 3rd Year of the calendar and still at its simplest level the purpose of this calendar is to offer a wide-ranging selection of music: different styles, genres, origins, artists, historical periods and so on.

The idea was to create a calendar of a song a day. 190 school days… 190 songs. (+2 for those with different school schudeules) These songs could be used in whatever way the user thinks best – on entry to the classroom in the morning, as assembly music, as a calming session after breaktimes of lunchtimes, or as an introduction to a music lesson. This resource includes this year’s calendar ONLY. The previous versions are still available This year I am asking a fee of £3, for a complete resource that will last you all year. I am proud of the product and feel that for the extensive hours spent creating it £3 is well worth it!

15 Poems for the 3 school weeks in December A Poem a Day… why not share a poem in class, open the calendar each morning and share a classic or modern verse… Best suited for LKS2 and up… but some poems could be used in KS1 - this should always be at the discretion of the teacher - always watch before you share! (All links have been checked by multiple users and work correctly.)

Resource includes: 16 Progressive Multiplication Tests (Multiplication Only OR Multiplication & Division Mixed) Display Class Tracker Individual Pupil Tracking Cards Need a simple resource to support children in LKS2 to learn and practice Times Tables… here’s my simple scheme. Done once a week Everyone starts at 10x and each week move through the challenges. 4 mins… 40 Questions - you need to get 40/40 to progress to the next challenge (Makes it easy to target specific questions for children to work on!) Put the trackers on the wall and add a sticker each time they pass one and watch how rapidly the children move through! Quick, easy and simple to implement. It has been very effective in my class over the past 4 years. Once they pass all the Multiplication ONLY tests, they then can restart and include the Multiplication/Division Mixed tests (or start with those). All the trackers are editable for your class.

Simple Display Header A Display praised by everyone who sees it in my classroom Everything you read with, to, or for your class - the cover/poem/song/text goes on the wall creating a simple, effective display that demostrates a love of reading with your class. They can make conections between authors, illustrators, publishers, themes, characters, storylines and so much more that will add to their learning and deepen understanding. Just add the image to a blank page and print it and stick it up… no drama!

Poetic Features: Acrostic Poems (like the Book), Rhythm, Rhyme, Assonance, Alliteration, Onomatopoeia, Repetition All based on the amazing book “The Lost Spells” by Jackie Morris and Rob MacFarlane. Primarily pitched at LKS2, but would work equally well in UKS2, with a few minor tweaks. What’s in the Pack? Lesson Plans for 12-15 sessions (depending on how they take to teach) as pdf A complete PowerPoint of all the lessons (I have removed the content with has the poem texts however these are clearly labelled for you to re-input) ALL lesson resources, sheets, guidance, activities etc. as pdf (This includes some adaptations for HA/LA children) I have taught the full sequence and the final outcomes were exceptional!
