Hi there! ~_~ *includes* Extensive Lesson plan Deployment sheet for a TA (great for interview!) Lesson presentation Table labels (helpful for interviews) Learning objective and success criteria labels for childrens’ books A4 document of characters to describe (although I used alternative drawings that I made myself) and some pre-written adjectives to describe given characters for LA children. This lesson would take around 35/40 minutes, and would be perfect for a refresher lesson, or perhaps an interview. It’s greatly tweakable for different year groups and the like. I hope it’s useful for you!

Hi there! This is one of my biggest bundles for you guys. In here, there are 8 meticulously planned lessons, with extension work and opportunities to extend the learning over multiple literacy slots. There are 12 separate work sheets, including sorting activities, flash cards for drama, using the example of how chocolate is made. All learning objectives and success criteria are outlined for each individual lesson, and all links for extra resources to be found are on the series plan. Honestly, this has the potential to save you a LOT of work! It can be used for any year in primary, as there are alternative difficulty options, and vocabulary choices that can be altered to make it harder/easier. I hope you enjoy it :) Happy teaching, Miss Ritchie

Hi there! 2 lessons here for introducing chronological explanation texts! LO's, success criteria all sorted along with mulitple worksheets and presentations.

This pack includes 4 activities. The main activity has three tasks that involve classifying words into 1 of 7 categories. This opens up for lots of conversation and debate, which is a great basis for a lesson. The other three activities are mazes where children must get from the top row of the word-table to the the bottom by linking words of that type. I hope this proves helpful! Miss Austin

Hi, All! Here’s a little resource for your convenience- a wordsearch where childrne then must categorise the words into the following word classes: pronoun, determiner, adjective, adverb, verb, noun, conjunction. Enjoy!

Hi, fellow teachers! Here’s a free resource for you- it contains a PDF and a wordx document version of an emotion graph where children can plot characters’ emotions throughout a story. Enjoy!

This is a resource to use for things such as PSHE, RE, Class assemblies, English (recognising speech in text) and other lessons :) Enjoy!
