Included is a series of 10 English lessons based on The High Street by Alice Melvin. Throughout the lessons, children will learn about and apply their learning of nouns, adjectives, determiners, lists and rhyming words. Learning objectives covered in this series of learning are: To use the determiners ‘a’ and ‘an’ correctly. To write a list. To use commas in a list. To use adjectives to describe nouns. To write creatively. To review and edit my writing. By the end of the project, each child will have created their own version of The High Street zig-zag book. This pack included all of my lesson plans for these ten lessons as well as copies of each resource needed. I absolutely loved planning this and hope you enjoy the series of lessons.

A fantastic and engaging game that my class love. Simply give each child a card and get them to walk around the classroom. When they meet another child, they should high five them and say, “Quiz, quiz, trade.” Each child then asks the other child their question, when they both give the correct answers, they can trade cards and then continue to move around until they meet somebody else. If a child gets the answer one, a child can help support them by prompting/giving clues as they have the correct answer on their card. My class absolutely love this game and don’t realise just how much they’re learning when they play it!

An angles lesson I’m very proud of after seeing great progress in the classroom and being graded outstanding for this lesson. Complete lesson plan is included!! This lesson introduces angles and teaches the difference between right, acute and obtuse angles. This PowerPoint also includes 4 activities including using a hungry angle monster to hunt for right angles and using lollipop sticks to complete an angle investigation. The end of this PowerPoint leads nicely onto learning about triangles and using the children’s learning on angles to move onto this. I’ve also included all my resources included in this lesson, including definition cards and an extension spotting angles in clock faces.

A medium term plan including the key learning expectations covered in History and Geography, ideas for continuous provision/enrichment and 11 in-depth lesson plans. A knowledge organiser which is a summary of the key facts and essential knowledge that pupils need about a unit of work or a curriculum subject. The information is presented clearly and is broken down into easily digestible chunks. The activities included: To order British periods of time chronologically. To order the main turning points of the Roman Empire in Britain. To create a zig-zag timeline. To understand the spread of the Roman Empire and identify the spread on a map. To create my own Roman shield. To create a model of a local Roman town: Venta Icenorum. To research an iconic Roman figure and create an information book about them. To design and make my own Roman mosaic. To mark Roman roads on a map of Britain. To create a model of a Roman road. HISTORY NATIONAL CURRICULUM STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS: Pupils should be taught about: • the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain. This could include: Julius Caesar’s attempted invasion in 55-54 BC, the Roman Empire by AD 42 and the power of its army, successful invasion by Claudius and conquest, including Hadrian’s Wall, British resistance, for example, Boudicca, ‘Romanisation’ of Britain: sites such as Caerwent and the impact of technology, culture and beliefs, including early Christianity. • Roman withdrawal from Britain in c. AD 410 and the fall of the Western Roman Empire. • a depth study linked to one of the British areas of study listed above • the legacy of Greek or Roman culture (art, architecture or literature) on later periods in British history, including the present day • Pupils should continue to develop a chronologically secure knowledge and understanding of British, local and world history, establishing clear narratives within and across the periods they study. • They should regularly address and sometimes devise historically valid questions about change, cause, similarity and difference, and significance. • They should understand how our knowledge of the past is constructed from a range of sources. GEOGRAPHY NATIONAL CURRICULUM STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS: Pupils should be taught to: • locate the world’s countries, using maps to focus on Europe • use maps, atlases, globes and digital/computer mapping to locate countries and describe features studied

A visual aid to support children when learning about the seven different characteristics of living things: M.R.S.G.R.E.N. After teaching this to children, they made their own version to use to support their learning which they loved. Enjoy! This lesson is included in my medium term plan for Living Things and Their Habitats which can be found here: /teaching-resource/-13024195

I created this to use with my class during a lesson on fractions. I wanted them to identify fractions and order fractions in ascending order but wanted to create a way for them to do this which had meaning and was exciting. Therefore, I provided each pair of children with a bag of skittles which they then used to complete the worksheet. The children found this extremely engaging! This lesson meets the following statutory requirements from the National Curriculum: Year 3 Pupils should be taught to: count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10 recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole [for example, 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7 ] compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominators solve problems that involve all of the above Year 4 Pupils should be taught to: recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by 100 and dividing tenths by 10 solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non-unit fractions where the answer is a whole number add and subtract fractions with the same denominator recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundreds recognise and write decimal equivalents to 1/4 , 1/2 , 3/4 find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths round decimals with 1 decimal place to the nearest whole number compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to 2 decimal places solve simple measure and money problems involving fractions and decimals to 2 decimal places

Assembly used to raise awareness of dyslexia to primary and secondary school children. This assembly has been created by a SENDCO of multiple schools and an Inclusion Coordinator of a Multi-Academy Trust. I have used this PowerPoint multiple times in assembelies to schools and children have responded really well to it. This asssembly covers: What do we already know about dyslexia? What is dyslexia? How many people does dyslexia affect? What causes dyslexia? How does dyslexia affect people? (With example images, sentences and videos) Case studies of dyslexia affecting children A video link to a Newsround special on ‘My Dyslexic Mind’ Successful and famous people with dyslexia and examples of how it helped them A video link to ‘See dyslexia differently’ An opportunity for questions

A Knowledge Organiser for the Science topic, Animals, including humans.

This resource is intended to be used to help teach the skills of the KS2 National Curriculum for Reading through 11 Guided Reading sessions. Included in the pack: • Questions which focus on vocabulary, retrieval, inference, predictions, author intent, author technique and giving explanations for answers using evidence from the text. • Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Activities/Questions. • Reading and respond to the text activities. This resource has been used with KS2 classes to great effect and has boosted their reading skills and their comprehension scores.

A fun activity where children can consolidate their learning and understanding on addition. I have created three differentiated game sheets. Taking it in turns, choose a calculation to complete. Work it out on a whiteboard and if you get the correct answer, you can place a counter over the calculation. The first person to get 4 counters in row horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins. Every child I’ve played this game with have really enjoyed it!

This worksheet teaches that an adverb is a word that describes a verb, adjective or another adverb. It has a clear visual which teaches that there are 5 different types of adverbs: time (when?), place (where?), manner (how?), frequency (how often?) and degree (how much?) This worksheet has a range of sentences (written in cursive joined handwriting). The worksheet explains that the child needs to underline the adverb and tick whether it is a verb of time, place, manner, frequency or degree. My class really enjoyed this resource and understood it well.

A resource which helps children to identify which unit of measurement should be used to measure different lengths. The four units of measurements included are: mm, cm, m and km. Children to choose a colour for each unit of measurement and indicate these on the key. They will then use the key to highlight each length according to the unit of measurement they believe should be used to measure each different length. My class enjoyed completing this activity and responded well to the real-life links. Enjoy!

An annual reading tracker to be completed by anyone to track the books read over the year. Simply colour in a book from the stack from the current month and colour it in and label it to look like the spine of the book you’ve just read. A great way to remember the books you’ve enjoyed over time and a great reward strategy for less enthusiastic readers! Enjoy :)

Each child receives a loyalty card with their name on and their own personalised target for their weekly spelling tests e.g. ‘to get at least 10 spellings correct,’ ‘to get full marks.’ (There is an allocated section on the card where each child’s target can be written.)Each time the child then meets their target they can add a sticker to their honeycomb collection on the reverse side of the card. Once they’ve received 6 stickers they receive a prize. (I have a box of small prizes including pencils, rubbers, stickers etc). Whilst the resource motivates children to succeed on their spelling test it also recognises the range of needs in each class and the need for differentiation regarding the words set and their targets. A great reward! My class are extremely driven by it.

It’s really important to discuss the different language used around the different operations. This activity will allow children to discuss and compare the different terminology used for the two operations, addition and subtraction.

A classification activity for children learning about ‘Living Things and their Habitats.’ This resource includes 2 Venn Diagrams (one more complex than the other) and 1 Carroll Diagram. The children can then add their own criteria to the diagrams e.g. has a back bone, lives in the desert and then should use the images (also included) to classify the animals and plants. Children could also draw their own images. This resource is completely ready to go! Enjoy :)

For World Book Day, our school are completing a whole school project of completing a collection of book reviews. Each child will choose their favourite book and will complete an A4 page review. We will be using this PDF as inspiration for the children to give them ideas and to set a standard. This poster also includes ideas for what they could/should include in their review. We’re so excited to put the reviews into a book and to display it in our school library!

Simply edit the names and then print these cards off onto coloured paper of your choice and display as desired. This is a great way to monitor what your children are reading and for them to see which books each other are reading too. I will get the children to stick new post-it notes on top of old ones which will then create a reading-log in itself. Both myself and my TA’s have a card too as we want to join in the fun and the kids love seeing which books we’re reading!

A game which children love and which also helps them to practice their co-ordinates!

The questions to go alongside the video of me reading chapter 1 of The Magic Place. Perfect for working on comprehension whilst home learning!
