Staff meeting used to introduce Zones of Regulation created by a SENDCO and Inclusion Coordinator of a Multi-Academy Trust. I have used this PowerPoint multiple times to introduce the Zones of Regulation to head teachers, class teachers and teaching assistants. I’ve received great feedback for this and all teachers have been inspired to create their own classroom displays. Staff meeting Powerpoint includes: Story/history/research behind the Zones of Regulation Explanation of the Zones of Regulation Definition of self-regulation Poster including/explaining the four Zones Blue Zone introduction: Typical emotions felt in this Zone and possible body signals Green Zone introduction: Typical emotions felt in this Zone and possible body signals Yellow Zone introduction: Typical emotions felt in this Zone and possible body signals Red Zone introduction: Typical emotions felt in this Zone and possible body signals Slide explaining how each slide links to the road signs (a good visual) Many activities which can be used to help children identify an emotion they’re feeling and what Zone they’re in (Includes sorting, bingo, video links where Disney films etc demonstrate the Zones, linking experiences to Zones) Examples of classroom resources to introduce/use the Zones Many activities where children will be able to learn strategies to move from one Zone to another to help support regulation (toolbox, tools worksheet, sensory activities) Blue Zone toolbox slides: What we need to do once we’re in this Zone and 2 differentiated toolboxes sharing tools for this coloured Zone Green Zone toolbox slides: What we need to do once we’re in this Zone and 2 differentiated toolboxes sharing tools for this coloured Zone Yellow Zone toolbox slides: What we need to do once we’re in this Zone and 2 differentiated toolboxes sharing tools for this coloured Zone Red Zone toolbox slides: What we need to do once we’re in this Zone and 2 differentiated toolboxes sharing tools for this coloured Zone Examples of classroom displays sharing the Zones of Regulation Conclusion slide offering an opportunity for questions Enjoy!

Use their knowledge of parallel and perpendicular lines to hunt for them in flags of the world! My class absolutely loved this activity.

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.

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 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: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-13024195

This resource is a 16-page booklet which includes sections on: Market research Target audience Idea generation (flavours, textures shape, colours) Brand design (product name, logo, slogan, USP) Product packaging design Photos of product Evaluation with prompt questions During this project, children will be designing their own chocolate product from start to finish. After carrying out market research, they will choose their target audience. They will then generate many ideas before finalising a brand name, logo, slogan, product and USP (unique selling point.) With this in mind, they will then create a final design for their product’s packaging. Once the product has been created (and tasted!) they will complete an evaluation of it. Every class I have completed this project with have absolutely loved it and always talk about it for many years following! National Curriculum D&T links: Design use research and develop design criteria to inform the design of innovative, functional, appealing products that are fit for purpose, aimed at particular individuals or groups generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through discussion, annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, prototypes, pattern pieces and computer-aided design Make select from and use a wider range of materials and components, including construction materials, textiles and ingredients, according to their functional properties and aesthetic qualities Evaluate investigate and analyse a range of existing products evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work I completed this project whilst also teaching about the Mayans in geography/history.

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

Use this fractions poster to consolidate learning. Children to choose a fraction and then complete the circle of activities based around their chosen fraction: numerator, denominator, fraction as a shape, fraction as a quantity, written in words and the fraction needed to add to total 1 whole. My class loved this activity and often refer to their posters when recapping fractions.

This series of lessons teaching printmaking through 14 art lessons. Throughout these lessons, children will: use a roller and printing ink to experiment with mark making to use monoprinting to select colours and surfaces to develop ideas to record and reflect in sketchbooks to create animal print monoprints to use plasticine to produce a relief stamp to investigate African printmaking to create a relief print to use collograph blocks to create prints to plan a final piece based on the techniques learnt to complete my final piece

This resource is intended to be used to help teach the skills of the KS2 National Curriculum for Reading through 22 Guided Reading sessions using the book Whale Boy by Nicola Davies. 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.

The questions to go alongside the video of me reading chapter 1 of Charlotte’s Web. Perfect for working on comprehension whilst home learning! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF__Dw-qeHM

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!

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!

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 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.

An engaging activity where children must complete the addition calculations using the column method to crack the code. The code is an answer to a joke. I have created three different versions of this to allow for easy differentiation in the classroom. Version A: Adding 2-digit numbers without carrying Version B: Adding 2-digit numbers with carrying Version C: Adding 3-digit numbers with carrying

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!

My class absolutely loved making this! After learning about Henry VIII and his six wives during our Tudors topic, the children created an ‘information circle’ for each wive which can then be folded and stuck back to back to create an information text brilliant for wall displays! My PDF file here includes an image of my completed one and then the templates of the 7 circles needed and Henry VIII’s upper body. Enjoy! :)
