Revision on muscles, movement and the components of fitness. ready for immediate use.

This is a power point presentation with an attached worksheet. I created it for a couple of reasons: The first being that going through all the information would reinforce learning and also to fill in any gaps in understanding. The second was to allow everyone to have a good set of notes to use as a revision aid, hence the worksheet. My intention was to fly through the presentation, adding contextual information and answering any questions that are raised. This worked well as it limited opportunities for students to fall behind as it was such a fast pace, you couldn't afford to have a chat or day-dream. The presentation is littered with questions for students to answer periodically in order to express their understanding. This whole revision unit can take anywhere between 1 hour and 3 hours to complete. Elements can be given as homework if required with the power point made available to students. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated whether positive or negative.

It's called the Christmas quiz just because I used it at Christmas with my GCSE class this year. It can be used at any time. The quiz starts with some multiple choice questions related to the GCSE course before getting into some random and often ridiculous questions that are supposed to be for a bit of fun (but often resulted in arguments between teams when completed)! Feedback, good or bad is appreciated.
Updated Easter Quiz with three rounds including the Easter Story. Intended for fun.

Updated Easter Quiz with three rounds including the Easter Story. Intended for fun.

(1)
This is a quiz to be used for fun at Easter. There are three rounds, each with 10 questions. The first round is Eggs, the second is Easter around the World and the third is The Easter Story. I've tried to make it applicable to all by making the quiz fun and informative rather than pursuing a religious ideal, however I did think it important that we look at why Easter is such an important religious festival whether we celebrate it in that way or not. The answer to each question is revealed before moving on to the next question, therefore I would suggest that answers are written on a whiteboard and points allocated accordingly before moving on to the next question. Each question has some supporting information to either explain the answer or to give some further contextual information. The last page has a question that encourages debate, it's not part of the quiz but can fill in some time should it be required. It's entirely at your own discretion. All feedback, positive or negative is gratefully received.

Diff'd lesson on aerobic/anaerobic respiration. Ready for immediate use, ideal for revision/recap.

(1)
This is a complete lesson that needs no preparation other than printing the two activity sheets above for some of your students to use. I used this lesson as a recap for my GCSE PE class after they returned from half term holidays thinking they'd struggle to remember the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. I was right, but this lesson lulled them into remembering and applying their notes in a fun and enjoyable way. I was genuinely surprised by how well the lesson went and how much they learned. Lesson starter is a crossword with all the key terms of the lesson. There are two corsswords, one with a word bank of correct answers and one without to aid differentiation. The power point contains a youtube link to an old Merrie Melodies cartoon of the fable of the Tortoise and the Hare. It's 8 and a half minutes long and makes for an interesting start to the lesson. My students were surprisingly attentive throughout! We then had a debate about how we can link this story to demonstrate respiration and it's effects. Once students start to see the link we can begin with the main activity. Students have to retell the story but using some specific terms that relate to respiration. This task is differentiated in three ways. For the more able students they should write their story in continuous prose. For intermediate students there is the attached short version of the story to remind them or to stick in their book. For low ability students there is a comic strip for them to annotate or add dialogue. Any feedback, good or bad is gratefully received.

This is a series of four worksheets that guide a student through the creation of a character, description, planning and eventually crafting a fairy tale. I would suggest that this is ideal for KS2-KS3 and for low ability students in KS4. Each sheet has tasks to complete with opportunities provided for peer review and teachers feedback. As stated, this can be used immediately as it is self-explanatory, engaging and fun. Students are encouraged to draw a scene from a fairy tale on the first sheet, so drawing equipment should be available. Other than this, all that is required is a pen and a modicum of creativity. I've attached two versions that are identical with the exception that one is saved on publisher and the other is a pdf. You can use this resource over a series of lessons and as part of a whole unit on fairy tales. It has been suggested that a unit could start with some drama, re-enacting fairy tales, creating new ones and use this as the foundation for the work contained herein. Any feedback, good or bad is gratefully received.

This is a power point that looks at many of the events and personalities of 2015 and asks questions about them. The answers are revealed before moving on to the next question. They are in order of the month in which they occurred and , where appropriate, have further interesting , contextual information. This is an ideal resource for returning to school at form time/register or for a fun lesson. To give everyone a chance of success, some questions are multiple choice. Any feedback, good or bad, is gratefully received. Many thanks.

Power point guides students through reviewing the previous year. Students complete 1 of 3 worksheets that asks different questions about the past year (example: Who were your best friends? What could you have done better?) Because the sheets are all different, students won't simply copy their neighbour's information. Following that activity, students move on to looking forward to 2017 and creating resolutions in four fields: School, Home, Health and Happiness. They are requested to come up with specific steps to enable them to better achieve their resolutions. There is a sheet for them to complete accordingly. Finally, we try and emulate this with school targets. It would be ideal if these were available but, if not, it could be set as a homework or an extension task to complete. Again, there is a sheet for students to complete if required. The idea for this was to review the resolutions at regular periods but it would also be nice to keep them all in a folder to get out at this time next year, becoming an ongoing activity and a nice keepsake for students. Many thanks. Any feedback, good or bad is gratefully received.

4 x GCSE PE question sheets. Ideal for a starter, extension task or revision.

Each sheet encourages students to recall information and then use that information to answer a GCSE style question. I have used this successfully with all of my students but I concentrated on my lower attaining students trying to get them to plan their answers rather than just writing what came into their heads. In later revision sessions I used them in conjunction with a stopwatch, timing how long it took students to answer and encouraging them to spend a minute per mark ( a 4 mark question should be completed in 4 minutes). Because there are 4 sheets, each student can work on a different one to their neighbour and although they can share information, they wont be able to directly copy. If possible, please leave feedback, good or bad as it helps with any future resources I provide. Thanks you.

You can run this activity over a number of days or as one longer activity. There are over 50 questions that need to be cut out and folded over and an answer sheet. Each student picks a question and then answers it on their sheet. The questions are all personal and are designed to reveal a little about their personal history, their thoughts and their interests. Once complete, they return their questions and pick another. This can be done alternatively in pairs where the first student would ask their neighbour the question and write down their response so that they are learning about their classmate. The next question has to be asked to someone else and their sheet completed thereby getting to know other people too. This information can be used for a class display or a quiz based upon their classmates or just for fun to look at the following year. Sample questions: What is your favourite photo? If you could invent anything, what would it be? Some questions are closed questions, try and get students to expand upon a "Yes," or "No," answer.

Over 100 slides of questions related to the PE GCSE course. Once the slideshow has begun, the slides will play at super speed and are stopped by the pressing the "S" key. The presentation will stop and a question will be visible. The questions are a variety of styles including: True or False Multiple Choice Missing letters Etc. The quiz can be run in a number of ways but I found it best to have students in teams and then, when the question has been selected, you can nominate someone from that team to answer therefore ensuring the student has a question matched to their ability.

This is a powerpoint with 100 statements. Students decide whether the statement is True or False. Can be used as a form quiz or group activity. Each statement has it's own slide and the correct answer highlights itself upon the click of a button. There are further explanatory statements on some slides. Due to the size of the resource it can be completed over a period of time or in one big session. A variant that I have used is dividing the room into two sides ( True/False ) and have students move to the side they think is correct. Those who get it wrong are out. Last man standing wins. All feedback, good or bad, is gratefully received.

Multiple choice questions with contextual facts attached. (5 questions) Round 3: Fill in the blanks. The witches spell from Macbeth has five words missing. What are they? Round 4: History. 5 multiple choice questions on the origins and traditions of Hallowe'en. Round 5: Fear. 10 True or False questions based on unusual fears.

This means that, if you're keeping score, this should be done as the quiz is ongoing. I would utilise whiteboards for the kids to write down their answers and display them either individually or as a group.

There are two resources here. The first is an activity book featuring a wide range of activities that encompass geography, history, literacy and numeracy. It's activities include art based tasks as well as creative writing and researching facts. One of the sheets looks like a duplicate but it isn't, it is a higher level sheet for the more able. You can hand out the sheets individually, compiling them at the end of the project or put them all together at the start to create a resource that students work through at their own pace. Included is a team generator on powerpoint which is operated by pressing play and then stopped and started with the 'S' key. This has been adapted from my previous resource on the FIFA World CUP which was downloaded 2703 times, had a 5 star rating and was selected by the TES team for their Secondary newsletter.
