Used in teaching the Anglo-Saxons, this abridged version of Beowulf focuses on making the story just as exciting as the original without taking 3 weeks to read. This text can be read in one session, or over the course of a few days, dissecting each part of the story.

6 posters all with examples of different linguistic writing features, ready to display in any Primary or English classroom. Including things such as metaphors, similes, personification and alliteration, they are a great visual aid to have in the room to remind children what the features are and consolidate their understanding of them.

Includes 2 work sheets for children with EAL or SEN. Children need to match the cut out gingerbread men with the digits on to match to the Gingerbread board that shows the pictorial representations of the numbers. This encourages subitising and supports children in linking the digits to the amount from 1-10. The second sheet focuses on children matching and learning the names of the different shapes. Children will need to cut the shapes out and match them to the named reindeer shapes above. Both worksheets are a great starter activity or full lesson together when combined. Both encourage independent working and are linked specifically to the Standard 4 of the Pre-Key Stage standards.

A5 posters to decorate any classroom, with writing features on them with examples taken from different Harry Potter books. We have these up in my classroom and use them as a tool during lessons, and the children are used to using them as a reminder for the different grammatical elements they will need for writing and for their SPaG tests. Visual learning and reminders are a great way to enhance that sticky knowledge we want our children to have. Having concrete reminders on the wall are a brilliant way to give children ownership of their own learning. Harry Potter is always a fun and engaging way to reach the children too.

Halloween poster with french vocabulary. Great for displays around the room to be on theme, also links nicely with any work you are doing around Halloween.

This wavy checkerboard design is a great edition to any working wall. We use it specifically from year 4 - year 6 to consolidate children’s knowledge of times tables and multiplcation. It is good to use when skip counting, or going through times tables with children. Visuals are a brilliant way to get children to know more and remember more. Seeing the patterns of the numbers will help children to remember and understand how times tables work.

Pokémon coat peg labels, my year 4 class love theirs! I have also used it for equipment tray lables too.

I use this alphabet British Sign Language display to support children’s letter formation as it is written in cursive, as well as helping to support an inclusive classroom.

This bookmark I use with my students so they can track which books they have read throughout the year. Since I have started using the bookmarks in the classroom, there’s been a noticeable improvement in the children wanting to read more so they can write the names of the books and colour the shelves of the bookmark on. The back has an editable name slot so they are easy to identify. I print them onto card, and they are used throughout the year.

I made this smart board and corresponding booklet unit of work for my year 4 class last year. I used it again this year and made some adjustments to it as needed. Electricity is such a fun topic for children and this booklet and smart allows them to combine their knowledge of electrical circuits with design elements. There are work sheets included for a whole term as well as a brief smart too. We used it to build their knowledge gradually of circuits, and then how to properly draw a circuit and add buzzers, motors and lights. It all culminated in a final design project where they needed to follow a specification of a house that needed a doorbell, light bulb and a switch! They absolutely loved this and it is also a National Curriculum requirement for this year group.

Anglo-Saxon and Vikings lesson linked to the National Curriculum for KS2 - the Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom of England to the time of Edward the Confessor. This lesson focuses on answering the question, “Did Alfred the Great deserved to be called ‘Great’?” The interactive smart board takes you step by step through the lesson as well as using partner talk and reminding children of key events in the Viking/ Anglo-Saxon struggle. Children will need to look at sources that you could put around the room, or on their tables. They will fill in the grid and answer questions about each source such as, “What is it?” and “What information can we learn from it?” At the end of the lesson the whole class will have a discussion about source bias before deciding whether Alfred the Great was truly Great? Focuses on 2 key historical skills - Understand methods of Historical enquiry and gather Historical data from various sources.

Lesson to support KS2 National Curriculum History Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom after Edward the Confessor’s death. The smart board begins with a quiz in prior knowledge of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. The children will then evaluate whether Edward the Confessor was a good king or a bad king by sorting through the different points as a group. This activity is included in the bundle. Finally, the children look at the 4 different claimants to the English thrown. 1 child will be each claimant and read the synopsis provided about that King. The rest of the class use the grid to evaluate which claimant is best suited to the role of King of England. It uses Historical skills such as understanding bias, revising previously taught knowledge and evaluating the different claimants to the thrown.

This ‘Forgetful Santa’ booklet aims to support vocabulary acquisition of everyday items such as hats, boots, gloves as well as different colours. The children go through the booklet and identify what Santa has forgotten, and fill in the blanks for the sentence “Santa has forgotten his…” The final page includes extra fill in the blank sentences about Santa as well as space for children to experience writing their own sentences about Santa. This includes a word bank to support the children to work independently. I have used this booklet when there is no TA timetabled for my lesson, or as a starter for children with SEN or EAL while I deliver the input of the main lesson before going to support these children with their work. It has been created so that all you need to do is print the document, and then arrange it in the order of the numbers on the bottom of the page. It is an easy booklet to collate, and then just slip the word bank within in for safe keeping.

This class reward system is placed somewhere the children can easily see and the teacher can access. Each time a petal is earned, the children are one step closer to their reward. They need to earn 10 petals in total and the rewards are chosen by the teacher and the children together. The editable middle section of the flower can be chosen by together and then placed in the middle of the flower. Each time the children work as a whole class (e.g listening well, working as a team, being ready, respectful and safe etc) the teacher adds a petal. The visual is a fantastic aid for all children to work as a team and encourages everyone in the class to work together. I have used this for a few years in an inner-city school and it has fantastic results and makes for a purposeful and productive classroom environment.

A Top Trumps based card game testing children’s knowledge of fractions of amounts. With 18 different cards featuring different Marvel Avengers heroes and villians, children will use these cards to play a game of Top Trumps. Each card has 3 different categories. Children will take it in turns to chose a category to compete against. For example, if one child chooses intelligence, they will both try to solve the fraction of amount question in that category. The child with the highest number, wins the other child’s card. The ultimate winner is the person who collects all the cards. Children love this game and it’s a great lesson to do once the children have learnt the basics of finding a fraction of an amount. There’s no need for extra prep and it keeps the children engaged throughout.

Children will take it in turns to chose a category to compete against. For example, if one child chooses intelligence, they will compare the two fractions and have to convert the different denominators to find out which is bigger. The child with the largest fraction wins the other child’s card. The ultimate winner is the person who collects all the cards. Children love this game and it’s a great lesson to do once the children have learnt the basics of converting different denominators to compare fractions.

A display to support telling the time, perfect for any Maths working wall. All you need to do is print it, laminate and cut it and then add a split pin to the clock hands to make it interactive. It comes with time cards to decorate around the edge and show the different times, e.g 5 past, 10 past ect. The clock edge is also split into 60 to show how time is counted in 60 minutes. I use this with my class with conjunction with our White Rose time unit, but also throughout different lessons and to get the children to go and change the time on the interactive clock. For example, I might ask one child to set the clock to lunch or home time and then we look at how we know they are correct or how to help them to get it right.
