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!
Three whole weeks of Christmas themed morning challenges
(otherwise known as early morning activities, class starters, welcome work etc.)
There’s a mix of Maths and English questions.
Maths include: Shape, graphs, addition etc.
English includes: Poetry, creative writing etc.
Hi there!
Here is a resource for Year 4/5 science 'switches in a circuit'

Let me know if I can provide anything else for you!
Enjoy teaching,

Hi there,
Here's some of this week's planning for play scripts. It's an often forgotten text type, but is helpful for many reasons.
I used this blank iphone template for children to separate who is saying what in a piece of text in order to prep them for writing a play script this week. I hope it works for you!

COVID-19 has flummoxed us all, and it is vital that we ensure none of the children in our care get left behind in any facet of English language learning. This Recovery Curriculum document outlines key, end-of-year expectations for Year 3 in line with the National Curriculum strands for English.
In this document, Year 2 expectations are included in the left-hand column and act as prerequisites to tick off before a child moves on to the Year 3 expectation. This acts as a net to catch any gaps that may have manifested due to the time off in lockdown during the academic year of 2019-2020.
How do I use this product?
I will be sticking these into the back of the children’s books and ticking them off when completed.
They could also be assigned to a child digitally to save on paper and needless touching of joint resources.
Alternatively, these could be used holistically for an entire class, or for emerging, expected & exceeding groups.

Hi there!
Here's another lesson pack for you, this time with map reading and using grids in Maths and Geography.
The Thursday's lesson is pretty intense- it involves a geocaching type event, with the class hunting around the playground using their own map of the playground that they have gridded up.
Only thing you'd need to do is provide a map of your playground, or even classroom.
LO's, success criteria and learning outcomes outlined.
Lots of activities!
Enjoy!

Hi there,
Here's a big pack of two-way differentiated mental maths questions.
Our school calls them '10 for 10' questions, but this is easily editable on all worksheets.
They focus on age related expectations in Maths, and each week has a different focus.
Some of these focuses include:
Finding 1/2 mentally
Finding 1/4 mentally
Subtracting
Adding
+ and - involving money
3D shape properties
Times Tables practicing etc.
I hope this helps.
If you need anything, please message and I shall fix/assist as soon as I get the message.

In this small resource pack, you will receive an A3 sheet on which the children must add their own pictures and drawings. There’s a list of tasks down the right side, and the Learning Objective is clearly outlined at the top of the page.
If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to contact me directly and I can help you any way you need.

**Distance Learning project based on JK Rowling’s new book, The Ickabog. Children work through a 5-day project with 14 pages of activities focused on apostrophe use within Chapters 5 & 6. **
This resource can be used in the classroom or electronically! -
JK Rowling has published her new children’s book, The Ickabog, online for everybody to enjoy whilst at home.
She is also hosting an illustration competition for children to design her characters and setting- the winners will be published with the book in November 2020!
This project’s focus is on the use of apostrophes for contraction and possession, and the 5-day booklet breaks down these skills in multiple ways. Children will have to recognize apostrophes for contraction and for both singular and plural possession; additionally, they will use both types in their own sentences, recognize mistakes and explain why apostrophes are used.
Included in this download:
PDF version of the Chapter 5 & 6 Home Learning project
Editable .docx Word document version of the project
External links to illustration competition & chapters
