Hi all,
This is just something I whipped up on word to accompany my vocabularly teaching. I use Jane Considine’s “The Write Stuff” approach but I like to have something visual on my working wall as a reminder to focus on word choice for meaning and effect. I print these as the paint selection ones from DIY stores are great for individual use but are too small for display. I write words on with a black permanent marker for my working wall. I hope you find them useful or save you a few minutes instead of making them from scratch.
Please let me know how you use them by tagging me on Instagram @Misshb_teacher xo
I think it is of great importance to discuss these values with learners so they know what they look like, you can address misconceptions and really set the tone for the classroom atmosphere.
These slides have lots of discussion prompts with follow up exercises of drawing and writing sentences about these school values as well as a game at the end for pupils to demonstrate what these expectations look like in action.
8 slides, approx 45 minutes of activity.
You can adapt as you need.
These are slides prepared to teach mental strategies to Year 5 pupils. I have used a selection of materials aligned with Whiterose but mixed with some of my own creations. I find it easier to teach from my own slides rather than WR as the individual clicks drive me mad. There is some slow paced strategy-practise and then some more fast-paced problem solving, all building towards independence.
I use this very simple template with 30 marbles to collect for my classes to earn a half-termly treat. I’ve always found other templates have way too many marbles to earn or too few. 30 is perfect for a half-term as there are rougly this many school days. I give class marbles for whole class working - everyone on task, working as a team, when adults compliment our classroom or transitions - assemblies etc
Hope it is helpful.
I use this to gather a song from every class member and then pull one out of a basket if they have extra time because everyone has been getting on or everyone is working beautifully during an afternoon art lesson. I also may single out a student working really hard and listening well to get their song played.
This presentation is useful for Artist Studies. The voice files may or may not work so you may have to delete them but otherwise its good to go. I may have gone a little wild on the presentation features as this is an upcoming topic for the kiddos so wanted to get in some cross-curricular questions too (perhaps this is helpful, perhaps not). I have directed this work at Paul Cezanne’s still life and use of sketch book to promote resilience, creativity in experimentation and viewpoint - this supports our overall topic.

Here are some pastel coloured sentence starters for Reading. These were recommended by an old mentor. However, I’m unsure where the original idea comes from. I have edited mine slightly so they are smaller - although could be blown up on the photocopier or decreased further to make a table support. Please edit them as you please but tag my instagram @misshb_teacher and show me what you have done with them. Miss HB x
Hello guys,
Here are some pre-made english display letters with a leaf theme. They would go well with a ranforest topic or natural themed classroom. I hope you enjoy.
Thank you

Here is a classroom jobs poster I created. I printed mine as two A4 documents, stuck them together and laminated them. But, this being said, you could have them as individual tickets or perhaps as strips and attach pegs with names on either side. They are flexible and of course the jobs are suited to my setting so you will probably want to edit them. I hope you enjoy. Miss HB x
Hey guys,
Here is the overview of my drawing planning for Year Five drawing. It shows the steps and order that I have organised the unit and therefore may be useful as a starting point for anyone planning in this area. Please enjoy and let me know how you use it.

Hello. This activity is a sorting worksheet for words. The learners use it to sort the relevance or effectiveness of vocabulary in context. For example, when looking at synonyms of the word big, children may generate words but then given the context of space, decide that some words generated are not as effective in this context or relevant so they organise them using the rings.
In this resource, you will find a sheet that can be used as a worksheet and a larger copy for display purposes.
Please show me how you use the resource and or review it. You can also tag me on instagram @missHB_teacher
When creating a working wall, it is essential that students can access the information there. Yes, they aren’t suppose to be polished-perfect spaces but learners must be able to find what they are looking for, otherwise we end up placing more barriers on them trying to access the information they need to help them. These signs support that.
Laminate them or print on card (better for the environment) then add to your working wall. Add examples under the headings throughout the unit to ensure when they get to their final piece, children can write independently and know where to look for reminders of the expected standard.
These working wall headings ensure that learners can access the help they need. Working walls are meant to be made in action and that means they are not always polished-perfect - And that is okay! But we need to ensure learners can access what they need to help them. These headings add a little order to the disorder and mean that when learners are stuck, they know where to look and any barriers to them finding what they need independently are removed.
These can be printed on a4, laminated or use card for a more stable background (and more eco-friendly). Trim them up and stick them on! Voila…
Banners save so much more time that letters! This is super simple printable banner to display in your classroom. Work smarter and not harder as they say!
This is a simple assessment grid which can be used after a lesson or topic. It is great to get children reviewing their own learning and seeing what might be left to cover. Super way to represent pupil voice in anything that you are learning. Enjoy.
This is a full lessons set of slides for Roman Numerals aimed at Year 5 students.
I create my own slides and activities to allow students to better access the worksheet tasks from a well-known maths scheme. This lesson includes arithmetic warm up, a review of previously learned roman numerals, fluency, reasoning and problem solving. Its adaptable so you can add your own photos etc.
A simple visual timetable for KS2. Including a “whoops” to use in case there are last minute changes. Including all core and foundation subjects and a few general daytime activities such as break, lunch, assembly, reading, special events etc.
Please leave a review if you find this useful or comment with any feedback on how to improve this product.
Hi Guys,
This is some pre-made Art Gallery lettering with a splattered paint design. To save the environment a little, you could print this on card instead of laminate it. Card is durable and can be recycled whereas laminated paper cannot.
Please tag me on instagram to show me how you use my resource. I would love to see missHB_teacher.
Thanking you kindly.

This slide deck and accompanying printable is designed to help practice fluency of key facts and curiosity about these facts. The slides take you through some odd one out activities, counting using number stick visuals, spot the missing number, bar models, sentence stems, arrays, worded problems, times table bingo, beat the teacher and a mini quiz. As well as, independent practice using the provided resource sheet.
my ethos is keep it simple. There is ordered and disorder questions, as well as reasoning and problem solving, littered with partner talk, guided and independent work. This lesson is fun, active and a great accompaniment to anyone preparing Year 4 for the Multiplication Check.
