The all-new Homeworkopoly mega display. The perfect way to get your pupils completing their homework every week, or you can edit the display and make it a ‘readingopoly’ to change the focus for your classroom.
After the pupils complete their homework they can roll a die and when they land on a Community Lunchbox they can do something nice, for example sitting on the teacher’s chair. If they land on Chance then they are given random tasks like teaching the class something at the end of the day. Landing on a Brain Binder will give them a riddle, or a grammar or maths questions they need to answer. All of these cards are fully editable so they can perfectly suit your class.
Included in the download is a zip file with PDF versions of everything you’ll need: the board itself, a rule sheet, name pieces, the Homeworkopoly sign, Brain Binder, Community Lunchbox and Chance cards. In addition, it comes with fully-editable .pub versions and for those of you with Macs that can’t open .pubs there are also fully-editable Word documents.

A full guided reading unit of seven lessons all about newspapers. This unit will cover the differences between tabloids and broadsheets, facts and opinions and the features of newspapers.
Lesson 1: Like all the guided reading planning on Class Helper, the first lesson is a knowledge harvest. In this lesson the pupils will mindmap their associations with newspapers and any features they know.
Lesson 2: We look into the features of newspapers in detail and look at the contrasting differences between tabloids and broadsheets.
Lesson 3: In this lesson, we’re focusing on digital newspapers and answering one mark mock Sats questions on the provided article.
Lesson 4: Building a wide vocabulary is key within Class Helper’s guided reading planning and in this lesson pupils will underline adjective in a film review and use thesauruses to find synonyms and antonyms.
Lesson 5: Focusing on the photographs and captions used in newspaper articles, in this lesson pupils will create their own drawing to match the article.
Lesson 6: What’s more fun than one lesson of Sats questions? Yes, two! And two is the keyword as this lesson focuses on two mark questions. The text in this lesson looks at a typical tabloid article.
Lesson 7: The final lesson in this guided reading unit looks at the difference between fact and opinion. Pupils have a worksheet with different statements about the given article and they need to work out whether the statements are fact or opinion, and back up their answer using quotations.
The download includes fully editable Word document success criteria, texts for each lesson, PowerPoints and a unit plan for guidance.

This is the first lesson in a six-lesson unit of whole class guided reading which focuses on war poetry from World War 1. Perfect for KS2 (I personally delivered these lessons to my class of years 5/6). Individual lessons are priced at £1 but the full unit of lessons is only £4.
Each lesson includes all the resources ready to deliver a fantastic session: a PowerPoint presentation (with difficult language already explained), any worksheets or texts needed for the children and differentiated Success Criteria! Also, remember that all PowerPoint presentations can be opened using ActivInspire (send me a message if you need help exporting the file!)
The unit will cover the following areas:
Lesson 1 - discussing the genre and predicting the features of the poems
Lesson 2 - summarising the events in Wilfred Owen’s 'Dulce et Decorum Est’
Lesson 3 - pupils will take learning into their own hands and study one of Siegfried Sassoon’s famous war poems: ‘How to Die’, ‘Suicide in the Trenches’ or ‘Absolution’
Lesson 4 - in this lesson, the class will be comparing the poems they’ve already read with Jessie Pope’s pro-war poem ‘The Call’. This is a great lesson for discussions on the themes of pro and anti-war poetry! The questions are scaffolded with the sentence stems provided for their answers
Lesson 5 - for a different twist on the theme, this lesson will be looking at Ted Hughes’ ‘Platform One’ and the children will be visualising the poem by drawing key scenes from it
Lesson 6 - one final look at the work of Wilfred Owen and the fantastic ‘The Sentry’. Pupils will develop their ability to skim, scan and close-read by working out if the statements are true or false
