This is cursive handwriting from the beginning. The first lesson covers the formation of c,a,d,g,o, and the animation in the PowerPoint show demonstrates top and bottom joins; the second lesson covers i,e, and the animation shows how the dot is put on the i after the word has been completed; the third lesson, which builds on the first two, introduces top loops with the letters l.h. Transitions between slides are teacher-controlled, but individual slide content contains conceal/reveal animation. There are PDF versions of the presentations which are intended for display. The PDFs of small cards are for laminating, and can be used in conjunction with the handwriting lines.

60 worksheets aligned to Y5 National Curriculum Objectives. There’s enough here to last for the whole school year, plus extras that can be used for homework or revision. The worksheets have been sorted into 4 folders corresponding to National Curriculum areas of study, and the last section of every worksheet focusses on this. The first sections all consist of number work: place value, arithmetic and fraction/decimal/percentage exercises, which need to be practised throughout the year. In addition to these 4 folders, there is a number lines folder with work on fractions, decimals and positive/negative numbers. There is also a set of worksheets providing further practice on fractions/decimals/percentages, which is an area of difficulty for many pupils. The standard of the exercises is intentionally challenging, and weaker pupils may need to work with adult support. Answer sheets are included in each folder. They provide useful teacher support during introductions when working through problems with children.

A PDF version of the presentation is also available for anyone wishing to avoid the animation. This version would also be useful for producing classroom display material. The unit begins with a general introduction covering the kind of words adverbs modify, and what 4 types of adverbs there are. Each of the other sessions is dedicated to one of the following: adverbs of manner, time, place and degree. Each of the slide sections ends with a 5 question practice slide to facilitate supported group work. Pupil handouts are provided for recording answers to the questions, and each practice slide is linked to an answer slide. After the teaching input, learners move to an independent worksheet activity linked to the day’s focus. The activities vary in type (multiple choice, gapfill, wordsearch etc) throughout the week.

The classroom poster takes things a bit further, by including versions of tenses not covered in the presentation. This is a resource designed for extension work for more able students. Two worksheets provide follow-up practice. Answer sheets are included.

This collection contains sufficient material on multiples and factors to cover several lessons. The material is designed to equip beginners with the skills necessary to work with fractions. The presentation begins with an introductory slide showing how both multiples and factors are related to multiplication tables. It is then divided into two sections so that the teaching of multiples and factors can be treated separately if desired. Slides are advanced manually, but most are animated with conceal/reveal effects designed to encourage class participation in the lesson. Practice slides are included after each section so that learners can work in a supported way with partners or small groups before tackling fully independent work. Pupil handouts are included (a choice of black and white or colour). They have had answers removed so that they can be used as additional practice material. Learners will find them valuable as reference material when working independently in class or at home. The 35 worksheets are graded according to difficulty and organised into sets of five. There are three sets on multiples and four on factors. For the teacher’s reference, each worksheet has a footer showing the range of numbers used in each set. They should provide sufficient work not only for use during lessons, but also for follow-up tasks at home and for revision purposes. Answer sheets are provided.
