I strongly believe in mass, active participation and my resources will reflect this. Differentiation is also key to my teaching. The most important factor in my teaching is always fun! I have observed well over 100 lessons and I am confident which resources can be used to enhance learning.

This is a PowerPoint presentation that could be used in class and for a school assembly. Your children will enjoy the story and it will hopefully help them make better decisions afterwards. Enjoy!

This is a wonderfully simple resource that is great for target setting. I use this for Maths and Writing and stick it on the inside of both books. Each half term, I set two new targets that are specific to the individual child. One target sheet for the whole year!
This three week planning unit covers a range of activities and objectives. I have included the planning, PowerPoints and Success Criteria templates. This could easily be adapted for Years 2-5. I am currently using it for Year Three and the children have very much enjoyed the unit. At the end of the three week unit the children will write their own version of Flat Stanley using the Powerpoint and Success Criteria as an aid.
All documents and PowerPoints can easily be edited to suit you needs.
Enjoy!
Add the child's name, add their targets and laminate. The children can place the target card on their work each day. Every teacher needs a resource like this.
Each Week I ask my class a Maths riddle. You will find three riddles a week for 21 weeks. Sometimes my class receive the riddle on day one of the week and are still going on day 5! The children really enjoy trying to solve each riddle and so do some of the other teachers! Have fun with it and share it with your colleagues at work. I use it with Years 2 and 3. Enjoy!
*** Alternative use for World Math Day ***
Print out all of the muddles and stick them around the school. Stick them on the walls, in the canteen, library, basically anywhere that the children will visit throughout the day. The children really enjoy it and it brings the whole day to life! Enjoy!
This PowerPoint has a wide range of Comprehension and Reading ideas that can used for children of any age. I use them each week and the children enjoy them very much. Download the PowerPoint and begin using them straight away. Enjoy!
This is a fun interactive PowerPoint presentation that can easily be edited to suit any International/UN week assembly or class challenge. The children can move one rectangle at a time to reveal part of a flag. The flags can be changed be changed. The children will really enjoy taking part in the this activity. Enjoy!
World Maths Day: (These are resources used in a UK school, but they can be easily adapted)
You will be able to download three main resources in this folder.
Maths Riddles - These can be sent to children throughout the day or cut out and stuck around the school for the children to solve.
Maths Challenges - There are two challenges for each year group that should be completed throughout the day. They can be easily edited to suit your school context.
Maths Assembly - This PowerPoint Presentation can be used in a variety of ways, although I have used it in the past for whole school assemblies. At the end of World Math Day I normally lead a whole school assembly where all children in the school bring a small whiteboard and have to answer the set questions. Last year I even turned this into an interhouse Math competition by choosing one child from each house to stand at the front of the hall and answer the questions. You can be as creative as you like, but this assembly presentation will be a fun, interactive way to begin or end your World Math Day activities. Enjoy!
Great to use for the start of a new topic. Includes animations, pictures and will promote questioning.

This is a Who Wants to be a Millionaire themed assembly to teach the children about resilience. Each question is linked to the theme resilience, and after each correct question they receive a letter. We call it 'Who want to win a word?' I have also included a story that can be used to support the assembly and a video link to further enhance the message being shared. The assembly time will be around 20-25 minutes and if you want to impress your colleagues and ensure the children have a fun, interactive learning experience, then this assembly presentation is for you. This presentation is completely editable, which will allow you to make slight changes to suit your context.

This 2 page document is to allow your children to have a 'Pupil Voice' and comment on what they enjoy about school. Older children should be able to complete this independently, whereas Key Stage One students will need adult support. I usually send this document out to students once per year.I have also used it alongside the school Student Council. Enjoy!
Promotes great discussions and can easily be adapted to suit any school. I have left two slides on at the end, which are a fun way to share the weekly house point totals. Enjoy!

This is a lovely resource which will prepare your children for Sports Day and will teach them all about Teamwork, Resilience and trying ones best. This could also be used at the beginning of a PSHE lesson. The resource has been adapted from a famous story about 'The Tortoise and the Hare'. Enjoy!
This Powerpoint was created to celebrate International Day at our school. In the Powerpoint there are images and a fun 'Family Fortunes Game'. There is also well over 40 flags and audio files to celebrate the different countries around the world. The Powerpoint has 51 slides and this Powerpoint will be a great addition to your International Day activities/assembly.

This PowerPoint can be easily adapted to suit an Olympic Games Parade.
This 13 page document was created for my Year Three parents. In the information booklet you will find strategies and tips on how parents can help their children at home. Whatever school you are in, parents will appreciate this document and it will be a great marketing tool for you as a teacher and for the school. I have left it as a word document, so that you can adapt it for your context. It can be easily adapted for children for Years 1, 2 and 4. Enjoy!

This is a fun, interactive game that promotes active participation and can be easily differentiated. It would be great for an observation! On each slide a question appears on the screen and all the children have to think about the answer. After 6-8 seconds a name flashes across the screen and that child should shout out the answer. The children love this game and you should all give it a go! Tip - Repeat a child's name, so that they never know when their name will appear. It will be one of the best Maths warms up you will ever do!
A simple resource that the children created at the beginning of the year. The rules of the class spell the word 'SMART'. A free resource that you easily edit for your children.
