Differentiated writing task on what role you want to have when you grow up. I've used this as a homework, literacy and IPC task. A great into for a new class or for an intro into a topic about different jobs.

Example of write up and the evidence I used to show I had met each teaching standard while completing my teacher training. Great to use for ideas while for your teacher training or performance management targets.

This resource includes the script and 2 powerpoints for an assembly. Was originally for a year 5 class but can be adapted for any ks2 class. The first powerpoint includes opportunities to add photos of your own class and some cross curricular lessons, such as mummifying apples in Science and Egyptian movement in PE. The second powerpoint is a an ‘Egyptian’ version of Who Wants to be a millionaire. My school LOVED this assembly. Enjoy :)

Hilarious and fun script all about Robin Hood and Nottingham. Written for KS2 and beyond. Great to use as a class play or assembly based on a literacy topic. Enjoy!

Assembly script based on the classic Aesop’s Fable; The Tortoise and The Hare. It focuses on encouraging kids to work hard and not to compare themselves with others. It has speaking parts for 30 children and includes some use of background music. This can be used for any class year 2 and up. It’s a fun assembly, hope you enjoy it :)

I tend to put these at the end of certain topics or units or work but I have given them to colleagues who use them at the front of the book or to inform parents evening. They include year 1 targets for literacy and maths. I’ve also left a blank template for lesson specific tables. I really recommend children using their own hands for thumbs up, down, sideways as self assessment t the end of lesson first so they can understand the concept. My kids found this easy to grasp and fun. Enjoy :)

Fun quiz with 4 rounds short rounds; 1. Lock down facts 2. Name That Celebrity 3.Happy Lock down Stories 4.Photo Challenge. You can play this on zoom with your children, one round per day or all in one go. You could also use this a welcome back in assembly or with your class. It’s a fun, positive way to talk to the children about how our world has dealt with the current virus. It was made for 5 primary use but is definitely suitable for secondary also. Enjoy :)

A series of differentiated sentence building activities focused on word class. These include articles, adjectives, verbs, nouns, subjects, adverbs, conjunctions and prepositions. The aim of the activity is to encourage children to see patterns in word classes and how they are organised within a sentence. This can be completed as self directed learning, in pairs, as an* assessment* or a homework. For my lower ability students I often print example sentences jumbled up and ask the children to sort the words into the correct classes using the table. For my* higher ability* I have let them take a sentence from a book, create table and then ask them to continue the pattern creating their own sentences. It is a great way to let the children play with words. They have even came in handy when creating plans for stories. Enjoy!

A really fun, interactive quiz is aimed at older children or to be used as an assembly on this special day. It’s got a range of information, photos and interesting facts. Everyone should learn a little more about Saint Patrick’s history and how celebrating him has changed over the years. There are 3 rounds; 1. Saint Patrick Facts 2. True or False 3. Saint Patrick’s Day Hope this activity saves you some time :)

A fun little powerpoint with very cheesy St. Patrick’s Day jokes. I would use this with the kids in my class as well as a whole school assembly. Appropriate for year 2 and above :)

Assembly script based on the ‘Twas the night before Christmas’ poem. The script comprises of 30 parts.The teacher or Teaching Assistants should narrate while the class act it out through mime or dance. Santa is the only speaking part, which could be covered by a teacher too. The script is extremely adaptable and funny. The original poem was wordy so it’s been altered slightly, but is sure to bring tears, laughter and Christmassy joy.

Fun introduction to 6 of the Greek Gods (Athena, Poseidon, Aphrodyte, Hades, Hestia, Zeus) and the myth of Medusa and Athena. This was incredibly fun to perform and involves embarrassing some teachers too…which kids and parents love to see. Lines for 30 pupils and costume ideas. Approriate for ks2 + Enjoy :)

14 images and song titles. Cut and laminate each them put them into a box or bag, shake it up and allow the children to choose one to sing at the end of the day. I've done this activity with every year group upto y2 and they loved the independence of choosing the song. Also great for EAL kids to develop language skills with the rest of the class.

Display this powerpoint at the end of a lesson. It shows symbols used for self assessment and a range of sentence starters for pupils to record in their books for both self and peer assessment. The sentence starters are general and should be applicable to all subjects. Saves a lot of time rather than recording red pen questions for individual children.

Short differentiated checklist of the punctuation needed to be learnt at the end of year 1. Assesses the pupils formation, understanding of the punctuation use and ability to put it into a sentence. LA children may need to be supported, but the rest of the class can complete this independently. Also a great task to complete at the start of year 2 to check how much the children have retained from year 1.

A list of ways to incorporate dance and drama into your curriculum; including a range of games, starters and books which have excellent cross curricular links. Can be adapted throughout the key stages.

Simple y2 targets, I send these home with parents at the start of the year and also circle two from each column during parent's evenings for parents to work on at home. I stick a copy of each at the from of my children's books at the start of the year so they know my expectations for them by the end. In order to track their targets we highlight each box as s the achieve it, you can also stick a star on it and date it each time you are aware the target has been achieved. This has made my life so much easier!

Class assembly/play script linking the 80's topic to the classic Hansel and Gretel Tale. It has a comedy theme and was a great stimulus for writing alternative endings to the Hansel and Gretel story. Appropriate for year 2 to year 6. Enjoy-my kids loved this assembly and even made tie-dye t-shirts for their costumes (it covered both a science and art lesson).

Assembly script about the history of the Olympics and a brief history of Eric Liddell's story. The script is appropriate for year 1 to 6.

Colour coded assessment work sheet. Appropriate for all of primary school, but particularly nice to introduce self/peer assessment to KS1. I did this half termly in KS1 and stuck into into their books and after random lessons with ks2.
