Hi! I currently work in London as a Deputy Headteacher. I love all things teaching and learning! I am extremely passionate about education and find researching and creating new strategies and ideas exciting. The world of teaching and leading in England is highly stressful and it's up to all of us to look after each other's well-being...I hope my resources save you some precious time.

Report Statements General and Targets

Just to use for ideas. I have copied and pasted the last, general comment that I used on the end of year report to parents. Might just give NQTs a few ideas if you're stuck. They are generally very positive in line with the expectations of my current school. Also some general strengths and targets (again which my current report form asks for). Sorry it&'s slightly patchy - it&';s done for my class and their levels.

Pages for children to make a book

Pages for children to make a book

(9)
Slightly different pages for children to make a book, we are reading Elephant and Bad Baby - now the children are going to create their own book with a similar story. So we have photocopied these pages (double-sided) so children can use as many or as few as you wish. At end of lesson children created a really attractive, eye-catching front cover and wrote a blurb. May take several lessons. Can be used for a lot of other subjects. Hoping it saves you some time.

Sentence doctor

I created a surgey role-play area within my classroom and linked it with Literacy. The children can dress as a doctor or nurse and then 'mend' the sentences. We have a big box with all of the 'poorly' sentences in, children pick one out and write the sentence on the sheet correcting VCOP. Some sentences for BA, some for A and some for AA.

Write a description of jungle in The Tin Forest

Write a description of the tropical jungle in the lovely book, The Tin Forest. Brilliant for use of adjectives. Sheet comes with writing checklist that can be adapted depending on lesson focus. Also there is a leaflet for comparing the two different settings. Our audience and purpose was that the old man has found a wife. She wants to live in the tin forst as she thinks it's easier to manage, he wants to live in the jungle as he waited for so long for something to grow. Please leave a review/comment if you like the resource...Thank you!
