An Iron man opener resource with written example for the class to read also ! They found this very useful for a lead in ! Plenary attached also to evaluate their own work - do find it of some use !
Grandma warning poem to revise word classes and a fun way to build upon earlier learning with accompanying activity sheet within the PPT a great resource and is appealing to all Year 3,4,5 and 6 children I have worked with this !
A super stand alone activity !
The Iron Man by Ted Hughes English and other topics bundle ! Ideal for any teacher who as either never taught the story before or a more experienced teacher looking for some fresh ideas to teach this - I have also done this with a Year 5 class !
Although this bundle is mainly English and Guided reading related there a couple of topic bits that would certainly fit Geography, Art or DT !
This includes at least 3 Big write lessons that would work either stand alone or a couple of days before to build up to as well as a lesson called Ask it which I did as a lead in for the first lesson on this topic which got the children asking a range of questions about a short piece of opening text which was used in addition to the BBC short animated clip on the Iron man also - this was used to great success ! In addition to leveled comprehension questions that once popped into books show progression over time in both guided reading and English books. I believe this to be a great bundle of resources in order to hit the ground running ! Any queries etc do message away - The kids and SMT did like the structure within these lessons and activties here !
Perseverance assembly - Climbing a mountain
This is an assembly of mine I did to all of Key Stage 2 over 200 children in the hall to talk to them about the idea of Perservance and what this meant and was all about - the opening slide is a video one and I got them to try and guess the title of the assembly as they came in and watched it - the other slides are for points on discussion and information in regard to this and resilience also - this went very well and the children did get the message !
National Curriculum Grids for all years resource excel Spreadsheet for all primary school years covering the core subjects reading writing and maths and all the objectives - all excellent way of seeing what you have to cover in all years and is helpful when teaching mixed aged classes.
This is my bible and I must use this everyday in planning and assessment and I use it as a great go to ! I wish I had this when I was training !
The Iron Man comprehension with set activties for the children to work through - Activty 1 is for the less able children Activity 2 and 3 for the rest are open ended activities
I found it went very well and can be used as either a reading lesson or English lesson - good for the children to think about the answers at Year 3,4 and 5 ! Enjoy !
A great Powerpoint to aid revision and work on and learn similes as a class - fantastic with year 4 but could be adapted for year 2 and go up as high as year 7 ! Went really well ! With activties also - do enjoy !
Resource and lesson stand alone to help with the writing of speech with attached resources also - reminders of how and when to punctuate and coloured activties for children at different levels - enjoy !
A Stand alone piece of descriptive writing - Big Write style based on a
fairground - sounds and video within this and an example piece of writing to improve
Year 6 thought this was very helpful as it addressed all the senses and the basic example they all could verbally improve and write then to greater depth - A good stand alone lesson !
Guided reading question card - ideal for guided reading to use as a prompt sheet or for the children to write up as guided reading questions - this would suit 7-11 age group and just laminate them and you can use them time and again
Great resource particularly for independent learning also
Embedded clause lesson ideal for year 5 and 6 and geared to children of all abilities with clear progression ! Ideal for the first teaching of this and as a class - Super progression from the activty sheets also - The headteacher gave me good with outstanding for this lesson ! Enjoy and use as you see fit !
Spag starter ideal for coming into lesson to from break and lunch and can be edited and amended as necessary !
For Year 5 and 6 (and below) this was a great way to start the lesson as it was engaging and straight away got the kids to think and be active !
Stand alone Modal verb lesson ideal for year 5 and 6 in the run up to SPAG work and general English and grammar lessons
A great and child friendly resource !!!
Semi colon activity and powerpoint lesson combined- ideal for Years 5 and 6 English lessons and worked very well as a standard alone grammar lesson to aid childrens learning - progression within the lesson also here through staged activities
There`s a Pharoah in our bath - continue the story stand alone lesson as a powerpoint with then levelled pieces/colours for the children to work on to write a continuation - Great book for Y3 and Y4 to study and hopefully this should get some good writing for you - A starter activty also built into this to start the lesson on word classes
Pack of word class cards - ideal for the children to practice and revise key word classes - ideal for spag practice and revision generally throughout the school year with display also here- I got the class to write the particular word on the word class display sheet to create and add to the working wall - A great and invaluable resource and suitable for all year groups for Key Stage 2 in addition this can be used across school and particularly helpful for year 2 !
Enjoy and any questions etc do be in touch !
A whole stand alone lesson on compound sentences with word resources to show progress over a lesson - The inspector said he liked the lesson !
It is a well paced Powerpoint then explains clearly to KS 2 the use of a compound sentence and how to use them - they then put this into practice by using the activities within the attached word document
This took a 50 minute lesson and all children accessed this really well - I have done this to years 4,5 and 6 and it has worked well - I hope you find it of use either for a lesson or revision tool
A great Spag revision tool that will work with any age group from Year 3 to Year 6 ! Ideal to embed learning !
Information on word classes through the poem and then completed workheets to revise them further still with creative progress to make and design their own ! All the children I have used this on have really enjoyed it and learnt a great deal ! Any questions do ask away !!
There`s a Pharoah in our bath themed lesson 1 - ask it game style lesson ideal for an introduction to the text and topic of Ancient Egypt - easily accessible and a fantastic resource for anyone new to this book ! Do look at my other resources on this as this is great short book but will do for a half term or beyond !
