I am the Head Teacher Of Maria International School Of Bucharest in Romania. I am also very keen at developing different TES teaching resources to discover what works well for different classes. I am constantly looking for new and exciting different ways of presenting and teaching different primary topics, especially maths topics.

Hi there . . . !
. . . and welcome to 101 KS2 SATs English Grammar Revision Worksheets! This grammar book perfect KS2 revision material. It’s full of great material for testing your English grammar skills at this level – including question forms, state verbs, phrasal verbs, reported speech, use of articles, error correction, and much more. Many of the worksheets have a special emphasis on using the tenses and structures that you need to practise now, namely past perfect, past perfect continuous, past continuous, present perfect continuous, future continuous, future perfect, and the four conditionals.
This book contains 101 photocopiable worksheets, as well as full answers and notes for use.
This book's original title was Big Grammar Intermediate Book 1. If you have already bought or downloaded this book, please don't buy it again here as you will just be duplicating your purchase.
I have created a PowerPoint presentation combining Paper 1 and the mark scheme so you can ask a question, and immediately see the answer and the explanation. This is great for a wide range of different circumstances. If the students have completed the test this lets the teacher review the paper question by question. It also a great what of revising grammar at the whole class level. Each student shows the answer on whiteboard and then immediately check their answers.
A variety of questions has been included in this sample test to demonstrate the formats and
curriculum content that pupils may encounter in a live test. A commentary is provided in the
mark scheme that accompanies each question.
This sample test mark scheme is provided to give teachers an indication of how the tests will
be marked. The mark schemes for the sample tests have been subject to a shorter process
than the full, rigorous development process that is used for live mark schemes.
The sample test and mark schemes have been reviewed by teachers and other expert reviewers.
I have found a way of making Maths revision a lot more fun. I have combined the official question papers and the official marking schemes into a single document. This means you can ask a question, the students show their answers on mini whiteboards and then as a class, you look at the official answers and look at what the students would have scored. As this is a whole class teaching activity, students can work in pairs or small teams and discuss their ideas and strategies together. This really reduces the level of stress as children are able to build on each others skills.
This teaching resource could be used in the classroom or at home. This teaching resource is a lot of fun and will make a difference to your students attitudes to maths. Keep Maths Fun!
Tell me what you think of this teaching resource in the comments box below!
I have edited Levels 1 to levels 4 so there are now reading questions relating to every slide. I have mixed up all the original Thinking Hat colours and done away with black and white as I had teachers who felt these were not appropriate in a primary classroom and relaunched it all as Thinking Scarves - I hope you like the changes and leave me a nice comment below!
These books are great to share.
Teachers need some fun to. This is my adult colouring book for teachers. You could print it out for your class to quietly colour during tests (when they have completed them to calm and relax them), or during long staff meetings - nothing is more relaxing and constructive than a little light colouring.
This is to encourage staff to have a little time every day to think and reflect and not work. This is my attempt at improving the good life balance of staff.
All these images were in the public domain. In the majority of the cases however, it took both a long time to find, then even longer to use editing software to sharpen and improve the images.
I would love to know what people think of them.
I love to get the students really talking about an issue. I saw another teacher do it and thought that this looks really effective.
My Walk to School Week teaching resources are designed to get the students to think about why we should walk to school, what are the alternatives and the benefits and the costs of walking to school using different modes of transport. They are also designed to get students really talking, listening and expressing their own ideas.
My teaching resources could be printed out and made into an eye catching, thought provoking display or used as a whole class discussion stimulus.
I am now making a new series of resources like this, so that teachers and students can get a lot more out of every lesson.
I have used a wide range of inspirations to create a fun conversation starting lesson about Christian Aid week. This lesson looks at different issues which may be covered in Christian Aid week such as what is war, what is peace, what is a home and how we can help our fellow man, woman and child.
I have started using conversation starters in my own lessons with great effect and I think you will also enjoy using them in your own lessons.
As stated in the presentation, while these resources will help you present your Christian Aid week lessons in class, I have no connection with Christian Aid.
Want to inspire your students? These pictures form the basic parts of a story to get them thinking. The pictures can be simply mixed up to change the story.
The different pictures from the different stories could all be mixed up to create a really interesting mash-up of different stories.
A real challenge is to see if a class can create a whole story from all the different images in the presentation!
The students can take these images and mix them up to create their own stories. There are two different ways of using this resource. You would separate the stories out, as I have done, or simple go wild, print them all out, laminate them and shuffle them and then use them as a starting point for student's own stories. The real challenge is to see if a class can use them all and still make a coherent story!
This is a fun PowerPoint which has different shadows. The students need to name what is making the shadow and also what time of day might this photos have been taken.
It is a nice class warm up or fun end of lesson game.
I wanted to create a fun PowerPoint lesson which focuses on using frequency adverbs and also a few fun maths problems. The children are encouraged to write 20 sentences about their lives using adverbs. They then chat about the likelihood of different events happening in their lives.
I have created a visual version of the Ourselves topic using all the key keywords a student needs to be able to recognise, use and say. It is a perfect way of either creating a instant display or as a warm up, review or revision of a topic. The pictures are colourful and will help to promote conversation in the classroom.
Students love to match words and images. I have taken a vocabulary list for rocks and soils and I have matched the words to beautiful photos which match each feature. This resource for rocks and soils could either be printed off and laminated and made into an nice instant display, or it could be used in the classroom as an introduction, reminder or review of the words used in this topic.
If you are looking for a resource that gets your students talking, then this is a nice resource. It helps students to understand the key features of rocks and soils, their uses, erosion and why we need to take care of them. If you are doing the rocks and soils unit, then this is a great presentation to use!
The Brexit (Britain leaving the EU) - Interesting discussion prompt about how the EU will affect pupils, education and different aspects of their lives. There are no answers. The whole idea is for the students to think about the positive and negative impacts about the referendum.
