This is my medium term plan and a workbook I created about Going for Goals. Loosely based on SEAL for Y3/Y4. Workbook makes sense when used with planning. Enjoy!

I made this senses mat for my year 2 to help them use adjectives when they were describing what their senses explored. Hope it helps. EAL friendly resource.

This is a document we produced to use for our guided reading sessions according to the new curriculum. It splits all curriculum objectives for each year group into: 1. Decoding 2. Comprehension / Retrieval 3. Inference / Relate 4. Language for Effect 5. Themes and Conventions 6. Others Easy to use. One sheet per guided reading group :) Or could be adapted to make student individual booklets.

Here some worksheets which I made when teaching GGM by Roald Dahl to my year 2 class. It is mostly differentiated. Some of it is accompanied by the notebook. Lessons include: - asking questions - comprehension - nouns and verbs (past and present tense) S.P.A.G. teaching - up-levelling activity - character descriptions (including appropriate choice of vocabulary and planning sheet)

Year 2 resource to revise features of reports. We used the report as basis for all our work. First lesson - Cut up report and get children to stick it back together using the features. Second lesson - Work in mixed ability partners and find VCOP in the report's text. Third lesson - Differentiated comprehension questions and cloze for the lower able. Good SATS revision on vocabulary and features to use when writing a report as we have to write about nocturnal animals...

This is a little trail which we put together for our year 2 classes for the space gallery in the London Science Museum. They loved it.

Planning and some activity sheets for non-chronological reports for year 2. Mostly differentiated.

This is the plan and the resources for the 2 Week topic Patterns on a Page. Most resources are provided in the attachment 'poem Sheets' and are differentiated as well and have some resources for EAL. Lessons include: - exploring poetry - performing poetry - finding rhymes - creating poems (with repeating pattern, shape poems, acrostic poems) - 2 poem comprehension lessons and sheets

I use this with all three of my SEN children. On a monday morning they come to school and it's on their desk. They then choose reward/treat for Friday afternoon that they will get if they have mostly ticked all sessions on the timetable for the week. It works really well and can easily be adjusted. Their 1:1 are very good at helping them reflect about their work.

IWB for whole class introduction, also with warm up where children order the vocabulary for addition and subtraction to prepare for 'how many more' etc which is used in data-handling. Then worksheets. Differentiated. Hope even a little EAL friendly.

I created those to use with my Yr 4 - these worksheets are differentiated and all about the Simpsons! Children add apostrophes and re-write sentences using them. Learning objective on the worksheets too. 2 pages per ability.

Here some resources I made for my class for the upcoming UEFA EURO 2016 in France. This pack includes: 1. A two pages long information sheet with facts about the past, this year's games and the mascot. This could be used for research (individually or whole class) when making posters/leaflets etc. 2. A 4 pages long comprehension based on the fact sheet. The text is on the top half of the sheet and questions are below for children to answer. It is differentiated in a higher and a lower comprehension - one with mostly retrieval and one with retrieval and some inference questions. 3. A geography worksheet for mapping countries in Europe that take part. Children can choose 12 countries, find them on the map and make a key. If you wanted to differentiate it, you could print it out twice and fill in the key for one already. I would recommend copying the map on A3 paper to make it easier for children. 4. Maths sheet on bar charts: Children read the table of who was in the final in the past and what their results were and make a bar chart of how many goals were scored in each final throughout the years and answer some challenge questions about it. Differentiated - one is more scaffolded and the bar chart has been prepared, the other needs children to label their own bar chart (differentiated in bar charts going up in 1s, 2s, 5s). There is also another sheet where children choose 5 countries and represent in a bar chart how many times each country has participated in the final. 5. Maths activity on finding all possibilities: Differentiated three ways. Children have the task of designing a new football kit for their favourite country and have to choose three (four) colours. They then find all possible ways of putting a new kit consisting of either shorts and t-shirt or shorts, t-shirt and socks together for their chosen colours. This activity comes with a notebook file to model. 6. This is an activity based on the flags of the participating countries in the EURO 2016 in France. There is one sheet with all the names of the countries and their flags which is followed by 4 activity sheets: 1. Comparing two flags. Children choose two flags, draw them and compare them - what is the same and what is different. 2. Sorting the flags into symmetrical and non-symmetrical. 3. A blank Venn diagram for children to make up their own categories to sort the flags into (if you want to differentiate you could give them the categories). 4. A blank Carroll diagram for children to make up their own categories to sort the shapes into (if you want to differentiate you could give them the categories). 7. Maths - Adding several numbers (single digit, multiples of 10/100 and adding several two-digit numbers - differentiated) using several top UEFA EURO '16 footballers' names printed on the sheet. Enjoy!

I had look at the new curriculum with regards to the phonics that children have to be taught in year 1. From what I can see, it looks like the new curriculum year 1 sounds come mostly from phase 3 and 5 (or the equivalent set 2 and 3 of RML). We decided to use the RML flashcards and rhymes to teach the sounds, so this is a breakdown of what sounds are taught when, sticking to the order in which RML is taught. It goes hand in hand with the flashcards from RML with all the lovely rhymes. I have written down all the sounds for year 1 from the new curriculum but put them in the RML order and added spelling patterns. For 2015/2016.

Made this sheet for my year 1 and 2 team to help them with self-marking and peer-marking in English lessons. I laminated these posters and put them in their table boxes where they can easily use them. Also, as it is very visual, it is suitable for EAL learners.

Resource for children who find it difficult to work independently and 'get stuck'. EAL friendly. Can be laminated. Children tick when they have achieved a certain step / task.

A quick picture comprehension as Easter fun for my Year 2 class. Differentiated two ways but could easily be adapted more by changing the questions. Have fun.

EAL friendly map symbols resource. PDF: Introduce to class that this is a seaside map (slightly adapted) and get them to find map symbols in paris. IWB: Talk about symbols with children. Word Doc: Children can now find the photos for the symbols and the correct words. They match them.

This resource consists of the following six mostly differentiated activities related to the World Cup: Problem-solving lesson with notebook and 3 differentiated sheets. Children design new football kit for their favourite national team consisting of tshirts, shorts (and socks) and find all possibilities of combining them when using 2 (3) colours. Bar chart lesson. Children use data from a Workd Cup table and put it into a bar chart. Differentiated. First bar chart in ones up to 6 and children enter amount of world cups won by different nations. Second bar chart in twos up to 6 and children enter amount of world cups won by different nations. Third bar chart in tens up to 230 where children enter amount of goals scored in world cups for several nations. All bar charts have at least 5 follow-up questions. First two probably more suited to KS1, last one to KS2. Symmetry activity. Children use pictures of flags of all participating teams which are included and sort them into symmetrical and not symmetrical. Included is another sheet on explaining our reasoning - choose two non-symmetrical flags - what would need to be changed so they are symmetrical, explain. Sorting Activity: Children use pictures of flags of all participating teams which are included and sort them using their own criteria into a Venn or Carroll diagram. A quick activity on comparing two flags - how are they the same and how are they different. One activity where children use information on who won the world cup when and put the countries in chronological order by year. One scaffolded sheet and one not scaffolded. All activities attached as word and pdf files in case the word files don’t open properly. For just £1 more, you can get this as well as a comprehension.

This is a resource I made for my year 4 students. There is a below year group/SEN/EAL sheet attached as well as two sets of differentiated questions. The text is printable from the powerpoint.

This is a brilliant comprehension to use in English when talking about harvest as it links to RE. I would recommend it for year 2 and up. It is based on the song Cauliflowers Fluffy which you can find here on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRQEQgyGAGA Here are four differentiated sheets with the lyrics of the songs and questions underneath. Extended level: Retrieval and higher order thinking questions (Why, What does it mean..., Which word tells you that...) Core: Focused more on simple retrieval from the text. Lower Core: Simple retrieval from the text but scaffolded multiple choice for half of the questions. Nurture, SEN, EAL: Using the song and text children read for mening and find colour and adjective used to describe the fruit/veg and draw the harvest basket. PLEASE NOTE: This is only one resource. I also sell a pack of 3 Harvest resources (this one included) for £3.99 - search for 'Harvest Activities' by JennyGodfrey. THANK YOU.
