I created pictures to help children internalize the text ‘Where The Wild Things Are’ by Maurice Sendak. This is based on Talk for Writing by Pie Corbett. This is targeted at Y3/4 but could be used lower down the school. Children will eventually write their own version, following the format of this book. Took me about 2 hours so will save you a lot of time if you are planning to use this book for Talk for Writing.

1 PSHE lesson based on the book We Are All Born Free: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Children discuss what it means to be a human, what human qualities are, dignity, necessities and human rights. Children research the human rights and then create their own posters based on one human right/a mix of many/their own one. Suitable for use across KS2 / could be adapted for KS1.

First week of lessons based on The Lighthouse from the Literacy Shed. Lessons focus on drama, describing a setting, describing how tension is created and inverted commas. Aimed at Y3/4 but can be adapted.

25 class bookmarks, perfect for an end of year gift. A mixture of male/female bookmarks, each one with a personalised message tailored to the individual (names removed) which you can adapt to suit your class. My class loved these and still use them now, 2 years down the line!

A nice little touch. Print onto paper or card, these are lovely to send home to parents to help build positive relationships and my kids love them too.

A lesson plan which splits the class into 3 groups, each will complete 3 carousel type activities in the 1 hour lesson.

ALL RESOURCES INCLUDED (Base 10 may be useful) This is a whole week worth of lessons on addition and subtraction for Year 3. This PowerPoint covers the fourth week of Block 2 - White Rose. Each daily independent task will be proceeded by the ‘varied fluency’ sections of the White Rose planning, which are pasted into these PowerPoints. The ‘mathematical talk’ sections on the White Rose plans may also be useful. Mild and Spicy will usually be questions for children to complete independently (some support), with the Hot section being more problem solving based (greater depth, mastery type). I have started to include the answers to the questions, which you will also find in these powerpoints. I spend the last 15 minutes of each lesson getting the children to check their own answers, tick them if they’re right and correct them if they’re wrong. I still go through and check their books, but all the marking is done. All I need to do is note down who needs further support the next day! It saves so much time and takes me 15 minutes to mark 30 books.
