APP Powerpoint Staff Meeting

A massive bank of resources based around Nelson Mandela and Black History. Features an incredibly effective lesson leading onto an assembly to show how soul destroying racism really can be with links to Nelson Mandela. Is VERY powerful if done properly. Right to education, poverty, quotes and web-links also included. I have also included lots of additional resources on Nelson Mandela and a Teachers TV video and the video file and notebook file I used to try and illustrate drawing portraits. Powerpoints, worksheets, videos, plans etc. enjoy!

UPDATED with LOTS more resources Perfect for Years 3-5 when studying non-chronological reports / information writing, with differentiated worksheets, great for getting boys interested! I have updated this popular pack of resources with much much more. Now includes… -Online ‘Prezi’ I made (an online animated Presentation ready to use) . This really is extremely useful and took a TON of time to make, the link is at the bottom of the lesson plan to access and can be used online to present the whole topic. -Weekly and individual lesson plan -PowerPoint -Worksheets -Example of shared write and completed notes -‘Big Cat’ information book to print and use for additional information. -Short downloaded video about Tigers (I do not claim to own this portion of the resource but I used as part of my lesson.)

A set of 'free&' sites I gathered together to support our &';dimensions' ICT curriculum. Hope you find this useful. These are sites the children can use for the key areas of learning.

A full set of cursive handwriting worksheets from A-Z - Easily used as a whole school scheme The sheets can be used stand alone or as a template for children to use in their handwriting books, I have especially found the words after the letters helpful. I have also included a few extras that can be used to test children's 'best handwriting'

A document for parents and pupils to sign. Invaluable for E-Safety and security. Editable as I have included my word version of the document. Has gone down well with many schools. This is a snippet from the top of the document... Parents / Carers play a crucial role in ensuring that their children understand the need to use the internet / mobile devices in an appropriate way. Research shows that many parents and carers do not fully understand the issues and are less experienced in the use of ICT than their children. The school will therefore take every opportunity to help parents understand these issues through parents’ evenings, newsletters, letters, website / VLE and information about national / local e-safety campaigns / literature. This agreement is aimed at fostering that approach. Invaluable and guaranteed to save you time.

A collection of resources for anti-bullying, many of which will spark ideas for your own planning with your class. I have included a short assembly with the excellent short animation Narrated by Kate Winslet and lots of additional resources. NEW I have included this as Mac Keynote (will work on iPad) and also newly edited PowerPoint file. An excellent idea during this week is to approach ‘dealing with anger’ with the children. A great way to do this is to use the ‘Angry Birds’ video game to spark their interest I have included a powerpoint and some posters / worksheets to help. Also some sheets that go well with the Pixar short movie included. I have also written an example ‘anti-bullying letter’ example written in shared writing with the children and a ‘Dealing with dilemmas’ PowerPoint (i.e. what to do in certain situations.) I have always found the website ‘Go-Givers’ to be excellent. NB I do not claim to own the video sections of this resource. Although many are fantastic to use!

Spend a full day, or even more with all these resources based around Remembrance Day! This is primarily designed to be a huge amount of resources to ‘dip into’ during the day or week of this event.

Included in this resource pack… -A Powerpoint to introduce Remembrance day with included example poems to read to the children to help scaffold their own -Acrostic Poem Templates -Planning (please note this is under ‘Creating images weekly plan’) in the resources.

A Fantastic Veterans Day Video -Information about Poppy Day -Crossword -Poems -Using a dictionary activity -Newspaper articles uniquely writted designed to discuss England and the FIFA Poppy Ban from the England football match from the last World Cup, an excellent PSHE lesson. NB: An EXCELLENT movie is 'The Piano' - this is absolutely perfect, emotional for the occasion and can be used in assemblies or the classroom to promote discussion.

Myths and Legend Lettering 'Greek Myths.&'

I have bullet pointed a few ideas I had to use iMovie in the classroom. Although these were written with a mac in use, many of the ideas could be used with iMovie on the iPad or a similar video editing program. Please leave a comment if you find this useful.

An assembly I made to introduce our 'E-Safety' week. I have also included an E-Safety agreement I made that can be used to hand out to parents. Also an example of year 3 planning for this week. I have also included a number of materials and worksheets that could be used effectively for E-Safety.

NB: This resource is now 1/4 of the price it originally started at and still has some outstanding unique content included. A very high quality resource. This is a 32 slide Powerpoint, including videos and high quality unique animations around the subject of Growth-Mindset designed for presentation to staff and parents alike. Many parts are also suitable for children themselves especially the videos. Uniquely designed and produced my myself and an extremely reputable colleague for use at inset in school, who has now gone on to advise in this area. As we designed this resource collaboratively I am lucky enough to be able to post these particular elements here. I have also included slide handouts and and a Mac / Keynote / iPad version of the resource, which also has embedded video files. Note the keynote version of the resource has additional special effects for Mac / OS/ iPad users. Perfect for the introduction or refresh of ‘Growth-Mindset’ in schools and won’t have been seen anywhere! I have included some of the research videos we used as part of our project.

A SHORT play script I wrote for our Christmas play featuring Simon Cowell and his entourage… The children put acts on in-between the script.

This Quiz is is a short general knowledge quiz written by 'Quizinators’ and completely free. I am an experienced Quiz writer and presenter that decided to spread my tried and tested winning formula to others. They are ideal, for a one off event or regular use. If you are presenting a quiz I understand how meticulously researched well phrased questions and answers can help the cause. Each quiz is structured to start easy and get progressively harder (a difficult skill to approximate, after all a question is easy when you know it!) This will give teams with more knowledge a greater challenge near the end. The picture round of this quiz includes a professionally formatted image of the £20 note where players are required to identify the person and then the 9 celebrities within the remainder of the £20 notes. Each quiz contains 30 questions of increasing difficulty and an additional tie-breaker, if required. Questions 1 - 10: Easier questions designed to give your teams some confidence and even raise some laughs. Questions 11 - 20: Medium difficulty questions, some of these may include a multiple choice element. Questions 21 - 25: Harder questions which teams will find much more challenging. Questions 26 - 30: ‘The Wipeout Round’ or ‘Double or Quits’. It is suggested that in this section, you inform teams that each question is worth 2 points, however if one question is answered incorrectly the team ‘wipes-out’ and scores no points for the round, questions can however be missed out with no penalty (just receiving no points for that particular question.)
