The Teaching Deputy

Average Rating4.20
(based on 66 reviews)

Hello, thank you for looking around my shop. I am a teaching deputy head teacher, with 16 years of experience, who works in a rural primary school. I know how wearing many hats can eat into your time but understand how important excellent resources are for engaging pupils so they make accelerated progress. I have included lots of free resources in my shop but placed a small charge for resources which have taken me many hours to create. I hope you enjoy them and use them to motivate your pupils.

SMSC in Computing Display

This is a display that I made to put more SMSC into my school. It is split into the four categories of Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural. For each category it has 8 different questions on a different coloured tablet that should generate discussion in your class. I have listed two from each category below: Spiritual examples • Can machines think? • Are you the same person online as you are offline? Moral examples • Do computers know what is right and wrong? • Is it ok to copy and use information and pictures that we find on the internet? Social examples • Are online friends real friends? • What should you do if you see someone sending a nasty email? Cultural examples • How can you find out about another culture from using the internet? • How do social networks teach you about other people’s cultures?

Synonyms for Said Word Mat (64 words)

This is a great resource for improving the quality of pupil's writing. I use it for all non-fiction pieces that require dialogue. This allows pupils to add inferences into their writing which gives their characters more depth subtly. The usual word of said is no longer used as pupils upscale their word choices making their writing even more engaging.

How is Maths taught - For Parents

I made this to email parents how we teach all 4 operations in my primary school. It includes visual examples of how addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are taught. There are 14 pages and these are the different stages I include along with examples of mental strategies pupils will need to learn. These are sections for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Here are the areas covered in multiplication. Multiplication = Stage 1 – Continual addition of groups/steps of same size, Stage 2 – Arrays (leads to area method), Stage 3 – Mental multiplication using partitioning, Stage 4 – The Grid Method, Stage 5 – Expanded Short Multiplication, Stage 6 – Short Multiplication, Stage 7 – TU by TU (grid method and column method)
Mysterious Traveller Reading Comprehension

Mysterious Traveller Reading Comprehension

(0)
This is a great whole book planned guided reading unit based on the book Mysterious Traveller by Mal Peet & Elspeth Graham. The story tells of an old man finding an abandoned baby in the desert who he adopts as his own grand-daughter. he teaches her how to track her way through the desert and she travels with him while he guides traders through the deserts of northern Africa. When he loses his vision she becomes his eyes and they work in tandem on their adventures. I have planned a unit of work that is split into 9 different reading comprehensions as each set of questions has between 6 and 8 questions and covers 5 pages of the book. I have also included printer friendly pages where there are 3 copies of the questions on each page so it is easy to prepare for lessons. I have included all the answers too as this is a great time saver. The questions are designed to easily fit English books as I have adjusted the margins so they fit. I hope your class enjoys this book as much as mine have always done.

Here are 3 different templates (Green, Red and Blue) for a great end of year report. It includes the following sections: • A table to record attainment and pupil's learning behaviour in that section • A section where pupil’s write what their successes have been that year • A section for pupil’s to write what they need to improve next year • Teacher’s comment • Head Teacher’s comment • 4 spaces for photographs • English comment section • English target • Maths comment section • Maths target • Topic comment section • A key for explaining the codes for attainment and also learning behaviour judgements This report prints onto an A3 double sided so it is easy to fold and present on one piece of paper. I usually save it to pdf before I print them to allow the borders to fit the page perfectly. Feedback from parents is they love the simplicity of the design.

Here are some team work cards which explain each member's responsibilities. I use these every time I put pupils into groups so they can practise all of the roles. This really develops their confidence as many pupils do not get these opportunities unless you manage different team roles. The roles are as follows: Leader, Organiser, Motivator and Reporter. Below is an example of what the Leader is. As the leader you are responsible for …. • Making sure everyone has a role or task to complete • Making sure it is finished on time • Making the final decision if your group cannot agree • Speaking with an adult if your group is struggling
