The Alphabet Display Posters and Flash Cards. Visually stunning.

(0)
Here I have made 26 visually stunning posters each representing a different letter of the alphabet. These posters have been professionally designed by a graphic designer. Each poster contains the letter in uppercase and lowercase, an image to help represent the letter (a = apple) and the spelling of the word to show the title letter in use. You will receive these posters in 2 formats, as an image and as a pdf. This will give you the freedom to print them what ever size you like! So they can be posters or flashcards. The font used is a precursive infant font - ideal for learners of that age. The 26 images which have been selected for each letter are; A - apple B - banana C - cat D - dog E - eggs F - fox G - grapes H - hat I - ice cream J - jam K - key L - lemon M - mouse N - nest O - orange P - pig Q - queen R - robot S - snake T - tap (faucet) U - umbrella V - van W - windmill X - x-ray Y - yellow (colour) Z - zebra As well as being a teacher with a PGCE in primary education, I am also a Graphic Designer (BSc Hons). I firmly believe that what you are getting for your money is an absolute bargain and all I ask in return is for you to review the resource. Please contact me if you have any suggestions.
Adverbs Complete Lesson. Fully differentiated.

Adverbs Complete Lesson. Fully differentiated.

(1)
3 Presentations differentiated for 3 ability groups. Presentation slides; 1. What is a verb? (Recap and enforce) 2. Moving images; What is Superboy doing? - Flying What is the man doing? – Eating, watching or looking. What’s happening on the football pitch? How was that goal scored? Running/Ran, kicked and diving (goalkeeper) What is the crowd doing? Jumping, shouting and cheering 3. What is an adverb? – go back to previous slides and ask ‘Are these people just flying? Eating? Running?’ Could any other words make these sentences more exciting? Quickly! Intensively! Frantically! Hurriedly! 4. Next 2 slides present beginnings of sentences using verbs giving me the chance to ask ‘What adverbs could make this more exciting?’ 5. The second slide of examples for the HA group focuses on adverbs that don’t end in ‘ly’. MA group will be presented with one word which doesn’t end in ‘ly’. 6. Show video of Usain Bolt obtaining world record. 7. What words can be used to describe how Usain Bolt ran? Have a short discussion to see what words children can come up with. Then display 12 words (all adverbs) and ask would it be okay to use each of them. Some are wrong deliberately! 8. The ‘Dab’ slide (Usain Bolt dabbing). This is aimed at lifting the moods of the children. State that it is called the Dab so it is a…? noun. He is dabbing, so that is a…? Verb. And he’s dabbing confidently …which is an…? Adverb! Practise dabbing confidently, timidly, proudly and lazily. Main Activity Slide 9 contains a video of Elvis Presley arriving onstage and singing. Inform the children that they are now news reporters, news reporters who happen to be very lucky because they get to go back in time to watch Elvis in concert, they even get to see him back stage! This video is very good for this lesson because there is a lot going on in it to start a discussion with the children asking them what verbs they can identify in the video i.e. singing, dancing, walking, swaying etc. Don’t forget the crowd! Slide 10 for HA contains a table with potential adverbs. Tell the children that they will have to write a news report so they can report to the people of 2017 on what they witnessed. Report should have 8-10 verbs linked with an adverb. Slide 10 for MA contains a table with verbs in one column and the rest of the table contains the potential adverbs. Get children to write a news report on what they have witnessed for the people of 2017 using the verbs provided, linking them to the adverbs provided. Slide 10 for LA contains a table with 7 verbs on the left column and 6 adverbs on the right column. Verbs on the left are all things Elvis done in the video, but now we want to find out how Elvis done them. Give them paper cut outs of the verbs and adverbs and ask the children what can they match.

Word types. Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. Back to the future themed lesson. Creative writing

(0)
A refresh lesson lesson packed full of moving images to get your class excited! This presentation gives a refresh on nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. It uses both still images and moving images to give children the opportunity to say what they see. I.e. Pictures of Marty and the Doc are nouns. Then the presentation displays a short clip from the movie. Here children will watch the clip and on their whiteboards they will write one sentence, they will have to identify what types of words they used in their sentence. Now tell children you're taking them back in time to watch Marty McFly in concert. When they come back to the future they will act as reporters and write an account of what they saw. Children will then watch the 'Johnny B Goode' clip from the film and write an article telling people of the performance they witnessed. Great and effective lesson (plus it gets children interested in this great movie!).

Solving and Creating Riddles! Fun and engaging creative writing lesson. Preview on YouTube

YouTube preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqGXvdrvHkY Take your class on a quest to defeat the Riddler who wants to take control of Gotham! This PowerPoint is perfectly structured, if you need to write a plan just write it around the slides! You don’t need to change a thing, the PowerPoint will take you through the whole lesson, and providing you take the time prior to the lesson to study the PowerPoint each slide will prompt you - and you will soar! Presentation starts off with a few introductory slides, you then will split the class into 4 teams. Once the class is split you will then present Riddles to them, children must work in their teams to solve the riddle and provide you with an answer on their team whiteboard. You as teacher can take a tally of their scores. Once all 10 riddles have been solved, your class will now work in their teams to create riddles to present to the other 3 teams. I had each child write a riddle and then as a team they selected the best to use in the final battle. Children then presented their riddle to the other 3 teams. If none of the teams could solve their riddle I awarded 20 points, 15 if one teams solved it, 10 for two and 5 points if all three teams solved it. These points were added to the tally created earlier and a winning team declared. As a substitute teacher I take this lesson with me everyday on a USB pen. It’s perfect for getting a class engaged and always works a treat! I am a fully qualified Graphic Designer (BSc Hons) with a PGCE in Primary Education. My resources are made to a high standard, and priced reasonably. I believe firmly that high quality resources are what’s needed for teachers to compete with iPads and tablets, I also believe that no teaching resource should break the bank. All feedback welcome! And a review would be much appreciated.

Working Wall - Sugar content of everyday products

Working Wall - Sugar content of everyday products

(0)
Measuring sugar content of everyday products (Notice board creation activity) This is a group work lesson focused on measuring the sugar content of everyday products we consume. The end result will be a noticeboard full of pictures of these items with a bag containing the amount of sugar in a serving of each and a corresponding label. One idea to motivate the children during this lesson is when you notice a group who have accurately measured the sugar content of a particular item, take said bag then and there and pin it to the wall. Arter purchasing this resource you will need: • 1kg of sugar (I split my class of 27 into 5 groups and we only needed 1kg – I bought 3 kg just in case) • A teaspoon per group • A balancing scale per group • Weights • A jug for each group (to hold their sugar) • A funnel for each group • Plastic food bags I used this lesson for an observation and had great success.

Stations of the Cross. Presentation, Sequencing, Colour In & Beautiful Posters. RE Easter.

** Sequencing worksheet has been added to make sure to re-download if you have already purchased ** Here I have taken the time to hand draw and create beautiful (high quality) posters depicting the 14 Stations of the Cross. Each poster is accompanied with a worksheet which prompts children to write about each station and colour in a picture of that station. As well as this I have also included a sequencing worksheet where children colour in each station, cut out and stick into their books - in the correct order. This resource pack would be perfect for delivering a lesson on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in the run up to Easter celebrations. I have also included a PowerPoint containing the images of the 14 stations. This would be an ideal resource for a class discussion.

Sentence Structures - Commands, statements, questions and exclamations.

I’m a graphic designer turned teacher, this gives me the advantage of being able to create high tech resources such as this one. This resource is perfect for an observation, I know this because I used it for mine and aced it! Lesson will be Scooby Doo themed. First slides investigate children’s knowledge on questions, statements, commands or exclamations. Each slide will provide children with a moving image example of each type of sentence we are discussing today. Ask children to give an example to the rest of the class and praise accordingly. Nest section of slideshow will display Scooby Doo video clips, each containing questions, statements, commands and exclamations. After each clip, slideshow will display children a script of the previous clip (modelling the correct way to write it) and ask them to raise their hands if they can identify what type of sentence it is and if they know how we write it. Then the slideshow will will display the correct answer. Keep going with each clip. Don’t be afraid about asking children to experiment and think of their own sentences – give them the stage! ***Guided Work*** Guided work slide will be displayed followed by a slide of prompts and examples. Year 2 children will be asked to write individual sentences. Their sheet has been divided into 4 titled sections with space to write accordingly. LA Year 2 will be given the same sheet however theirs will have examples of each to remind them. Year 3 children will be asked to write at least two paragraphs. I will show them a few slides explaining what I mean by paragraphs. LA Year 3 will be given a worksheet, divided into two blank paragraphs and prompts for each paragraph. ***Please Note I created this slideshow for a composite class of Year 2 and 3. You can edit guided work to suit your needs*** Plenary Plenary will be a review. Slideshow will play a longer clip this time, tell children to pay attention because you are going to reward whoever can tell you either a question, statement, command or exclamation from the clip. Those children can be rewarded with a sticker.
Using nouns and verbs in their correct context.

Using nouns and verbs in their correct context.

(0)
Extremely effective PowerPoint where each slide presents a word. The children will be asked to identify if it is a noun, verb, adjective or adverb. The sentences have been designed to trick children. For example, the word ‘fish’ is displayed. When tested most children say it is a noun, however PowerPoint will then display it in a sentence as a verb. Each slide also contains a funny moving image, these keep children engaged. When I did this lesson with my class it was wonderful to see the realisation set in. The last slide contains a table of words which can be used as either a noun, verb, adjective or verb. It is then up to you what you’d like the children to. They could select 5 words and write two sentences for each word, using them in different context and identifying what they have done. This was an extremely effective lesson.

Forces of Nature Science Lesson. Presentation and worksheets.

Powerpoint presentation covering floods, hurricane, tornados, tsunamis, lightning, volcanos and earthquakes. Each slide is simple and contains only a 2-3 minute National Geographic 101 video. Teacher could discuss with the class what they know about each topic before they play the video and then after each video discuss what they now know. Worksheets are good for data gathering while each video is playing or during discussion. I do not own the National Geographic videos, I have simply obtained them on YouTube and compiled them altogether in the one place.
