cross curricular orienteering clues - 2D and 3D shapes 10 orienteering clues for OAA PE lessons with 10 flags and score cards for teams of 2. I laminated the flags, hole punched, attached string then dotted them around the school field attached to the fence, trees and other objects. I then paper clipped the shape clues to the flags. I gave each pair of children a different shape which they then had to find the properties for and the number of the flag that the clues were attached to. Aimed at KS2.

I created this resource for use in my class library as an incentive to get children reading a variety of fiction books from different authors and in different genres. As part of my reading area, I have a dislay showing the Top 100 books to read before leaving Year 5 (current year group that I teach) with space for children to add their names when they have read a book. I have the majority of the books in the Top 100 in the library, so these books have one of the special bookmarks in them so they are clear to pick out. I printed the bookmarks out on coloured card and stuck gold stars on them.

I have decided this year to organise my water bottle groups around the 5 major oceans as I have 5 groups of 6 children. The document is editable. I printed it out in A3 then laminated it and stuck it up in the classroom above the water fountain. Baskets are extremely handy as they can easily be carried outside to PE lessons/sports day etc. by water monitors and keep the classroom tidy. I have attached a photo of the water bottle baskets which I have created using the images from the document (cut out and laminated).

I created this piece of music to use with my year 2 class during their study of the Titanic. We used the music in PE to create an interpretive dance to. They absolutely loved it, especially the boys! The piece of music goes through the journey of the Titanic, from it setting sail and crowds wishing the passengers luck, to the fun on the ship including the Irish party, then the Titanic seeing and hitting the iceberg and finally to the disaster of it sinking. All created using sound effects and music.
