To match my Handa’s Surprise resources, I have uploaded my teaching slides. These include a 2 week unit journey with reading and writing lessons. The slides follow our school format for visuals, where we share the journey and success criteria (and prior knowledge), we then have a ‘My Turn’ slide where the teacher solely model/teach the skill, ‘Our Turn’ where the children join in and help me, ‘Your Turn’ where the children practise on their own so you can conduct AFL, followed by the tasks and a review/reflect.

I have uploaded my 2 week resources for Handa’s surprise, with the end outcome of the children writing a recount of Handa’s journey. This unit will suit all abilities of children within year 1 and 2, with lots of these resources already being differentiated. The resources include a reading text and 2 reading lessons (retrieval and sequencing), writing resources, word banks and structure strips. Supporting teaching slides are available

As part of our transition, I have created some teaching slides (to go alongside my resources that are also available) to support KS1 children (my class has both year 1 and 2 children, so this acts as a refresher for the year 2’s and an introduction for the year 1’s) with the editing and enhancing process through the amazing ‘Here We Are’ book by Oliver Jeffers. The teaching slides are broken into 3 days, following our teaching process ‘My Turn’ which acts as sole teacher input/modelling, ‘Our Turn’ where the children help me practise the skill, and then ‘Your Turn’ where the children practise before completing the task. The slides also have an early morning welcome slide. The resources including group, paired and independent work, as well as picture evidence sheets.
