This powerpoint was written as a collaboration between myself as a qualified teacher with 15+ years experience in primary and my son, who is in Year 6, at time of writing. The idea was to create a powerpoint which could be used as a starting point for conversations around how the children are feeling and what they can do if they feel nervous and worried about starting secondary school. The aim is for them to feel empowered by knowing that others’ feel the same way and to build a toolkit of what to do if they are anxious. Ideal for a short lesson or as a filler at the end of the day. Could take 20 - 40 minutes depending on length of discussions and whether you set the tasks as group/whole class discussions or include written tasks. My son has negotiated a share in the profit from sales! Many Thanks, Miss B and T.

Rosa Parks! A narrative text and a non-fiction text. With comprehension questions and answers. Rosa Parks was a key figure in the American Civil Rights movement and is a hero to advocates of anti racism. The fateful day when she refused to stand up to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Montgomery, sparked the Bus Boycotts which lead to the end of segregation on buses. This story is often used in October, during Black History Month in the UK. However, this comprehension exercise has been designed to use any day of the year, to support civil rights education and anti racism discussions. It was created for a freelance writer position for an educational resource website, but since I never heard back about the job, I thought I’d share it with you to use in your classes. I’d love to hear what you think, so please do leave a review. Especially if it lead to valuable anti racism discussions. Let me know!
