The Life Cycle of a Butterfly - Whole Class Reading Session!
This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s fluency and comprehension skills, whilst enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of life cycles, through reading a short, age-appropriate ‘Life Cycle of a Butterfly’ non-fiction text.
The reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s retrieval, explanation, inference, prediction and summarising skills. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language.
The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities. The text is freely available on Epic - the hyperlink is provided on the first slide.
The session is best suited for children in years 1-3, although with minor adaptations it could feasibly be used with slightly younger and older year groups.
The Rainforest - Pointless Game!
Based on the popular game show ‘Pointless,’ this resource is perfect for use as a whole lesson resource, enrichment option, or revision tool. Editable, so that you can change to any other topic or change questions. (I’ve also added a blank template so that you can make your own games from scratch). Containing 25 slides of sound clips, engaging visuals, and suitably challenging questions, this resource is effective at both promoting engagement and enhancing learning. There are several full rounds of questions to build or revisit knowledge of The Rainforest.
Round 1. Countries with Rainforests
Round 2. Birds of the Rainforest
Round 3. Name the Rainforest!
Round 4. Anagrams Round - (Layers of the Rainforest)
Round 5. Mammals of the Rainforest
The nature of this game ensures that the resource can challenge students of all levels.
A blank template has also been added, so that you can create your own games!
The March Equinox - Whole Class Reading Lesson!
This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s fluency and comprehension skills through finding out more about the March Equinox. The non-fiction text that they read is adapted from a Reader’s Digest article which explains the equinox and shares some of the myths and traditions surrounding it.
The reading is followed by a series of activities aiming to develop children’s VIPERS skills: vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval, sequencing and summarising. It also contains a vocabulary check immediately after the extract is read to clarify any unfamiliar/ difficult language.
The tasks are comprised of quick-check questions, solo thinking, pair/ group discussions and deeper thinking activities. The text to read is provided in both PDF and Word format.
The session is best suited for children in upper KS2, however it could easily be used with KS3 students and could feasibly be utilised with slightly younger children, depending upon the individual context of your class.

Classifying Animals Lesson, Resources, and Pointless Game!
This bundle contains the ‘Classifying Animals’ lesson, and also the fun and interactive Animal Classes Pointless Game!
The detailed and engaging lesson enables students to gain an understanding of what animal classes are, and which animals belong to the different categories. Furthermore, they learn to categorise animals themselves, using scientific knowledge of the features of each animal class. Students justify their choices using critical thinking skills.
Students learn through a number of fun and interactive tasks, which enable them to:
- Define each animal class and understand its features;
- Exemplify each animal class, justifying their choices;
- Use research and investigative skills to categorise animals for whom the class is not immediately obvious;
- Evaluate the learning and understanding of themselves and their peers.
The resources include:
-Visually engaging and comprehensive whole-lesson presentation;
-Resources for the card-sorting activity;
-A categorising and justifying worksheet (and answer sheet for teacher);
-An investigation log;
-Step-by-step lesson plan.
To help their investigation write-ups, I’ve also thrown in the literacy writing mat for free!
