A great presentation that first looks at ideas around ‘normal’ body types and how to promote a healthy body image. It then moves onto looking at images presented in the media and how these have been altered, including some useful web links. The main activity challenges children to think about someone they admire and come up with reasons why, without solely focusing on their looks. Please note I do not own any of the images used in these resources.

These resources look at people’s relationships with food and how this can become problematic. The powerpoint looks at anorexia including causes, harmful side effects and recovery. It encourages children to think positively about themselves and others. The main activity asks children to create a ‘recipe’ for a healthy body image and is differentiated three ways. Please note I do not own any of the images used in these resources.

This looks at all aspects of a helathy lifestyle rather than just focusing on food. It is a great powerpoint to use at the end of a Healthy Me unit as it brings everything togther and consolidates learning Please note I do not own any of the images used in this resource.

These resources allow children to show what they already know about the dangers of smoking and build on this. There is a quiz at the start and then a link to a very effective poster by anti-smoking campaigners showing the effects of smoking on children and teenagers. Body image from shuttershock

A fantastic lesson that generated some great discussion about jobs and their salaries. The discussion was so rich in mine that it carried over two lessons. First children are given cards with different jobs (discuss any unfamiliar to children before starting). They are asked to rank them from most important to least important and give feedback on their answers. They are then asked to consider what they think the salary for each job might be and try to match these. The powerpoint then reveals the average salaries in descending order. This generates excellent discussion about whether this is fair, which jobs should earn less/more, are you surprised by any etc As a final activity children can research a job they would like to pursue in the future and then create an advert for this job based on what they have found. I have included a SEN template, a word mat and some links for useful websites. Please note I do not own any of the images used in the presentation.

A lovely lesson that requires children to consider what they want in the futue and where they see themselves at certain ages. You can also look at dreams of childen in other cultures. For the slide that asks children to look at the pictures on their table, I would simply google ‘children in other cultures’ and choose some suitable images. I believe I used a child in a school that looked very dofferent to our own schools, a child carrying lots of bottles and buckets of water and a child using tools to gather crops. The BBC learning clip (link on power point) generated some excellent discussion. For the book activity you could create a Venn diagram for own dreams and Evangeline’s dreams. I did not have time in my lesson so we simply answered the questions on the slide. Please note I do not own any of the images used in the presentation

A powerpoint explaining what Martin Luther King did after his famous 'I have a dream speech’ Focuses on Selma, including some original pictures and footage so may be more suitable for upper Key Stage 2 and above. I personally did not show the full video clip I just selected a part that I thought was suitable. I do not own any of the images or videos linked in this powerpoint

Lots of activities looking at counting on and back in steps of 10, 100, 1000, 10 000 and 100 000 from any given number up to 1 000 000. There are a number of Mastery tasks and a Greater Depth task for more able pupils to move onto.

A fantastic reasoning activity that helps children improve their problem solving and ability to work systematically. The problem starts with 3 objects and moves on to four. There is also an opportunity for more able children to make predictions for 5 and 6 objects and then test their theories. Very able children may make connections such as once you find all the possibilities for one starting object, you can multiply this by the total number of objects for the number of possibilities altogether.

This lovely powerpoint is great to use in the first half term and encourages children to think about what they want to achieve by the end of the academic year. It encourages children to think about the impact of their words and actions on those around them and consider how to make better choices. The first activity in the presentation has a blank space for your school’s mission statement. You could discuss the key words as a class or make it into an activity for their books. I personally put the key words on stickers, got the children to match them to a definition and then think of a way to show that quality. More able pupils used dictionaries to support their own definitions. For the other children I put the definitions on stickers and they had to match them up. Children then need to think of 6 goals for the year ahead - 3 personal and 3 learning (the powerpoint discusses the difference) - which they can record on the worksheet As a reflection at the end of the lesson they can start to think about how they can achieve these

A matching and labeling activity for how structure and presentation of texts contribute to their meaning Children need to match the device to the definition. There is also an example text that uses all these devices that the children could label/find examples of each device The activity is differentiated for higher and lower ability

This pack is perfect for a higher ability Maths class or more able pupils. The mastery and greater depth activities require increasing levels of reasoning and independence. There is also a good introduction to ordering 3 digit numbers which explains what children should look at step by step.
