APP Powerpoint Staff Meeting

Originally I made this presentation in keynote (mac format) I have converted to Powerpoint and included the video elements separately. Was used with year 3/4 to help explain what a shadow is through a a paint experiment.

Completely ORIGINAL and works fantastically. Developed in collaboration with an esteemed colleague. These are some of the resources I used and created when the children were doing fantasy stories, we linked it to the Thundercat cartoon, did character descriptions and settings. I always do this topic with the children in year 3/4, the short episodes of the series all offer a clear beginning, middle and end which lends itself very well to some excellent short stories by the children. The ‘cave of time’ is an especially good episode with a clear problem, build up and solution etc Included a weekly plan and a map that can be printed over 2 pieces of paper for display. I have also included a set of Top Trump example attributes for this resource which really gets the boys extremely motivated and could be used as an additional activity to be played later on in Golden Time. This is very comprehensive and I have used this many times successfully with years 3-5. The boys especially don’t stop talking about it!

Data handling resource highlighting the different types of graph children may encounter. Some sample questions are included.

Resources to support the teaching of commas. Notebook, Powerpoint and a couple of worksheets I made.

A range of worksheets I designed for children to find out about the best selling toys in the last 50 years and how they have changed over time. I have also included the Keynote I used in quicktime format so it will work on your PC. One of the activities the children had to do was to identify key selling points of toys and which market they were aimed at, this was wonderful to see their responses.

A collection of some of my best bookmarked sites. These have been collected by me over MANY years and some are literally GEMS! I hope this helps some people out. Please comment if you find useful!

I have included a lesson plan and visualiser recording that I made to illustrate the stages of making portraits. This lesson was included on the teaching channel before it disappeared (have included the link) and thought some of you might find it useful. If this helps anyone out please comment.

A full set of cursive handwriting worksheets from A-Z - Easily used as a whole school scheme The sheets can be used stand alone or as a template for children to use in their handwriting books, I have especially found the words after the letters helpful. I have also included a few extras that can be used to test children's 'best handwriting'

E-Safety Resources and lesson plans for KS2

An extensive set of resources used highly successfully for an observation lesson on whether a polygon is ‘regular’ or ‘Irregular’. Used in a Year 5 class and includes plan, differentiated resources and presentation that are easily adaptable. (Please note I have also included this presentation in MAC Keynote format as well as Powerpoint format for apple users. )

Originally written for year 4 but easily used for older children. Explanation text resource using the 1999 Animated Tarzan Film as a stimulus. I have included the explanation as a video file. Children watch how the animation process 'Deep Canvas' works and then describe it themselves. Also included a display I produced from this lesson, within a rainforest topic and using the lesson cross-curricularly, the writing children produce is often outstanding when given the prompts as they get so engrossed in it. I have now included an extra 'how to draw Tarzan step-by step' as an excellent art activity and a planning sheet and extensive word bank where children can describe Tarzan.

I have included a lesson plan / smartboard notebook document and visualiser recording that I made to illustrate the stages of making portraits. Please note the actual video / visualiser recording I made was when we were looking at Nelson Mandela (but the principles are the same.)
