A collection of resources for anti-bullying, many of which will spark ideas for your own planning with your class.
I have included a short assembly with the excellent short animation Narrated by Kate Winslet and lots of additional resources. NEW I have included this as Mac Keynote (will work on iPad) and also newly edited PowerPoint file.
An excellent idea during this week is to approach ‘dealing with anger’ with the children. A great way to do this is to use the ‘Angry Birds’ video game to spark their interest I have included a powerpoint and some posters / worksheets to help. Also some sheets that go well with the Pixar short movie included.
I have also written an example ‘anti-bullying letter’ example written in shared writing with the children and a ‘Dealing with dilemmas’ PowerPoint (i.e. what to do in certain situations.)
I have always found the website ‘Go-Givers’ to be excellent.
NB I do not claim to own the video sections of this resource.
Although many are fantastic to use!
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. )
NB: This resource is now 1/4 of the price it originally started at and still has some outstanding unique content included.
A very high quality resource.
This is a 32 slide Powerpoint, including videos and high quality unique animations around the subject of Growth-Mindset designed for presentation to staff and parents alike. Many parts are also suitable for children themselves especially the videos.
Uniquely designed and produced my myself and an extremely reputable colleague for use at inset in school, who has now gone on to advise in this area. As we designed this resource collaboratively I am lucky enough to be able to post these particular elements here.
I have also included slide handouts and and a Mac / Keynote / iPad version of the resource, which also has embedded video files. Note the keynote version of the resource has additional special effects for Mac / OS/ iPad users.
Perfect for the introduction or refresh of ‘Growth-Mindset’ in schools and won’t have been seen anywhere!
I have included some of the research videos we used as part of our project.
A unique ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire’ based around ‘Bonfire Night’ in the UK.
This can be adapted for ANY topic, includes visuals and sound effects from the programme.
I used successfully in a whole class assembly, the staff loved it too!
Suitable for Primary.
Two Newspaper articles for discussion based on FIFA not allowing England players to wear poppies during their football match.
Children can then complete the comprehension and the optional challenge task
A collection of unique resources about bonfire night.
Includes
Uniquely designed 'Gunpowder Plot Story.'
Uniquely designed article about how last year letters were discovered worth 60,000
A Powerpoint including fire safety points and fire safety advert. Also with a brief History of Bonfire night, all designed in the same sheet as the worksheets.
A Guy Fawkes poem
A task to alphabetically order key words
Specially selected and organised original Powerpoint (and Keynote / ipad / mac versions) of riddles and problems to make pupils think about things creatively, many completely original.
A great thing to start or finish the day with on the whiteboard, organised into powerpoints for you.
For example…
(Morning activities)
‘How many countries in the world can you think of?’
(Lateral thinking)
Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones?
Answer: Round covers cannot be dropped or fall down a manhole, unlike square ones.
I hope you enjoy using these with your class.
PART ONE of TWO
As this is the first time I have shared content in this format (of which I prefer) I am offering a 75% price reduction for a very limited time!
Please note this is 15 YEARS worth of Keynotes made on the mac originally for years 3 and 4 although many have been used in older classes and are easily adaptable.
INVALUABLE for anyone with a Mac that uses it for teaching as these are VERY hard to find. (Why I had to make them as I much prefer Keynote.) These took many many hours to make individually.
Many incorporate videos and animations within them and some have been used to achieve outstanding observations.
For a MacBook / Apple user these are fantastic and many should work on iPad too with Keynote. (Although one or two of the animations may be different and I can't 100% promise all will be formatted perfectly from experience.)
Keynotes ages 7-10 - A Massive collection of presentations I have made.
Most are self explanatory but have written a few notes of description for some them below to help. Will save Apple users absolutely tonnes of time as I myself use many of these when I go into schools. You really are getting a lot here believe me.
Please note these will NOT work on windows computers (PowerPoint) without conversion although an excellent site to convert these files is https://cloudconvert.com/key-to-ppt
I have included this particular resource mainly for Apple users.
A basic Apple Keynote giving tips on how to edit stories.
This will also work on iPad. This was originally made for a year 3/4 class but can easily be adapted for different age groups.
Eg.
Check it makes sense
Check the spelling
Check the punctuation
Minimise repeated words
Improve words where you can (have you used all senses?)
I am delighted that the conversion from Mac to PowerPoint is now reliable enough to transfer the special effects on this presentation to PC Powerpoint format as well!
The animations of the number line are unique and extremely beneficial to the childrens understanding in this method.
This lesson has been observed several times by colleagues in the past in my capacity as AST to illustrate how the use of teacher technology can improve maths teaching within a lesson. Starters included…
There are also examples of worksheets, here this has always been one of my favourite lessons to deliver and I am delighted I can share it.
Set of resources to support the use of the song ‘Be a Man’ from Mulan the popular Disney film for use in a Poetry topic.
The verse can be used to identify number of syllables in poetry and the children can then invent their own similes to fit!
I have included some additional worksheets and ideas to help with this. (Obviously work some before.)
To identify syllabic patterns after initial work in this area I have always found this useful. Its a fantastic song and very catchy, in the past I have also had children invent their own song and perform in assembly with great success!
I have included the actual clip featuring this music, as a very short edited video section but do not claim to own the rights to this.
I have included a weekly / unit plan here as an extra with this lesson included, please see my other resource ‘Poems that Create Similes & Metaphors’ for more.
A selection of multiple choice questions for selected Chapters from the Charlie and the Chocolate factory books.
Great for whole class / guided reading chapter by chapter.
The first few 3 chapters formatted and nicely presented for reading with some great class or guided reading activities from ‘The Twits’
Suitable for Year 2 / 3, but easily adaptable if required.
EXTRAS: MARCH 2019
A script that can be used to act out
Up to Chapter 8 Printable
A Great Video for ‘Wormy Spaghetti’
In PowerPoint (Windows) AND Keynote (Mac) format
I am delighted to offer a unique and fully editable version of ‘countdown’ in PowerPoint format with theme music, timer, cards that flip etc. Just change the numbers to suit your students. This took a lot of time to make initially in Keynote (Mac) format and I have successfully converted it into PowerPoint.
Great as a starter in Numeracy Lessons.
Different formats added!
1st Feb 2017 due to comments, PowerPoint formats should be able to use and edit fully now, please email me on daveorritt@mac.com if you cannot access the effects, it may just need a setting changing on your PowerPoint program.
Suitable for lower KS2.
Ideas for a pirate topic, ideas and worksheet to make your own pirate flag, pictures to help plan a character description and a storyboard template.
