Laylat ul Qadr Ramadan Lesson KS2
Do you want to take a more detailed look at Ramadan with your class? Why not teach them about Laylat ul Qadr? Known as the night of power, Laylat ul Qadr takes place during the last 10 days of Ramadan. It is a night of deep worship, prayer and giving to charity.
The lesson covers what Laylat ul Qadr is and how it forms part of Ramadan, how people mark this date and why certain activities take place. The main activity is to take on the role of Aadil, who is writing an email to his boss requesting time off work to mark Laylat ul Qadr. They must use what they have learnt to persuade his boss.

NQT Mentor Report Wrting Support
This pack is an NQT mentor report writing support. It supports those who are mentoring an NQT through the induction period to write reports with reflect the teacher standards. I have mentored NQTs through induction over many years and would have found it really useful to have this resource as a guide.
This resource includes:
A structure for writing the report which can be copied and pasted into the Local Authority template
A four page document with key questions and examples linked to each teacher standard which can be used to help write the report
My experience mentoring NQTs has been in primary schools, so there will be some phrases that are more tailored to primary settings e.g. reference to the teacher’s class, rather than classes, but this would be easy to adapt to suit secondary NQTs.
This is a guide rather than complete reports that can be copied and pasted. This is because NQT reports must be written about the individual teacher. However, it will certainly save time and give some valuable pointers to help you to write a report that is truly reflective of the teacher’s strengths and next steps.

When it’s the first day or first week back, having classroom rules, expectations and procedures on a set of slides is helpful! Here they are already done and just ready for you to edit (all the slides have editable text). The perfect back to school rules, expectations and procedures slides to introduce to the class how you want your classroom to work.
What’s included?
40 editable text PowerPoint slides including:
Heading slides x4 to clearly mark the different parts of the slideshow - rules, expectations, procedures and extra information
Rules slides x8 (5 rules, summary slide, rewards and consequences slides)
Expectations slides x6
Procedures slides x14
Extra information messages slides x4
Also included are blank slides in the same theme to add your own information as required
The slides have been given a rustic rainbow theme and there are 4 different page designs: there’s the heading slides and then three other page designs too, each with a different rustic rainbow image.
All the text (including titles, headings and bullet point text) is editable. However, 40 slides have been populated with text already and can be used if they work for your class. If you want some ideas for rules, expectations and procedures, there is plenty of inspiration already on these slides. All that would need editing would be a few details that would need to be made appropriate for your school/year group/class.
The rules that I have for my class are:
Rule 1: Be kind
Rule 2: Be prepared
Rule 3: Be respectful
Rule 4: Be responsible
Rule 5: Be a role model
I call these the 'Buzzy Be’e rules!
There are also three worksheets included to use to help recap the rules, expectations and procedures. These can be used directly after the PowerPoint has been introduced, or later in the week to see what the children can remember. It might also be handy to use them when the class needs a bit of a reminder about their behaviour.
Of course, you can change these to suit your class and own preferred style.
If you’re wanting first day of school reading comprehension tasks or passages and activities all about the first day of school for KS2, this resource is perfect. This set contains 3 non-fiction first day of school passages for Key Stage 2, with reading comprehension questions about each one. There is also a set of questions about all the passages, allowing the children to compare and contrast the 3 texts.
These non-fiction first day of school reading comprehension passages have been written to be interesting for the children and also so there there is plenty of scope varied questions about them. There’s a back to school checklist, a passage about what the first day of school is like in different countries and there is also a text about making the most of a fresh new year (covering activities such as goal setting). The aim was to include three varied passages, structured in different ways, to give students plenty to compare and contrast.
Here’s what you’ll get:
3 non-fiction passages: colour and black and white versions
3 sets of questions (one set per passage), again in colour and black and white
Answers for all questions
Set of questions about all three texts - color and black and white
Two activity pages about all three passages
Your class will enjoy reading the different passages and seeing if they identify with the subject matter, having just started back at school themselves. You’ll love the assessment opportunity this will give you straight away. The children will get a lot from it and so will you!
One of the real benefits of this set of non-fiction back to school passages and comprehension questions is the fact that there’s also a set of questions about all three texts. This means there can be questions asking pupils to comment on the similarities and differences between the passages. There are also questions about which passage they resonate with most. Pupils will enjoy comparing and contrasting the different texts.
What’s more, the two activity pages included also give pupils plenty of opportunities to reflect on the passages. They use the passages to decide what to pack in their bag ready for back to school; they give advice to a fictional child who is starting at a new school, using the texts for guidance; they list the parts of the passages that resonate with them and the parts that don’t; and they draw their own ideal back to school portrait and explain how it was influenced by the passages.
Preparation is no problem. Simply print the texts and questions, hand everything out and find out more about what your class knows.
This would be absolutely ideal for a back to school emergency supply day, as there is a lot for children to do and it is such a low-preparation activity.
