This lesson was created for an interview in Year 3 (I did get the job!). It is Christmas themed - Middy (The Elf) has written secret messages. Children solve the addition calculations to find the message. This is differentiated and includes all resources, planning and smartboard. All can be edited to suit.

Introduction to written methods of addition and subtraction with Year 3 (2 digits). Planning, smartboards and resources included. All can be adapted if needed. I have a feeling some planned lessons took more than 1 day - especially with subtraction and exchanging. Fluency, reasoning and problem solving questions included throughout the planning. Most are on the smartboards.

I made these for a Year 4 class to help them to improve the detail in their writing by describing feelings rather than just writing ‘she was scared.’ There is a smart board and a set of mindmaps. Very easy to edit.

Used in Nursery to introduce children to shapes (circles and squares). Smartboard has lots of pictures of square and circular items within the environment then a sorting activity at the end.

Join the clauses using a conjunction. Children match the clauses and choose a conjunction that makes sense. The sentences are all about Broccoli and Cauliflower. Suitable for LKS2. Nice to use as a paired or group task so the children can discuss why they think their sentence is correct.

I used this with Year 3 but would also suit Year 4. 5 Weeks of planning, smartboards and some resources (Resources not included are available elsewhere on TES) based on the book Escape from Pompeii. Some weeks have days missing in plans as lessons sometimes continued from the day before. Week 1: Reading and predicting the ending Week 2: Writing their own ending based on prediction Week 3-4: Newspaper reports (We used purple mash to present the reports which took a few days) Week 5: Kenning poetry

A Powerpoint with a range of short growth mindset and wellbeing activities. This can be used across KS2 and many activities could also be used in KS1. Activities include: Strengths and challenges Turning negative thoughts to positive What makes us special Thinking Feelings Senses Differences Activities can be used as discussion only or can be written. Hope these are helpful.

Two weeks of planning, resources and smartboards covering Year 3 objectives for telling the time in Autumn Term.

Three weeks of planning, resources and smartboards aimed at Year3 based on Stone Age. Week 1: Stone Age Boy - reading and diary writing. (This actually took me longer than 1 week) Week 2: How to Survive the Stone Age - explanation focusing on conjunctions. Week 3: Non chronological report.

Three weeks place value planning, resources and smartboards. All have fluency, reasoning and problem solving activities.
