Hi! I currently work in London as a Deputy Headteacher. I love all things teaching and learning! I am extremely passionate about education and find researching and creating new strategies and ideas exciting. The world of teaching and leading in England is highly stressful and it's up to all of us to look after each other's well-being...I hope my resources save you some precious time.

This presentation on the EU referendum to be held on Thursday 23rd June 2016 can be used for an assembly or as a lesson.
Included is an 18 slide presentation, which covers:
-What the EU is.
-What a referendum is.
-For leaving the EU arguments.
-Against leaving the EU arguments.
-Activity ideas to take the presentation further.
-A quiz and answers.
With this resource, there is special writing paper that children could use for writing a debate or a for/against letter. There are also voting slips attached so that you can hold a class or whole-school vote.
I have aimed the resource at Y3-Y7 but the presentation can easily be adapted to suit younger or older years. I have previously found introducing politics to younger years, has worked well and created curiosity around the subject, especially if the pupils get to vote themselves.
My resources always take me a lot of time and effort to create so I hope that they help to save you some precious time - please do review my resources. Thank you!

All of the Phase 2 sounds - one per slide. A fabulous resource for recapping sounds and initiating speaking. Each sound has two slides. On the second slide there are three images linking to the picture. This resource supports vocabulary building.
Fun group signs with a table points chart for each and mini labels, which can be used to stick on pupils' books or as tokens in a behaviour management strategy. Save yourself some time preparing for a new year!
I cut these signs out, double-backed and laminated them and then hung them from the ceiling above the group's table. They could just as easily be stuck onto the wall or table.
