There are so many different national days to celebrate throughout the year. I have created presentations about a wide range of them. These could be used as displays, or as an excellent starting point for a discussion about the day’s topic. This is part 2 of a 2 part series. These could also be used as part of a set of school assemblies.
I have collected a very wide range of different National Day presentations I have created, from throughout the year, such as Science Day, Commonwealth Day, European Day of Languages, Mountain Day and Pancake Day, to name but just a few of them!
Are you looking for a wide range of different teaching resources for September to December? I have collected them and arranged them neatly by month, to help teachers have the different topics at their fingertips. These resources could be used for displays or as an excellent set of starting points for class discussions.
Are you looking for month long celebrations? I have brought together my Black History Month, Walk To School Month, Happiness Challenge, and Big Draw into a single, easy to use bundle.
Are you looking for a cross curricular winter resources? In this bundle, you will have a creative writing task, winter images and even some Christmas picture frames you can use for a wide range of different art and craft topics.
Are you interest in mountains? These images are designed to be used both as an easy way of creating a display and also a starting point for discussions about mountains. Can you find the different mountains shown? How many different mountain sports have your class tried? These could be a perfect resource for a data handling class.
Here are some interesting presentations you can discuss with your class about how to be safe on the road and also how they can use their cars less. These presentations are designed to be used as displays or a visual prompts to get the class talking about the importance of road safety and the impact cars have on the environment. How many different ways can your class think of travelling without needing to use a car?
Are you wanting your students to study harder and work smarter? Then these posters and teaching ideas might help them to achieve their real potential. They can use the 3D monthly target to keep focused. The motivational posters should help them keep their dreams in sight, while they can refer to the different learning guides to make sure they remember how to learn effectively.
This is my environmental bundle. It has presentations on different types of pollution and the environmental problems we face. It also examines in detail climate change. In addition, it reviews habitats and the local environment.
Are you teaching about water, the sea, oceans, the water cycle or rivers? Then I am sure you would find this wonderful collection of water related presentations, quizzes and creative writing prompts, very useful. These resources can be used for a wide range of different age groups and as part of a cross-curricular unit
I love guided reading. I love to get the children to discover more from every book they read. I like my students to look at the same book from different viewpoints, such as by using Thinking Hats to get more out of each book. I have created a wide range of different worksheets which you can use time and again with different books. Try them today.
This is a collection of different early reader books and teaching resources I think you will really enjoy using. I developed my own thinking scarves reading scheme as a replacement for the thinking hats reading scheme and I even converted a whole set of books which could be used with the scheme. I also created PowerPoint versions of a wide range of different “Can you spot it books” where you need to find all the different objects listed in the picture.
This is a set of presentations about different forms of transport. The presentations would be a great way of getting a class to use a wider range of descriptive terms, especially when it comes to describing colours, the locations and the number of wheels they can count. This a good way to introduce the topic of cars and transport. I have also included two ‘Talk a lot’ teaching units about transport and cars. Finally, I also included the car free day presentation, to see how many different forms of transport the children can identify. Ask your students to describe what are the pros and cons of using each type of transport.
This is my toy bundle. It shows a range of modern toys and compares them to toys from the past. Which toys are still popular from the past? I also included a creative writing prompt to encourage the students to write about the different toys in more detail.
This is my cross curricular weather topic. I have a presentation about different types of weather which you could use to teach them the vocabulary they need to describe the weather. This is followed by a fun 'Talk A Lot' set of lessons about the weather and finally there is a vocabulary quiz which shows they can now successfully talk about the weather.
Why use this when the questions and answers are free online? Simply because I have taken the questions and *COMBINED* them with the answers, making the lesson a lot simpler to teach!
I love to revise grammar. I don't like needing to constantly refer between the answers and the questions to get the most out of each lesson. I decided the simplest thing was to simply combine the question paper and the marking schemes into a single document. The idea is simple - you ask a question - the children then show their answers and then you check the answers as a class against the official marking scheme answers.
This helps to keep revision fun and the lessons snappy.
I collected together thousands of different report comments used by the QCA to describe learning outcomes and created a whole school report writing tool for every class in a primary schools. It will save you hours and hours when you write your reports. I can now write all my school reports in an afternoon or a couple of evenings.
I have used this set of report writing comments for the last 10 years. I have included a link to help you download the freeware report writing software and also a step by step guide to help you get the most out of this wonderful software.
I have gone through hundreds of different teaching schemes written by the QCA and I have re-written their learning outcomes as report comments. It is now possible to simply click the different things a student has achieved in a specific topic and cut and paste it into your school reports.
I have made sure that for English and Maths, that it is possible to differentiate between high, middle and lower achieving children. Each report is still written with a single child in mind, and so every report still comes out unique and special to that student. The difference being you now simply add their name, their sex and click on the statements which are relevant to them.
In the past, I have received great praise for this material and often it has been described as a life or career saver, when teachers needed to produce a complete set of high quality teaching resources in a very short time.
Please note - due to the huge number of different files and comments I have produced, it is still possible there will be an occasional typo in the comments bank. Please read and check your reports after writing them to make sure they are perfect before sending them out.
Here are some of my best presentations and teaching activities which are linked to water. There are story prompts, a research skill worksheet and visually exciting pictures.
Here is an extra special deal. This bundle combines environmental presentations and teaching resources in a single package. There is plenty of resources you can use to in the classroom.
