Hi all,
This is just something I whipped up on word to accompany my vocabularly teaching. I use Jane Considine’s “The Write Stuff” approach but I like to have something visual on my working wall as a reminder to focus on word choice for meaning and effect. I print these as the paint selection ones from DIY stores are great for individual use but are too small for display. I write words on with a black permanent marker for my working wall. I hope you find them useful or save you a few minutes instead of making them from scratch.
Please let me know how you use them by tagging me on Instagram @Misshb_teacher xo
These are slides prepared to teach mental strategies to Year 5 pupils. I have used a selection of materials aligned with Whiterose but mixed with some of my own creations. I find it easier to teach from my own slides rather than WR as the individual clicks drive me mad. There is some slow paced strategy-practise and then some more fast-paced problem solving, all building towards independence.
Banners save so much more time that letters! This is super simple printable banner to display in your classroom. Work smarter and not harder as they say!
A simple visual timetable for KS2. Including a “whoops” to use in case there are last minute changes. Including all core and foundation subjects and a few general daytime activities such as break, lunch, assembly, reading, special events etc.

Here is a classroom jobs poster I created. I printed mine as two A4 documents, stuck them together and laminated them. But, this being said, you could have them as individual tickets or perhaps as strips and attach pegs with names on either side. They are flexible and of course the jobs are suited to my setting so you will probably want to edit them. I hope you enjoy. Miss HB x
This presentation is useful for Artist Studies. The voice files may or may not work so you may have to delete them but otherwise its good to go. I may have gone a little wild on the presentation features as this is an upcoming topic for the kiddos so wanted to get in some cross-curricular questions too (perhaps this is helpful, perhaps not). I have directed this work at Paul Cezanne’s still life and use of sketch book to promote resilience, creativity in experimentation and viewpoint - this supports our overall topic. Edit as you wish but please tag me on instagram @misshb_teacher
Thanking you kindly - Miss HB x
Here are some pastel coloured sentence starters for Reading. These were recommended by an old mentor. However, I’m unsure where the original idea comes from. I have edited mine slightly so they are smaller - although could be blown up on the photocopier or decreased further to make a table support. Please edit them as you please but tag my instagram @misshb_teacher and show me what you have done with them. Miss HB x
Hey guys,
Here is the overview of my drawing planning for Year Five drawing. It shows the steps and order that I have organised the unit and therefore may be useful as a starting point for anyone planning in this area. Please enjoy and let me know how you use it.

Hello guys,
Here are some pre-made english display letters with a leaf theme. They would go well with a ranforest topic or natural themed classroom. I hope you enjoy.
Thank you

Hello. This activity is a sorting worksheet for words. The learners use it to sort the relevance or effectiveness of vocabulary in context. For example, when looking at synonyms of the word big, children may generate words but then given the context of space, decide that some words generated are not as effective in this context or relevant so they organise them using the rings.
In this resource, you will find a sheet that can be used as a worksheet and a larger copy for display purposes.
Please show me how you use the resource and or review it. You can also tag me on instagram @missHB_teacher
Hi Guys,
This is some pre-made Art Gallery lettering with a splattered paint design. To save the environment a little, you could print this on card instead of laminate it. Card is durable and can be recycled whereas laminated paper cannot.
Please tag me on instagram to show me how you use my resource. I would love to see missHB_teacher.
Thanking you kindly.

This is a simple assessment grid which can be used after a lesson or topic. It is great to get children reviewing their own learning and seeing what might be left to cover. Super way to represent pupil voice in anything that you are learning. Enjoy.
This is a full lessons set of slides for Roman Numerals aimed at Year 5 students.
I create my own slides and activities to allow students to better access the worksheet tasks from a well-known maths scheme. This lesson includes arithmetic warm up, a review of previously learned roman numerals, fluency, reasoning and problem solving. Its adaptable so you can add your own photos etc.
This is a simple lessonon the 6 times tables. No fuss or confusion. Fun and simple. High participation.
Approx 30-45 minutes long with a mixture of 6 times table practice and games. I have been teaching Year 4 and we used an additional after lunch slot for times table practice and I wanted it to be fun, fast-paced, packed with verbal fluency, visuals and games, and focused on recall and fluency as we were digging deeper in our maths lessons. This lesson comes with a set of slides, dyslexia friendly, and a resource sheet for some quick recall.
Slides are adaptable so please, make them your own.

This pack includes 5/6 English lessons with Reading skills and comprehension mixed in. It is based on the text Peace Lily and uses this as a driver into writing cinquain poems. I recommend you buy a copy of the text or you can access online readings of the text on you tube. Every thing in here is simple but works very well. all slides included and any worksheets for lessons too. I’ve included my notes for some guidance too. This all meets UKS2 reading and writing objectives but can easily be slowed down for LKS2 with a few tweeks.
Lesson 1 - reading the text and idenifying themes
Lesson 1/2 - comprehsion questions (may need a second lesson for this)
Lesson 3 - Analyse the poems and write a guided example
Lesson 4 - plan and write a cinquain about Peace Lily, Nurses in the war.
Lesson 5 - Proofread and edit against the success criteria and publish.
I hope you enjoy!
This slide deck and accompanying printable is designed to help practice fluency of key facts and curiosity about these facts. The slides take you through some odd one out activities, counting using number stick visuals, spot the missing number, bar models, sentence stems, arrays, worded problems, times table bingo, beat the teacher and a mini quiz. As well as, independent practice using the provided resource sheet.
my ethos is keep it simple. There is ordered and disorder questions, as well as reasoning and problem solving, littered with partner talk, guided and independent work. This lesson is fun, active and a great accompaniment to anyone preparing Year 4 for the Multiplication Check.
This slide deck and accompanying printable is designed to help increase recall and fluency of key facts and curiosity about these facts through reasoning. The slides take you through some odd one out activities, counting using number stick visuals, spot the missing multiple, bar models, sentence stems, arrays, groups, worded problems and using known facts, paired with engaging activities such as beat the teacher, times table bingo and a mini quiz. The slides follow an I do, We do, you do approach and have a sheet with varying levels of challenge to ensure independent application.
My ethos is to keep it simple, remove barriers to understanding and cognitive overload by keeping the slides clean, relevant and dyslexia friendly. There are ordered and disordered questioning, reasoning, problem solving, lots of oracy opportunities and discussion. This is a fun lesson - tried and tested by myself and my colleagues!
When creating a working wall, it is essential that students can access the information there. Yes, they aren’t suppose to be polished-perfect spaces but learners must be able to find what they are looking for, otherwise we end up placing more barriers on them trying to access the information they need to help them. These signs support that.
Laminate them or print on card (better for the environment) then add to your working wall. Add examples under the headings throughout the unit to ensure when they get to their final piece, children can write independently and know where to look for reminders of the expected standard.
