This is a slides how focusing specifically on degrees in turns. It uses the theme of skating to show that there are 360 degrees in a turn and encourages children to spot that each quarter turn is a multiple of 90 - it invites children to calculate the degrees needed for a turn and a half, and two turns. The guided activity asks children to stand and turn as per instruction e.g. 90 degrees right, (on imaginary skateboards). This activity would be ideal for a lesson starter, and outside of the maths lesson to keep up interest. It also works well inking to clips of snowboarders and BMXers doing spins - sometimes children can listen in the commentary for how big the turn was, and sometimes you can pause and count the turns as they take place.

Real-life examples of acute, obtuse, reflex, right and straight angles drawn from skating. Each angle type is clearly introduced Followed by an example of how this relates to skating Interactive task/printable. This resource works well with Skater Angles, which focuses an input on degrees in turns. These lessons complement a learning journey based on skating; further resources are available at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/narrative-writing-bubble-wrap-boy-11868862 If you like this resource, I would be grateful if you could leave a review.

An introduction to imperial measurements This resource gives a comprehensive overview of what imperial measurements are This is ideal to precede written work on converting between measures Includes printables for practical activities Children familarise themselves with concrete examples of imperial to metric conversions. The practical activities could be run as one lesson as a brief carousel, a whole afternoon set of activities, or a series of lessons in a unit on measure, focusing each day on a different measure (Length, weight/mass, volume). For the practical activity, teachers will need access to standard measuring equipment, however, this resource could be used for input alone - children would gain a secure understanding of what imperial means in relation to metric. Slides can also be printed directly from the ppt (full page slides) as posters for your working wall - there is a useful one on how prefixes can help you identify one metric measure in relation to another - milli- centi- deci- etc. If you like this resource, you may also like https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/metric-conversion-problems-weight-11881646 Metric conversions I would be grateful if you could leave a review for this resource, after you have used it in class.

Powerpoint presentations with printables for the first 5 days of this teaching unit.

This assembly explores the Christian value of humility using Palm Sunday and the symbolism of Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem on a donkey. It is ideal to use during the week preceding Easter (Holy Week) or in the lead up to Palm Sunday. Start by asking children what words they would use to describe the white horse. There is a word art image with likely answers. This assembly encourages children to think of ways they can practise the Christian value of humility, and ends with a prayer. It could also be used as part of a lesson input in a church school where children then create their own palm frond crosses, from paper or real palm leaves. I would be grateful if you could leave a review, once you have used this resource.

This toolkit is designed for daily use as part of a classroom routine. There are 6 weeks of daily activities included. (Three weeks of twice daily drills - ideal to use from Term 5 commencement right up to the SpaG test.) Ideal for quick revision of key concepts already taught in the lead up to SATS after Easter, or diagnostically at any other point in the year The resource follows a regular routine: Use the first slide to re-visit the grammar rule. Active teaching of concepts already taught. Children complete the activity on the second slide independently (e.g. during the register on whiteboards, rough books or dedicated SpaG books; this slide could be locked onto the IWB using the freeze function) Third Slide gives the answer to the SAT style question asked in slide 2. and encourages peer to peer feedback. The SATs questions have been created from scratch and are based on the content of previous papers Tip: Make a copy of the whole presentation for next year, then delete each set of three slides once taught for easy navigation to the correct day. This toolkit contains 100 slides of active revision. I would be grateful if you could leave a review.

This introduces vocabulary for common household pets. This bumper powerpoint includes: French voice recordings for each animal. Guess the missing picture game (Que manque-t-il?) Guess the animal by the sound it makes (C’est quel animal?) Watch carefully to count the number of animals Animated noughts and crosses (Morpion) Printable word search. This resource is suitable for a variety of ages - photographs have been carefully selected to look modern and appealing; the activities are best used over several short sessions - introduce vocabulary and then come back to some of the other activities at other times.

Just a bit of fun - this could be used when teaching French on a themed day such as World Book Day or maybe a Harry Potter themed event is taking place at your school. It is a short (5 question) quiz that shows how the titles of Harry Potter books have been translated, and the characters, so it could be used as a starter. I would probably use it to elicit a brief discussion about whether people’s names should be translated - or not - in this case, they often need translating, as the name also conveys the character, a bit (like Miss Honey in Matilda) in the French translations of the Harry Potter books, many characters have different names e.g Snape = Rogue, but in the German translations, they are not altered - can give older children an idea about the subtleties of translating! **Tip: **I have used a special Harry Potter font (which I love!) to make it more relatable. This can be easily downloaded for free with a quick internet search.

This is a twist on a getting-to know-you exercise to do, perhaps, with a new class, on a transition, or when starting German after a break, if the teaching is staggered. The printout (print directly from ppt slides) is designed to look like a Facebook page, entitled Deutschbook. This resource aims to engage older learners of German to revisit the basics in a manner that doesn’t feel babyish or repetitive. If you like this resource, I would be grateful if you could leave a review.

This is a lesson (teaching presentation and activity) for teaching coordinates in all four quadrants. A knowledge of coordinates in the first quadrant is assumed alongside a basic knowledge of the principles of negative numbers. The resource is survival themed (as it was delivered as part of a survival learning journey) but it could be used in any maths lesson to teach coordinates in all 4 quadrants - the theme just makes it a little more engaging. It is equally easily adaptable as a pirate treasure map activity. Children imagine themselves on a desert island. They want to create a map for their fellow castaways (or pirates) indicating where the fresh water is, the firewood etc. they must create their own desert islands, plot co-ordinates for all the key features and then state what the coordinates are in a key. Children will love the creative element of this - the maps could be decorated and improved further in pm sessions - this is the type of challenge/activity that they do again at home for the fun of it. It has been deliberately left for the children to decide what their island looks like, and what is important to plot, so that they have full ownership of the ideas. There are teaching slides on how to read and plot co-ordinates in the 4 quadrants and the activity instructions are carefully scaffolded (Children will make mistakes if asked to draw their own axes in their maths books without a clear explanation about how to do so - we discovered the hard way!) There is also a printable grid for LA pupils, who will still be able to create their own island, and plot their own features. Tip: print a few extras, so if anyone does struggle to draw the axis in their books, and needs to re-start, this could be glued in over the top. I created this resource to be used as a survival themed project over a week in maths, at the end of term - there is an accompanying resource set on reading shipping maps and timetables, and creating a look-out rota/timetable. I hope you enjoy delivering this lesson. I would be grateful if you could leave a review with a comment, once you have used it in class.

This is a simple Power Point which asks questions and answers them in the following slides, accompanied by simple graphics and photos. I would use the presentation as an overview, and then ask children to ask further questions, which they could write on speech bubbles to be displayed on the working wall. Includes: What is Hinduism? Where do Hindus worship? What do Hindus believe happens after you die? Images of gods and goddesses Do Hindus have a sacred symbol? Do Hindus believe in one or many gods? It would be good for an RE day, or topic introduction. I have used it in year 4. The children in our church school had never heard of the idea of reincarnation and were fascinated to hear about other ideas from other religions.

Les Animaux de la Jungle. Now with recorded French for each piece of vocabulary used or introduced. This is an engaging way to introduce vocabulary for animals that live in the Indian jungle. It would support a topic of India or simply use as something different to the usual animals that are taught. Games: Listen to the animal sound and say the animal that makes the noise (C’est quel animal?) Look at the picture closely and state which one is missing (Que manque-t-il) Revise numbers at the same time by watching the moving pictures closely and counting how many animals there were altogether. (Combien de…?) Also includes: A three-page worksheet that includes simple cut/stick, matching activities and a wordsearch using the new vocabulary. The powerpoint is available in two options: Autoplay soundbites for non speakers of French (learn alongside!). This duplicates slides and auto plays all French phrases. Sound clips included when you click on the icon - to vary interest and give another voice for children to listen to. The worksheets are supplied in Microsoft Word format so they are fully editable. Note: the Power Point presentations are animated which cannot be viewed in preview mode.

This practice test paper has been designed specifically for progression. It is written with deliberately more challenging vocabulary and sentence structures, to extend the learning of those children now familiar with practice test paper and content. It tests the grammar element of the SpaG test. I would be grateful if you could leave a review after purchase and implementation.

Loveliest of Trees the Cherry Now by A E Housman Whole lesson: suitable for a whole class reading session with opportunities for an extended activity (into writing, a performance during the afternoon or part of a a range of activities during a poetry-themed day or event at your school.) This is a must if you are lucky enough to have cherry trees in bloom in or around your grounds. The slide show enables the teacher to introduce key vocab and set the poem in context (time written, poet and his life) Introduces the poem - to be read out the whole way through, without pause (as a whole class/in pairs) and then there is a line by line analysis of the poem, designed to be done as a whole class, with plenty of opportunities for talk partner discussion as part of this exercise. Some prior knowledge of poetic techniques and language is assumed. (e.g personification, alliteration, a couplet) but if the pupils do not know these terms. the poem affords the perfect opportunity for them to learn them. This lesson meets the National Curriculum requirements: participate in discussions about poems, prepare poems to read out loud and perform; learn a wider range of poetry by heart. I have delivered this in Year 5 and it was really successful - but I could equally see this working in any age group - through the simplicity or complexity of the discussion. There is so much that can come from it - reading into writing - biography of the author, descriptive writing of a cherry tree, a poem about an element of a season the children find equally as attractive (there are slides to support this objective). Cross-curricular ideas - supporting science objectives - observing life cycles in own locality - I could see children sketching blossom, photo evidencing the change in seasons, pressing flowers - using pressed flowers for art work later … No separate lesson plan is needed as the slides are very self explanatory. I hope you enjoy using this resource. I would be grateful if you could leave a review.

This resource set is suitable for Year 4 (or 3 or 5 depending on ability) It includes: Lesson Presentation written using ppt fully explaining how to use RUCSAC to solve time problems using a number line. 3 sets of questions and answers (easier, middle and harder versions) The answers are on the worksheets and on the slides, so children can mark, if you would prefer. Print saving worksheets - no colour - simple cut and stick questions one by one.

This year, the clocks go forward on 31st march 2024. This assembly is ideal in the week preceding or following the clocks going forward. It is of approximately 20 minutes duration. a) Starts with a more general ‘signs of spring’ discussion b) Includes activities that can be done as talk partner discussions or questions and answers c) Includes top tips that reinforce the importance of a sleep routine d) Links to an external quiz at the end. You could tie it in with some time related problems in maths: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/how-to-solve-time-word-problems-using-rucsac-11862812 I hope you enjoy using this resource.

PRACTICE SPELLING AND GRAMMAR PAPER This practice spelling and grammar test has been designed to resemble the actual SAT test paper as closely as possible. These are original questions. They test National Curriculum content. This download includes: Practice Paper 1 Grammar and Punctuation Practice Paper 2 Spelling Mark Scheme Papers 1 and 2.

Two simple time-saving Power Point resources - one simply with each letter of the alphabet per slide, for simple teaching of the alphabet - listen/repeat exercises. One Power Point will spin randomly - when in presentation mode (push F5) through all the letters, and will stop/start again on pushing s on the keyboard. Lots of fun activities to be done with this - far beyond knowing the letters of the alphabet - depending on the level of vocabulary acquired this could be used as a starter for a - ‘un object qui commence par …’ (something that starts with …) Equally useful in other languages, and deliberately written plainly to support use in many different ways. Alternatively - print in smaller (e.g. 2 slides per page) versions and use as flash cards, or for small group games.

Most of the resources I’ve seen regarding hyphens focus on compounding. This Power Point (with printable resources within) focuses simply on other situations when hyphens might be used. It will build upon an introductory lesson, but could also be used as an introduction lesson, too. It is not too bogged down by strict grammar rules - giving examples instead. It uses humorous photographs throughout, as a means of keeping children engaged - please use with care to the age/suitability for your own class groups. Suitable for: Year 5 (Hap) or 6 (Pitched at this level - map) or beyond for lap. I would be grateful if you would take the time to review this resource.

A ppt (including differentiated activity printouts) that gives an overview to where modern day Greece is located, the make up of the land and climate. It then includes major cities and reference points of ancient Greece. (All images/maps sourced via Google images) This is for KS 2 and has supported a Year 5 introduction to ancient Greece, alongside timeline lessons and more general introductions.
