Lesson for the first time you ever meet any class in any subject.
Complete lesson, ready to use, you only need to spend 2 minutes personalising the ‘who am I’ PPT slide provided.
All Key Stages: KS2 to KS5.
ALL subjects: yes, really, all subjects and you can use it with your tutor group too !
12 new classes this week ? Easy, no effort, no pressure, no stress, great lesson, give this lesson 12 times this week ! Best £5 you’ll spend this year !
The first lesson with a new class is the most important lesson you will ever teach. You need to give this lesson to each of your new classes. Assuming you have 12 classes this year and your teaching career lasts 20 years that is a lot of classes, and all so easy! I’ve lost count of the number of times I have delivered this lesson, this truly critical lesson. It has been used and improved a huge number of times over many years.
During the lesson you will accomplish all these important things:
Sort out the seating plan during the lesson.
Learn names.
Introduce yourself to the students.
Get to know each student.
Set and agree class rules.
Rewards - find out which rewards they care enough about to try and get.
Set expectations of behaviour and ensure students recognise your authority as the teacher.
Help learners understand why work ethic is so important.
Learn about individual learners needs.
Learn about their individual likes (helps build relationships)
Learn about their individual dislikes (helps build relationships)
Start to build those all important relationships.
Start to coach / motivate the students about learning.
Happy teaching !
Yours,
Barclayfox

FREE lesson, so you can see the quality of my “Barclayfox” lessons. Ready to deliver high quality KS3 lesson from Barclayfox. This lesson introduces waves by teaching KS3 learners about: Waves, wave types, functions, wavelength, amplitude, peak, trough, longitudinal waves, transverse waves, and superposition etc.
Like all my barclayfox lessons this is a complete and ready to use high quality lesson. I have used this lesson and improved it many times with my different classes across ten+ years.
There is nothing to do but give it a quick look through it. But, if you (like me!) cannot resist making a change its modular nature makes it very quick and easy to modify it to your exact requirements.

This lesson takes the students on a journey.
It leads students to consider what they want to improve and then gives them a simple but magical tool to do it in the form of a scorecard.
Particularly useful for tutor time, or for New Years Resolutions or for any reflection and target setting or goal setting.
It can be focused on school targets and be used to encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning and achieving progress.
Useful for students and also for teacher’s - I’m much more organised and self disciplined now I use my scorecard ! :-)
Could even be used as an active assembly - each student would simply need a scorecard and a pen to participate.
Both the Powerpoint and excel files are fully editable.

Complete lesson, for the first time you meet any new class, including your tutor group.
Use this lesson multiple times during your first week! Use it at the beginning of every year.
Great for new teachers and experienced teachers.
I have been using this very successfully for over a decade in a wide variety of schools (including two “tough” schools).
It provides an interesting and highly structured introductory lesson and has ensured good behaviour - even in groups that other teachers consider to be badly behaved.

(ALL) Understand what energy is.
(ALL) Know the unit of energy.
(ALL) Be able to name the 8 energy stores (as per new 9-1 GCSE requirements)
(MOST) Understand what each store is and identify them in the world around them.
(MOST) Explain that energy transfers from one store to another
(SOME) Demonstrate an understanding of the law of conservation of energy.
What do you get?
Complete and ready to use lesson that includes:
Energy cross word worksheet - with ANSWERS.
Energy circus activity sheet - with ANSWERS.
Two carefully chosen videos
Powerpoint that navigates you and the learners throughout and includes questions, answers, peer marking, self marking, video links, plenary quiz with answers etc.
Helpsheet
Equipment list for the circus practical (simply give it to your technicians)
Why buy this?
Very high quality (over 15 hours to create).
Optimised - low teacher effort for great student results.
Tried and tested (taught to my classes in 2017 and again in 2018).
Differentiated.
Complete and ready to deliver.
Easy to use
Simple and clear.
Engaging and varied.
