This smart board lesson teaches children to understand what a flash back is by looking at short videos from well known children's films. It explores the point of flash backs, which is for us to learn more about the character's personality. It then has a follow up activity where children can create their own short film flash backs on ipads and then write them in story form.

The children spend time collecting interesting and adventurous vocabulary linked to the Pompeii disaster when Mount Vesuvius erupted. They then do some drama linked to this to explore further how it might have felt to be a civilian in Pompeii. The children will create a interesting poem using the vocabulary and their own ideas. All instructions for how to teach this and how to structure the poem are on the Smartboard. There is a link to a great video, which will bring this tragedy to life. Please leave feedback once you have completed these lessons. It could take up to a week.

This is my simple version of bingo which involves everyone having the same board! They only highlight 4 or 5 of the squares and then get that number of counters. There is a mixture of questions and subtraction vocab such as minus, less, decrease and take away. You give clues by giving the answer to one of the questions or e.g. 'this is the subtraction symbol&'. The first one to have 5 counters on their board is the winner. This is a great way to teach children subtraction vocabulary and can be used as a starter or in the plenary.

Two Carroll diagrams to sort numbers on to. The easier one is 5 times table/not 5 times table even/not even and the second one is the same but this time it is the 6 times table. You can do the easier one all together on the carpet and then the children can do the 6 times table one at their desks. I teach in a set so I can able to give them all similar work. If you have different abilities you could adapt it to the 2 times table for example. Please leave feedback!

This is suitable if you have a Smartboard.The slides take you through the debate. The children do not have to know a lot about WWI. This could be seen as a philosophy, Literacy, PSHE or history lesson. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

We pretended to go into outer space and set the classroom as up if we were in a rocket. The Smartboard was at the front, as if it were a window on the rocket. This was part of a fun topic we did on Aliens. There is plenty of chance for role play and drama. We ended up landing on a new planet,Kepler B22, and bringing back alien eggs which they had to look after. This lead to lots of drawing and writing when the eggs hatched! They wrote a recount of their trip. We also had a debate:Should we keep the eggs? Try it out-they will love it! Please leave feedback!

I have written this for our Year 3s to perform but it could be used with older children. I have two versions, one shorter than the other with less characters. I have tried to stick to the real play but used modern language. Sometimes if I could I put in some of the original language. The cast list has so many parts as we have three classes but there could easily be less, by having less narrators, percussionists etc. I have found some great songs to go with it from this the starshine website but you have to buy the CD.

We have beautifully illustrated books of this poem, illustrated by Charles Keeping which are worth getting hold of. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

The children have a price list with the cost of savoury and sweet food, party bag items and games. They can choose which products to buy and put them into tables and calculate the cost.

Read the poem 'The Sea' by James Reeves which is a metaphor. The sea is a hungry dog. Give each child a copy. Put the class into four or five teams. Photocopy the questions and chop up the questions. Each teams questions can be on a different colour paper. One team member comes up to get a question, takes it back to the team and shares it with them. Discuss answer and bring the question back to the teacher and tell them the answer. If correct they get a team point and then another member gets the next question. They love this! I have also included traditional comprehension questions that they can stick in their books, SEN/LA , MA and HA.
