This idea came about after playing the legendary game Linkee many times! It is a great way to test children’s knowledge of a variety of topics. It can be used as retrieval practice and really encourages deeper thinking as there could be many possibilities. It is also not limited to one subject and can be easily adapted for all ages and topics. This resource includes an editable template as well as several examples of how they can be used in lots of subjects. I hope you enjoy!

Tidy tub labels. I use them in the middle of each table so the children can put their paper rubbish and any other bits in there, instead of them getting up to go to the bin frequently. The tubs can then just be emptied at the end of the lesson/day :)

KWL grid to be used at the beginning and end of French topics to show what the children already know, what they would like to find out and what they have learnt.

A variety of resources for a French colours unit of work, including: pencil case activity, children read the simple sentences in French and colour the items the correct colour (this relies on them knowing pencil case items in French) Flags activity - children to read the sentences and tick which flag it is referring to Colour by numbers - children to read the numbers and colours in French and colour accordingly

A variety of French animal topic resources including: worksheet involving reading animal names and simple sentences animal match up cards (linked to Carnival of Animals music) Animal zoo template for children to draw animals and write below Animal cages used as flaps with space for children to write simple sentences on and draw animals underneath

A fantastic resource where children use their knowledge of numbers to 20 in French to crack the code. A spin off Guess Who activity where they have to work out clues to find out which character is the culprit! Combines knowledge of numbers, pencil case items and ages! The children I have done this with love it!

Made from scratch resource, aimed to look like BBC iPlayer website. This has been used previously to describe different human/physical features in a particular region but can be adapted for any region. Children responded well to it and it was an engaging resource.

This lesson is an engaging lesson where the children are active in their learning. It is very practical and involves the use of manipulatives and challenge. It includes the full lesson PowerPoint as well as accompanying resources. Hope you enjoy!

This is a great resource for retrieval practice to test what the children have learnt in previous lessons/years. I have uploaded two different kinds for two different subjects to show you how they would work in different lessons. They are easily adaptable for your own topics/subjects. These particular resources are for: Ancient Egyptians Vaisakhi

This resource is comprised of a blank world map divided into 6 sections for you to cut into 6 jigsaw pieces. The idea was that the children could first see if they could correctly assemble the world map first without any guidance. There are then labels for the children to correctly match up the oceans (blue labels) and continents (green labels).

Within this resource are several retrieval practice ideas I have made for you to use in your lessons. I have added suggestions into the examples to show you how they would work but all resources are easily editable to suit your subject/topic. Resources include: 4 x grid Retrieval pyramid List it! Picture Prompt

I have created this East Anglia introduction lesson where the children look at regions and create a key. They then identify the main counties. This lesson could be adapted to suit another England region.

Research lesson - complete lesson with full teaching PowerPoint and resources. Resources include: starter Research sheet Images of Skara Brae to examine
