A carroll diagram to compare human and physical features of India and the UK. Included are a selection of images for both the UK and India for children to cut out and stick into the correct part of the worksheet.

I used this 'top trump' presentation to model how to make a top trump card for a victorian invention. I provided factsheets for around 20 different inventions and blank versions of the card. The children had to rate their invention out of 10 for impact it had on daily life, accessibility a working class victorian had to it, the year it was made (the earlier the better), do we use it now and ingenuity of the design. The children made one each and we played as a class.

This is a great sheet that can be used to break down lessons into easy to manage chunks. By writing down what is expected First, Next, Then, After and Last with short timings, children find lessons much easier to manage and can therefore achieve more. I have also included a reward section. This could be changed but is useful for children who find it particularly difficult to take part in a whole lesson.

A carousel lesson for KS1 investigating 2D and 3D shapes. Very interactive activities. Included in the resource are a lesson plan and some shape in the environment images.

Template for creating a 'Family Shield' all about yourself! Perfect for transition to create a display ready for your new class.

Class Dojo is a free reward scheme based on points that children love! They can create their own monster character. I have created some certificates that my 'Top Monsters' receive at the end of each week. I have also created a wall chart to record daily whole class points totals and the weekly top monsters. There is also a label for a box of 'Dojo Tokens'. These can be handed out if you are not currently on the dojo site or app and the children can cash them in later. A fantastic behaviour management resource!

An assembly looking at Value. Initially, there is discussion over what items are valuable to us and why. Then an explanation of how some things have sentimental value, others are priceless. Finally, there is a part on how Jesus values us all and links to quotes from the Bible.

Great number based activity for Year 4. Sherlock Holmes detective themed.

Can be used for modelling, the children should have small individual versions

This is a really simple game for KS1 or Lower KS2 children. You can use your own descriptions of shape properties and all the children have to do is work out what shape you are describing! Good plenary activity

A great sheet with child friendly questions. It's good to complete before SEN review meetings to help get the child's opinion of how things are going for them.

A great sheet where each child chooses a target relating to the 5 areas of Investors in Pupils (classroom management, induction, behaviour, attendance, learning). Each week they discuss their target with a buddy and decide if they have achieved it.

Good to be Green is a fantastic behaviour management resource. I have created this display header in which you can write a whole class behaviour target. This is a good way of creating a whole class focus.

Edit for your own class name, laminate and stick on the wall! When a child is ready to use a pen for writing, they can write their name on. A great tool to encourage handwriting skills through positive reinforcement.

If you use star of the week/day or something similar then show off your winner! I laminated this award and it gets attached to the back of the chair of the weekly/daily winner!

Each set of cards comes in yellow and orange. The idea is to pick one yellow card and then find its matching number bond. This is mainly a KS1 activity. However, I did use it with a year 4 class as a refresher activity and they loved it!

As part of a 'carnival' themed creative arts week we made our own musical instruments. We based them on sounds from Samba. The children needed to bring in recyclable materials in order to make them and it took a full day! However, the results were excellent!

Every week the children in my class are paired with a different talk partner. At the end of the week I give everyone this sheet to assess how effective they thought their talk partner was. It is excellent to encourage the children to work better in partners and think about the quality of their dialogue and interaction.
