A lesson all about the harmful affects of smoking. The lesson begins with children deciding if statements about smoking are true or false. There are also facts and images about what is in cigarettes and how smoking affects your body. The lesson provides plenty of scope for discussion with extra discussion questions at the end.

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.

A lesson designed to calculate the perimeter of simple 2D shapes. The lesson is based on finding the perimeter of rectangles and squares. There is an element of ruler skills for measuring sides of rectangles. Finally, there is a ‘Chilli Challenge’ that can be supplemented with work that you feel suits the needs of your class based on AfL. I usually do fluency practice with children working towards the expected standard, varied fluency with children working at the expected standard and ensure my greater depth children are doing problem solving.

A lesson for year 3 based on solving perimeter problems. This lesson builds on a knowledge of regular 2D shapes and shows a variety of different problems.

Excellent powerpoint for use with KS2 in teaching Ancient Egypt. The resources explains about the different Gods that the Ancient Egyptians worshipped and also background information for why they worshipped in this way.

This is a pack of lessons I have used to teach the decimals objectives in year 5. I found that using multibase helped visually support the place value for the children - that is what the symbols on the slides refer to but can be removed if necessary. Each lesson follows a similar format for familiarity and continuity. This was taught using Target Your Maths - Year 5 for the independent work the children carried. Again, this can be changed to suit your class.

Lesson slideshow for the year 5 maths learning objective. The work choices available are from Target Your Maths - Year 5. This lesson was used for an observation and graded outstanding. Can be used to build on children's prior knowledge of perimeter and angles.

A fantastic resource for a full week - encouraging children to think like entrepreneurs! The task is to create a brand new box of chocolates. From designing the chocolates and making the packaging, to writing a persuasive speech and presenting their products to the class! It gets the children to think about costing their chocolates - market research and conducting questionnaires. The children work in groups in the style of 'The Apprentice'.

A lesson to help children learn about acute, obtuse, reflex and right angles. There are lots of whole class and talk partner activities. The outcomes being that children can draw each type of angle and estimate the size of given angles.

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.

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!

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.

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!
