English - Night of the Gargoyles bundle (Upper KS2)
An incredible English scheme of work for upper KS2, using the book ‘Night of the Gargoyles’, inspired by HertsforLearning and adapted for my class. There are ten lessons in total. This was a great tool for creative writing and encouraged some beautiful descriptive pieces particularly from my boys.
Resource bundle includes: Lesson Powerpoint (PDF) and accompanying resources. Each lesson includes modelling for each task.
I hope you love this book as much as me and my pupils did!

L3 Karma (Upper KS2)
Third RE Lesson looking at ‘What helps Hindu people as they try to be good?’. This lesson is the first of six lessons looking at Hindu teachings. The lesson is inspired by the Bedfordshire RE Scheme, but includes a lot of personalisation, tailoring each lesson to the needs of my Year 6 class and ensuring that the content is accurate and vocabulary rich.

Show Don't Tell Me - English Descriptive Writing
This bundle contains 29 different emotion cards, which can be made into hand-sized resources for descriptive writing. I pin my to my English working wall, as a resource for pupils to use if needed, but they would work on table tops too! Each card has eight sentences, which show an emotion rather than telling how a character feels.
So rather than pupils writing:
Emmy feels sad…
They could utilise the resource to write:
Emmy hung her head low. She took a deep, heavy breath out of her trembling lips…
Word Class Visual Aids
I created these as visual aids to be hung above my interactive whiteboard, as a reminder of each word class. Great for a teaching resource or a personal memory aid.
Includes ** 8 different word classes**, with examples, descriptions and visual prompts.
verb
noun
adverb
adjective
determiner
preposition
conjunction
pronoun
Enjoy!

Recommended Book of the Week
I’ve collated a range of book recommendations for my Year 5’s to display in my book corner throughout the year. I’m hoping these will act as hooks to engage my pupils and encourage them to read something new!
Within this resource, there are 16 pages of recommendations: each page contains 3 book recommendations (48 recommendations in total) for pupils ranging from 9-12 years old. Each recommendation includes a quote, the book cover and a summary/blurb of the book.
The recommendations are around A6 in size, but could be printed larger. I’ve opted for a green gender-neutral checkerboard design, as I know it’s a design which all pupils will enjoy.
I hope your class are inspired by these as much as mine have been!
please note: I’ve included more books than 1 per week, as I’ve tried to account for books being used within the curriculum

Printmaking L1 - Introduction to Printing (KS2 Art and Design)
This lesson is the first of six lessons introducing print-making (preferably for upper KS2). I have created this scheme using skills that I have acquired over the years, training in Print-making throughout my Fine Art degree and teaching Art and Design to KS2 for over 5 years.
This has been a really popular scheme for my pupils, which teaches a variety of print-making skills: mono-printing, screen-printing, relief and collagraph (relief) printing. I’ve taught it within the classroom and an art room. It would be worth investing in screens for the screen printing lesson.
Resource bundle includes: Lesson plan, Visual Language word mat, Lesson Powerpoint (PDF cursive, PPT and PPT cursive versions available - please note the powerpoints may need slight reformatting depending on your font settings) and accompanying resources/scaffolds. Each lesson includes a starter, modelling for each task, an evalution and an end of the lesson plenary.
Slide one: LO: To research printing artists and evaluate their work.
Slide two: Starter: What printing techniques have you tried?
Slide three: Different types of printing: planar, relief, intaglio
Slide four: Word mat
Slide five: Self-evaluation with modelling
Slide six: End of the lesson quiz
