Hi! I currently work in London as a Deputy Headteacher. I love all things teaching and learning! I am extremely passionate about education and find researching and creating new strategies and ideas exciting. The world of teaching and leading in England is highly stressful and it's up to all of us to look after each other's well-being...I hope my resources save you some precious time.

Capacity

Capacity

(54)
Estimating volume - to start having a think about capacity. Jug measuring - For top ability group with support, thinking about measuring in ml and counting in 100s and 1000s. Challenging - good scaffold for relevant vocab use. Measuring out into cups - Used for my BA group to do with support. Some time will be needed to collect resources but if you put a note in the staffroom or ask parents these things can be collected faster (then keep them for next time) As said on sheet adding food colouring and sequins makes it that bit more exciting! Thank you :)

Report Statements General and Targets

Just to use for ideas. I have copied and pasted the last, general comment that I used on the end of year report to parents. Might just give NQTs a few ideas if you're stuck. They are generally very positive in line with the expectations of my current school. Also some general strengths and targets (again which my current report form asks for). Sorry it&'s slightly patchy - it&';s done for my class and their levels.

Pages for children to make a book

Pages for children to make a book

(9)
Slightly different pages for children to make a book, we are reading Elephant and Bad Baby - now the children are going to create their own book with a similar story. So we have photocopied these pages (double-sided) so children can use as many or as few as you wish. At end of lesson children created a really attractive, eye-catching front cover and wrote a blurb. May take several lessons. Can be used for a lot of other subjects. Hoping it saves you some time.

Sentence doctor

I created a surgey role-play area within my classroom and linked it with Literacy. The children can dress as a doctor or nurse and then 'mend' the sentences. We have a big box with all of the 'poorly' sentences in, children pick one out and write the sentence on the sheet correcting VCOP. Some sentences for BA, some for A and some for AA.
