A fun set of printable emoji reward cards. They can easily be made into stickers and given to students, be used as postcards for students to take home or be put stuck in their books next to a piece of work. Smaller sizes are made and on the sheet for you to choose.

A fun way to engage students in creative writing and story telling. This tool can be used for both Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3. It is also very accessible for SEN students in lower KS4. Using these cards, students are given a story task. They need to use all six of their emoji's within their story, and can even cut out their stickers to use within their writing. A really fun exercise for students and something that stops the 'writers block' that young people often suffer.

A fun and engaging and thought provoking P4C lesson discussing pet ownership, with a simple article as stimulus. A good article to analyse for non-fiction text alongside novels as well. A great way to get students talking. The entire lesson is planned with resources, Learning Objectives and Success Criteria. Good for encouraging communication, justification of ideas and listening skills. Students really enjoy P4C and it is structured in a way that means all children can achieve.

A selection of 4 posters that explain and demonstrate classroom expectations. These include: 'Beautiful Work Every Time' which explains the expectations of a written piece of work 'The No Phone Zone' which details what happens if a phone is out in class, and what we expect. 'Makeup Fails' which explains the expectations of students with regards their appearance 'The Equipment Checklist' which details what students must have in every lesson.

To tackle the lack of enthusiasm about homework in my school I created a menu of homework. This one targets the Eduqaas poetry anthology and gives opportunities to independently research and extend learning. There are 25 homeworks already planned, differentiated by 'spice'. Since using these menus, where the students pick for themselves, the amount and quality of homework has improved.

To tackle the lack of enthusiasm about homework in my school i created a Nando's style menu of homework. This one targets all years and encourages creative writing. There are 25 homeworks already planned, differentiated by 'spice'. Since using these menus, where the students pick for themselves, the amount and quality of homework has improved.

To ensure our students understood their grades and progress, I created a tracking grid that shows each half terms grade, as well as a graph to map on their progress and a two line self made target to demonstrate they are responding to feedback and recognising how they can improve. This has been highly praised in observations.
