I have created a visual version of the Ourselves topic using all the key keywords a student needs to be able to recognise, use and say. It is a perfect way of either creating a instant display or as a warm up, review or revision of a topic. The pictures are colourful and will help to promote conversation in the classroom.
This is a fun PowerPoint which has different shadows. The students need to name what is making the shadow and also what time of day might this photos have been taken.
It is a nice class warm up or fun end of lesson game.
Want to inspire your students? These pictures form the basic parts of a story to get them thinking. The pictures can be simply mixed up to change the story.
The different pictures from the different stories could all be mixed up to create a really interesting mash-up of different stories.
A real challenge is to see if a class can create a whole story from all the different images in the presentation!
The students can take these images and mix them up to create their own stories. There are two different ways of using this resource. You would separate the stories out, as I have done, or simple go wild, print them all out, laminate them and shuffle them and then use them as a starting point for student's own stories. The real challenge is to see if a class can use them all and still make a coherent story!
I have used a wide range of inspirations to create a fun conversation starting lesson about Christian Aid week. This lesson looks at different issues which may be covered in Christian Aid week such as what is war, what is peace, what is a home and how we can help our fellow man, woman and child.
I have started using conversation starters in my own lessons with great effect and I think you will also enjoy using them in your own lessons.
As stated in the presentation, while these resources will help you present your Christian Aid week lessons in class, I have no connection with Christian Aid.
I love to get the students really talking about an issue. I saw another teacher do it and thought that this looks really effective.
My Walk to School Week teaching resources are designed to get the students to think about why we should walk to school, what are the alternatives and the benefits and the costs of walking to school using different modes of transport. They are also designed to get students really talking, listening and expressing their own ideas.
My teaching resources could be printed out and made into an eye catching, thought provoking display or used as a whole class discussion stimulus.
I am now making a new series of resources like this, so that teachers and students can get a lot more out of every lesson.
Transformative Daily Reflection: 21 Days of Positivity!
I am excited to share a powerful new activity that encourages students to focus on the positive aspects of their lives! Each day, students will reflect on four things that are good in their lives and one moment of happiness from the current day. You would be amazed at how challenging this simple task can be for children!
Why This Activity is a Game Changer:
Daily Positivity: By engaging in this reflection every day for 21 days, students will develop the habit of identifying and appreciating the positive and happy moments in their lives. This practice can truly transform their outlook and enhance their overall well-being.
Meaningful Conversations: This activity also creates a wonderful opportunity for both teachers and students to come together each day to discuss what makes them feel good and what went well. These discussions can foster a supportive and nurturing classroom environment where everyone feels valued and heard.
Perfect Afternoon Activity: I recommend implementing this activity as an afternoon reflection. It serves as a calming and uplifting way to wrap up the day, allowing students to transition into their next activities with a positive mindset.
Let’s Cultivate a Culture of Positivity!
By encouraging students to focus on the good in their lives, we can help them build resilience and a positive self-image. Join me in this exciting journey of personal growth and happiness, and let’s empower our students to embrace the joy in every day!
The Importance of Free Christmas Posters in the Classroom
The festive season brings with it a unique opportunity to foster a joyful and inclusive atmosphere in the classroom. Free Christmas posters serve as a valuable resource for educators, enhancing the learning environment in several significant ways.
First and foremost, these posters create a visually stimulating space that captures students’ attention and ignites their enthusiasm. Bright, colorful designs featuring holiday themes can transform an ordinary classroom into a warm, inviting environment that reflects the spirit of the season. This change in decor can inspire creativity and encourage students to engage more actively in their learning.
Moreover, Christmas posters can serve as educational tools. They can introduce students to various cultural traditions associated with the holiday, promoting awareness and appreciation for diversity. By displaying posters that highlight different customs and celebrations around the world, educators can foster discussions about multiculturalism and inclusivity. This is particularly important in today’s diverse classrooms, where understanding and respecting differences is crucial for social harmony.
In addition, free Christmas posters can be used to reinforce key academic concepts. For example, math posters featuring holiday-themed problems can make learning more enjoyable and relatable. Language arts posters with festive quotes or vocabulary words can enhance literacy skills while keeping students motivated. Integrating holiday themes into lessons not only makes learning fun but also helps to create memorable educational experiences.
Lastly, the act of decorating a classroom with Christmas posters can promote a sense of community and belonging among students. When they see their classroom adorned with festive imagery, it can evoke feelings of excitement and anticipation for the holidays, fostering a positive classroom culture.
In conclusion, utilizing free Christmas posters in the classroom is an effective way to enhance the learning environment, celebrate diversity, and engage students in meaningful and enjoyable ways. By embracing the festive spirit, educators can create a memorable experience that resonates with students long after the holiday season has passed.

The Importance of Having 10 Free Anti-Bullying Posters in Every Classroom
Creating a safe and supportive learning environment is crucial for student success, and having free anti-bullying posters in every classroom is an essential step toward achieving this goal. These posters serve as powerful tools to raise awareness, promote kindness, and foster a culture of respect among students.
Awareness: Anti-bullying posters highlight the various forms of bullying, including physical, verbal, and cyberbullying. By educating students about these behaviors, they can better recognize and understand the impact of bullying on their peers.
Empathy: Posters that share personal stories or testimonials can evoke empathy and encourage students to consider the feelings of others. This can motivate them to stand against bullying and support their classmates.
Prevention: Free anti-bullying posters often include clear messages and strategies for preventing bullying. They can empower students with the knowledge and tools to take action, whether it be reporting incidents or being an ally.
Encouraging Kindness: Posters that promote kindness and positive behavior create an uplifting atmosphere. They can serve as daily reminders for students to practice empathy and compassion in their interactions with others.
Clear Expectations: By displaying posters that outline the school’s anti-bullying policies and codes of conduct, educators can set clear expectations for behavior. This reinforces the idea that bullying will not be tolerated.
Open Dialogue: Anti-bullying posters can spark conversations among students and teachers about the importance of respect and inclusion. This open dialogue fosters trust and encourages students to speak up about their experiences.
Positive Role Models: Featuring quotes or images of role models who advocate against bullying can inspire students to emulate these behaviors. It shows that standing up for what is right is commendable.
Community Building: By involving students in creating or selecting posters, educators can foster a sense of ownership and community. When students feel invested, they are more likely to adhere to the principles of kindness and respect.
Visibility: The strategic placement of anti-bullying posters throughout the classroom ensures that messages are visible and constant. This reinforces the importance of creating a safe space for all students.
Encouragement to Seek Help: Posters that provide information about resources, such as counselors or hotlines, remind students that help is available if they or someone they know is experiencing bullying.
In conclusion, incorporating 10 free anti-bullying posters in every classroom is vital for promoting a safe and inclusive school environment. By raising awareness, encouraging empathy, and fostering open communication, these posters play a crucial role in combating bullying and cultivating a culture of kindness among students.
