This is a literacy lesson I have used a few times and has been judged as OUTSTANDING, and could be used for an INTERVIEW or OFSTED observation. The lesson focus is on writing short story anecdotes and can be adapted to be a 30 minute or 1 hour lesson. It follows a transport theme, especially flying (hence the video stimulus) and does rely on an extract from Danny the Champion of the World. The lesson could also be adapted to suit Years 4, 5 or 6. The flying video on the PPT was particularly inspiring! All resources included: Power point Presentation Detailed Lesson Plan Differentiated Worksheets Anecdote examples

Behaviour Reward Chart & Poster Pack -HIGHLY MOTIVATING LEGO NINJAGO THEME! PACK CONTENTS: 1 x Editable Behaviour Reward Chart 7 x Editable Colour-me-in Reward Posters Designed for Years 2-6 Many of the children in my class love LEGO NINJAGO, so I created a behaviour reward chart and a set of seven colourful reward posters based on the LEGO NINJAGO theme. The children love them and are really responding well, leading to a marked improvement in behaviour and work, because they so enjoy colouring the reward posters! I've started using mine more for academic targets as well as behaviour targets. All the documents are editable to suit your needs. The behaviour reward chart uses a smiley / straight face / sad face system across a week. If the child gets x amount of smileys they can colour their mini Ninjago picture for that day. If they then have a great week, gaining x amount of smileys across the week (or colouring all their mini NINJAGO pictures) they receive a A4 reward poster which they can colour in! The reward poster includes an editable text box where you can set behaviour reward targets or celebrate specific achievements. I've made the posters colourful, but they can easily be edited to be a white background if you can't print too much colour! I hope they work as well for your class as they have mine!

Set of TEN A3 sized School Pupil Character Positive Behaviour Posters A FANTASTIC set of 10 school pupil character posters to be displayed around the school to support and encourage positive behaviour. I introduced “Stella and Andrew” to the school and the children love relating to these characters. Stella and Andrew regularly appear in school assemblies reminding the children about positive behaviour choices. So this set of 10 A3 posters can be displayed around the school and also be used digitally in classrooms and in assemblies. The posters are based on Stella and Andrew characters in a BLUE school uniform. However, I have also provided Stella and Andrew pictures in a RED or a GREEN uniform. You could choose different character names for your school and on the resources document I have included a link to the website to do this easily. The posters could be edited and adapted further to include more rules and positive behaviour choices as you wish. This has made a HUGE POSITIVE impact on whole-school behaviour in our school!
