<p>A fun board game for the first week of school.</p> <p>Children can play in their teams on their tables, all you need is some dice and counters.</p> <p>I keep mine in my Golden Time cupboard for the children to play whenever they want to. Have fun :).</p>

<p>A complete timeline of WW1, designed to be used as a history/drama activity.</p> <p>Pitched for KS1, possibly lower KS2 but language can be easily adapted for other year groups.</p> <p>30 ‘flags’ are attached to the end of the powerpoint so every child and take part in the re-enactment and bring history, and the importance of Remembrance Day, to life.</p>

<p>A starter lesson to introduce children to the Great Fire of London and the concept of source analysis.</p> <p>There are a selection of ‘clues’ - sources - for children to analyse that tell them WHAT, WHEN and WHERE something important happened.</p> <p>This could be an independent, partner or group activity - each set of clues in an envelope, after analysing one set, coming to a conclusion and explaining their conclusion (recording sheet attached) the children move onto the next clue.</p>

<p>A maths investigation that targets measuring skills, supported by addition/subtraction, multiplication and directionality.</p> <p>There are two differentiated ‘recipes’, children must soilve the problems on the recipe to determine the quantities needed for their marvellous medicine.</p> <p>A bit of shopping is required for ingredients (water+food colouring, flour, muesli, custard powder and Angel delight) and it can get a bit messy, but my class loved it and everyone was engaged in every aspect of the maths.</p>

<p>My school has a very high percentage of EAL children and I use these cards as a way to celebrate all the languages within my classroom - plus a few more.</p> <p>I have them laminated in a special <em>‘What language shall we use today?’</em> bucket so children can choose one at random.</p> <p>(Based on Google Translate)</p>

<p>A great game for the first week of school, to encourage discussions around how we are the same and how we are different.</p> <p>I printed mine on different colours to make the different sets easily identifiable.</p> <p>Children pick two adjectives to best describes themselves out of a wide range of choices and keep them hidden from the rest of their table.</p> <p>Repeat with their favourite subject, animal and colour.</p> <p>Then the big reveal! Children show the rest of their table their choices and identify similarities and differences.</p> <p>This can lead to a whole class discussion about how all their different strengths will make yours the best class ever!</p>

<p>An explanation of main clauses and an introduction to subordinate clauses and how to construct complex sentences using subordinate clauses.</p>
