"Excellent resource - just what I was looking for. Thanks."
Hi!
It’s 3D shape week at my school. Thought I’d upload this week’s resources and planning for you.
Any questions, just send me an email :)

Hi there! ~_~
*includes*
Extensive Lesson plan
Deployment sheet for a TA (great for interview!)
Lesson presentation
Table labels (helpful for interviews)
Learning objective and success criteria labels for childrens’ books
A4 document of characters to describe (although I used alternative drawings that I made myself)
and some pre-written adjectives to describe given characters for LA children.
This lesson would take around 35/40 minutes, and would be perfect for a refresher lesson, or perhaps an interview. It’s greatly tweakable for different year groups and the like.
I hope it’s useful for you!
Hi there,
Here's some of this week's planning for play scripts. It's an often forgotten text type, but is helpful for many reasons.
I used this blank iphone template for children to separate who is saying what in a piece of text in order to prep them for writing a play script this week. I hope it works for you!

COVID-19 has flummoxed us all, and it is vital that we ensure none of the children in our care get left behind in any facet of English language learning. This Recovery Curriculum document outlines key, end-of-year expectations for Year 3 in line with the National Curriculum strands for English.
In this document, Year 2 expectations are included in the left-hand column and act as prerequisites to tick off before a child moves on to the Year 3 expectation. This acts as a net to catch any gaps that may have manifested due to the time off in lockdown during the academic year of 2019-2020.
How do I use this product?
I will be sticking these into the back of the children’s books and ticking them off when completed.
They could also be assigned to a child digitally to save on paper and needless touching of joint resources.
Alternatively, these could be used holistically for an entire class, or for emerging, expected & exceeding groups.

Hi there!
Here's another lesson pack for you, this time with map reading and using grids in Maths and Geography.
The Thursday's lesson is pretty intense- it involves a geocaching type event, with the class hunting around the playground using their own map of the playground that they have gridded up.
Only thing you'd need to do is provide a map of your playground, or even classroom.
LO's, success criteria and learning outcomes outlined.
Lots of activities!
Enjoy!

Hi there,
Here's a big pack of two-way differentiated mental maths questions.
Our school calls them '10 for 10' questions, but this is easily editable on all worksheets.
They focus on age related expectations in Maths, and each week has a different focus.
Some of these focuses include:
Finding 1/2 mentally
Finding 1/4 mentally
Subtracting
Adding
+ and - involving money
3D shape properties
Times Tables practicing etc.
I hope this helps.
If you need anything, please message and I shall fix/assist as soon as I get the message.

In this small resource pack, you will receive an A3 sheet on which the children must add their own pictures and drawings. There’s a list of tasks down the right side, and the Learning Objective is clearly outlined at the top of the page.
If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to contact me directly and I can help you any way you need.

Hi All!
Here’s a pack of resources that can be used for diary entries and descriptions of Mr Morris Lessmore (and his fantastic flying books, of course!)
There are differentiated writing frames, worksheets that’re attractive for presenting work and photos for stimuli.

Home Learning, project-based activities, perfect for distance learning or homework.
This is a ‘design your own country’-themed, distance learning project that will be used whilst the children are off school. This resource spreads across 4 tasks (these could be set weekly or daily) which last for an hour each. The activities see children coming across a new, previously-undiscovered country- they’ll need to: - Write a fact file about biome, climate, fauna and flora found in the country
Create a new currency for the inhabitants
Develop a new written language and decipher messages in code
Write the laws for their citizens to follow!
This download includes:
PDF version of the 4-task home learning project
Word Document version of the home learning project for editing

England: This task would work great for KS2 (Key Stage 2) and it fits in with the Year 3 national curriculum expectation
