I strongly believe in mass, active participation and my resources will reflect this. Differentiation is also key to my teaching. The most important factor in my teaching is always fun! I have observed well over 100 lessons and I am confident which resources can be used to enhance learning.

This three week planning unit covers a range of activities and objectives. I have included the planning, PowerPoints and Success Criteria templates. This could easily be adapted for Years 2-5. I am currently using it for Year Three and the children have very much enjoyed the unit. At the end of the three week unit the children will write their own version of Flat Stanley using the Powerpoint and Success Criteria as an aid.
All documents and PowerPoints can easily be edited to suit you needs.
Enjoy!
This is a wonderfully simple resource that is great for target setting. I use this for Maths and Writing and stick it on the inside of both books. Each half term, I set two new targets that are specific to the individual child. One target sheet for the whole year!
This is a PowerPoint presentation that could be used in class and for a school assembly. Your children will enjoy the story and it will hopefully help them make better decisions afterwards. Enjoy!

This is a lovely resource which will prepare your children for Sports Day and will teach them all about Teamwork, Resilience and trying ones best. This could also be used at the beginning of a PSHE lesson. The resource has been adapted from a famous story about 'The Tortoise and the Hare'. Enjoy!
This is a Who Wants to be a Millionaire themed assembly to teach the children about resilience. Each question is linked to the theme resilience, and after each correct question they receive a letter. We call it 'Who want to win a word?' I have also included a story that can be used to support the assembly and a video link to further enhance the message being shared. The assembly time will be around 20-25 minutes and if you want to impress your colleagues and ensure the children have a fun, interactive learning experience, then this assembly presentation is for you. This presentation is completely editable, which will allow you to make slight changes to suit your context.

This 2 page document is to allow your children to have a 'Pupil Voice' and comment on what they enjoy about school. Older children should be able to complete this independently, whereas Key Stage One students will need adult support.

Each Week I ask my class a Maths riddle. You will find three riddles a week for 21 weeks. Sometimes my class receive the riddle on day one of the week and are still going on day 5!

Olympic Day/Parade/Assembly: **** Special price for month of June ****
This resource was used last week for a whole school entry point. The school was divided into 15 countries and took part in a whole school assembly and parade. The 15 countries reflect the 5 Olympic Rings, with 3 countries being chosen from each continent (The Americas being one).
Olympic Entry Point PowerPoint:
This PowerPoint shares a brief history of the games, followed by 15 slides to reflect the 15 countries. Each slide has a country flag with the national anthem playing in the background. The national anthems play automatically and all timings have been preset.
During the parade I also shared facts about each country. This is attached as a Word document. I read these out during each national anthem.
Olympic Introduction:
This is a great activity that can be used as a warm up activity during the assembly. It is based on the popular TV programme 'Family Fortunes'. During the presentation click on the number if the children get it correct and click on the 'X' if they get it incorrect. Great fun for teachers vs. students.
Olympic Scoring Card:
This was used for the 5 events during the day. I have just added this to give you a flavour of the day.
Enjoy!
This is a fun, interactive game that promotes active participation and can be easily differentiated. It would be great for an observation! On each slide a question appears on the screen and all the children have to think about the answer. After 6-8 seconds a name flashes across the screen and that child should shout out the answer. The children love this game and you should all give it a go! Tip - Repeat a child's name, so that they never know when their name will appear. It will be one of the best Maths warms up you will ever do!
This planning consists of five sessions with warm up ideas, games key objectives. It is suitable for Years One and Two, although could be adapted for older students.
