E-Safety Resources and lesson plans for KS2

Project based around the 'Dragons Den' TV program. Pupils are asked to design their own toothbrush. I have converted my Keynote document I made into a movie file as I created this on a mac. Also useful for Science and 'teeth' Included are some of the worksheets I made. (Including a comprehension.)

A collection of resources for anti-bullying, many of which will spark ideas for your own planning with your class. I have included a short assembly with the excellent short animation Narrated by Kate Winslet and lots of additional resources. NEW I have included this as Mac Keynote (will work on iPad) and also newly edited PowerPoint file. An excellent idea during this week is to approach ‘dealing with anger’ with the children. A great way to do this is to use the ‘Angry Birds’ video game to spark their interest I have included a powerpoint and some posters / worksheets to help. Also some sheets that go well with the Pixar short movie included. I have also written an example ‘anti-bullying letter’ example written in shared writing with the children and a ‘Dealing with dilemmas’ PowerPoint (i.e. what to do in certain situations.) I have always found the website ‘Go-Givers’ to be excellent. NB I do not claim to own the video sections of this resource. Although many are fantastic to use!

A document for parents and pupils to sign. Invaluable for E-Safety and security. Editable as I have included my word version of the document. Has gone down well with many schools. This is a snippet from the top of the document... Parents / Carers play a crucial role in ensuring that their children understand the need to use the internet / mobile devices in an appropriate way. Research shows that many parents and carers do not fully understand the issues and are less experienced in the use of ICT than their children. The school will therefore take every opportunity to help parents understand these issues through parents’ evenings, newsletters, letters, website / VLE and information about national / local e-safety campaigns / literature. This agreement is aimed at fostering that approach. Invaluable and guaranteed to save you time.

A termly medium term plan for word processing in year 3/4.

A set of materials I made based on the Marks and Spencer’s Food Adverts. The lesson objective was to use interesting adjectives in their writing. We watched M&S food adverts, as a class explored describing different foods and then wrote our own. Included… Weekly plan (just a few ideas in a weekly plan format including this lesson, you can make your own lesson plan with some of these ideas) Word bank for this lesson Video example of advert to pick out language QUALITY Presentation (the same one) in the following formats… Mac / iPad / Keynote Powerpoint Movie Format (Following this lesson, children then wrote their own advert using descriptive language and we filmed the advert.)

An ICT policy editable for your school that I made as an Advanced Skills ICT Teacher.

Use the Internet to find the answers to the questions on this worksheet.

A collection of some of my best bookmarked sites. These have been collected by me over MANY years and some are literally GEMS! I hope this helps some people out. Please comment if you find useful!

A lesson plan I used with my year 3 class for using 'Dance EJay&' in our ICT lessons and supporting worksheet.

Finding out about plants from the Internet. Hope this helps someone out!

I designed this activity to get the children to become more accurate at counting data systematically. I have also included the answers in a worksheet. Children are required to count the number of certain letters in a passage of text. Can be linked to handling data in ICT showing the computer can be more efficient at certain tasks. Please leave a comment if you find this useful.

A range of worksheets I designed for children to find out about the best selling toys in the last 50 years and how they have changed over time. I have also included the Keynote I used in quicktime format so it will work on your PC. Please note this is a few years old so 'project natal&' is now obviously &';kinect' a good discussion point! \nOne of the activities the children had to do was to identify key selling points of toys and which market they were aimed at, this was wonderful to see their responses.

An idea for using comic life in a creative way.
