A collection of Anne Frank Resources including a Powerpoint I made about some of her more poignant quotes.
I have also have included a video narrated by Jeremy Irons which is incredibly powerful. If used in the correct way.
A teachers guide is also included.
A full set of cursive handwriting worksheets.
Could be used as a whole school scheme.
The sheets can be used stand alone or as a template for children to use in their handwriting books.
I have also included a few extras that can be used to test children's 'best handwriting'
Very comprehensive.
A unique ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire’ based around ‘Bonfire Night’ in the UK.
This can be adapted for ANY topic, includes visuals and sound effects from the programme.
I used successfully in a whole class assembly, the staff loved it too!
Suitable for Primary.
Powerpoint showing several photos of Roman shields that I made leading into an activity where children design their own Roman shield based on certain criteria. (UPDATE: Mac / ipad Keynote included.)
A rough weekly plan is also included
The children went on to design their own Roman Shields and then made then with cardboard and painted them.
Perfect for giving them ideas!
UPDATE: I have now included a completely unique animated Roman timeline I made that can be included in your own presentations as I have converted to movie format.
UPDATE: An excellent video included to do with tactics used in Roman times
I couldn’t find any materials on this when I needed to teach my year 3 class what the equals sign REALLY meant.
I have included the lesson plan I used, the 3 differentiated worksheets and a Powerpoint I made.
Also have included a homework set of resource sheets (could alternatively be used in class as a reinforcement at a later date.)
UPDATE: I have added a more challenging resource for year 3/4
Massive update to my highly popular resource…
Found these really hard to find so made my own resources up.
I am unsure why they are so scarce as they often come up in SAT tests etc.
As I like to call them 'missing box sums’
I have included differentiated worksheets and a smart notebook file to accompany the lesson worksheets.
Great for years 3/4 possibly lower ability year 5.
UPDATE: Feb 2018: due to the popularity of the previous version of this resource I have added a additional content similar in nature, for example, 'the role of the equals sign.'
At this age it is important that children understand (leading onto later years and algebra etc) that ‘Equals’ doesn’t mean ‘the answer’ but is a BALANCE of two equations.
There is a lesson plan included here as well I used for an observation during a Numeracy lesson on the topic.
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!
