This focuses on the non-Jews who helped to save Jewish people in the war. These are some of the unsung heroes of World War II who stood up for what was right. The first lesson looks at the concept of hiding and why people hid. The second lesson looks at heroes who are not well known but who saved many Jewish men, women and children. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK.

This lesson introduces the children to the 'Titanic&' disaster. First it asks them to discuss what they already know, then it looks at &';The Daily Mail' cover from the time and they have to create a list of questions they would ask if they had seen this at the time. Then they have to read it (the newspaper article is available online). I had a copy of the actual paper to photocopy and give out. Tell them they can now find the answers. They will soon realise when reading the article that the information is completely inaccurate and this should create an interesting discussion.

You can cut up the information and then the children have to order it and stick it on a timeline of his life.

This resource will help your class to explore which jobs might be suitable for them. There are reflective questions to answer too about the online questionnaires they can complete.

This Smartboard was designed for the whole junior school to use as the end of term writing assessment. You will need to colour photocopy different STORY scenes and I have included the list of picture books I took mine from in the SB. This was a chance for the children to show off their writing. If you don't know what ISPACE is, it is an excellent tool to use to teach children to vary their sentence structure. (look it up on the net!) PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

Use the Smart board to take you through explaining the four games. Use the web link to download the free games: Pig, Boxes, Thirty up and Four Star. The idea is that they work strategically and use their knowledge to win! It should be a fun lesson. They can work with different partners. There is a plenary/reflection sheet at the end that can be stuck in their books.PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

I am not an American so please forgive me for missing out really important things on here-America is too great to put it all into one Smartboard! I made this to introduce the children to America. It looks briefly at the flag, maps, the president, famous sports people etc. Make up a quiz on some of the information and then play an American word bingo game. Finally set them a challenge to find out the meaning of American words on the computers in pairs. The first pair to find them all has a prize.

I created this resource from listening to interviews with Dame Shirley Bassey. It is all about her background, early life and how she got into singing.

A useful, simple and fun game to teach children the different suffixes. Time yourselves then try to get faster each time you play.

These lessons explore the question ‘If everyone followed the Middle Way, would there be a perfect world?’ The children do not have to know anything about Buddhism. The lessons explore the meaning of this question and look at what The middle Way means and at the Eightfold Path. Children gain a good understanding of this and also reflect on their own ideas of what a perfect world would be. This leads to a debate about the question which can be recorded as evidence.

I used this homework with a year 5 group. The children had to think of four word problems related to Minecraft, Diary of a Wimpy Kid etc.Talk through some examples with them. When you get the homework back choose the ones that are clear and make sense to photocopy for their next homework. They were actually enthusiastic about this homework! Please leave feedback.

The children will need to learn about concrete and abstract nouns first. They have ten sentences and have to underline all the nouns. There is an answer sheet.

This was part of a festival topic we did in year 6 where the children imagined going round the UK to different festivals. In the first two lessons the children plan what they would need to take on a trip and design their own vehicle (DT). They begin in Norwich at the Dragon Festival and then move on to Birmingham for the Sikh New Year festival (Vaisakhi). Then they pop over to India! Then return for the Festival of Speed and the Welsh Music festival.The Smart Boards are detailed and can be followed without a lesson plan. Then they travel to Northern Ireland.

This game could be made easier or harder. Cut up the cards and share them out. It uses different vocabulary for add and total. Time how long it takes and see if they can improve their score!

This was part of our Egyptian topic to introduce the Gods. We try to link maths into our topic work where ever we can! On the word document you just need to draw in the circles! Please leave feedback!

This resource links to my BIG SPELLING resources, which contain spelling lists for years 3 to 6 and assessment lists. This shows you how you can ensure that your children learn the statutory spelling lists in the new national curriculum, bit by bit, in a manageable way, whilst continuing with Big Spellings.

The children have a price list with the cost of savoury and sweet food, party bag items and games. They can choose which products to buy and put them into tables and calculate the cost. It could be made harder or easier by changing the prices. They should enjoy this as every child loves a party! May take more than 1 lesson. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!
