Writing targets in stages for children to stick in their books.

Title and examples of connectives for different categories- e.g. contrast, emphasis etc I have used this resource in a number of schools sometimes as an underground map sometimes as a city. I label the train lines/roads according to the types of connectives. Children love using it.

The first ppt I use when teaching Ancient Egypt. May need more than one session. Includes thinking about what we already know etc and completing a KWL chart. Looks at timelines of world history and timelines of Egyptian history Looks at maps of the world, Africa and Egypt Throughout the ppt there are slides with suggested activities that could be done (children can do) and at the end there are resources for their books. Have also tried to link some of the videos I have used- such as the Horrible Histories from youtube. Will be putting the next ppts up soon.

I have been tutoring children to be able to answer 11+ type questions and have made these resources which I thought I'd share. Lots of puzzles and language activities. Verbal reasoning activities found in 11+ tests. Great for 5 minute fillers.

More of the resources I have made to help in the tutoring of children who wish to sit the 11+. Also used as five minute fillers and morning work in year 5/6.

Objectives for each area of the KS1 and KS2 maths curriculum. All of the year on one sheet, separated into the 3 terms. Hope these are useful to see how all objectives fit as well as progression through the years.

Recently had to teach from Northants RE. Some new topics, that I have not come across before. Put this together about Peace- hope it is of use to someone. Contents inc. peaceful places, people who worked for peace etc

A collection of different planning documents I have used-from individual subjects to topics, single lessons to whole weeks. Often change my formats- to find one that works. Thought it be good to share so others can get ideas.

Suitable for KS1-3, I’m not an RE teacher- and often find I need just the basics. I am in the process of making introductory ppt on each of the 6 main religions. I’m not saying they include everything but hopefully cover- who, what and when the religion began, special places, people and books, symbols, beliefs, celebrations and rites of passage. Hopefully this and the others when they are done maybe helpful to someone!
