Notebook, hide-the-verbs activity and worksheet included. My year one class loved this lesson - I hid the bossy verbs around the playground and the children had to find them all and do exactly as Little Miss Bossy instructs! We came back into the classroom and they thought of their own , recording on the worksheet, then came up with bossy verb sentences in talk partners. This led very nicely onto our work writing instructions about making Pumpkin Soup (eg. Cut up the pumpkin; boil the soup; blend the soup etc).

Worksheet table for children to record their estimates for the outcomes of various activities. Worked well with year 1 and year 2 classes.

Presentation to spark children’s imagination with a starter activity of watching a youtube clip (linked) of fireworks then recording on post-it notes describing words. Also with practice slides for composing sentences to describe. Three differentiated worksheets to help children record adjectives also included, along with a visual aid for tables.

Presentation to support Year 2 children in writing a recount about their Christmas Holidays - focusing on the inclusion of conjuctions, time connectives and expanded noun phrases. Includes a model. PDF and editable version included.

A brilliant teamwork based DT lesson/afternoon for Year 2+. Powerpoint to lead lesson (inc. youtube video link) with design worksheet also attached. Learning objective: to design and create a model of a bridge. In lesson children were encouraged to design a bridge individually, then get into groups with big A2 sheets bring their ideas together into one design for makeable model. They then presented ideas back to the class. Finally they had a go at constructing their bridges out of junk modelling materials and rolled up newspapers. We tested them at the end and rated them on appearance and durability! Children LOVED lesson and pushed their skills in teamwork, problem solving, design and fair testing.

FOUR Lesson powerpoints and then follow up activity ideas (instructions in presentations) for children to have a go at showing adding in different ways. Ideal for year 1 consolidation of adding knowledge. Also includes presentation looking specifically at using the equals sign for the first time. I do not own the rights to any of the photos included in this file.

Used for an Autumn 1 practical lesson with my Year One class to get them practicing adding in pairs.
