This is a super cute display for Vocabulary Ninjas. I personally like to use hessian and matte laminating pouches, but this will work on a variety of backings. There are over 20 individual parts, including the heading. This display would also work for most times table tracking displays. I’ve also added a display plan of how I envisage it to be hung, but you can experiment with what works best for your display boards! I would recommend you printing a few copies of page 6 - I think I went with 6 in the end. I then laminated these with a gloss pouch, so I could use a whiteboard pen to write, remove and rewrite vocabulary onto them. Enjoy!

This lesson is part of my SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar - sometimes abbrieviated to GPS) collection. This lesson is the third spelling lesson focusing on homophones. I followed the Herts for Learning Spelling scheme to create these resources. Resource bundle includes: Lesson Powerpoint (PDF), a lesson resource including model sentences and also a wordsearch with all of the weeks words in. There are ten spellings per week. Slide one: Title page Slide two to three: Weekly Overview Slide four: Spelling practice using techniques Slide five: Find the definitions task Slide six: Spelling in context - sentences activity Slide seven: Word search with the spellings activity

Resource to accompany a water cycle task, intended for upper KS2. Includes key vocabulary in pre-cursive to assist all learners. You could cut these off for more challenge.

I have created this resource for pupils to review books that they have read. I’m hoping these will act as inspiration for others in my class and will provide a love for reading. I’m going to display these within my reading corner and perhaps create a floor book with them in.

This lesson is the fifth and final of six lessons teaching the skill of collagraph (relief) printing using space as an inspiration (preferably for upper KS2). I have created this scheme using skills that I have acquired over the years, training in Print-making throughout my Fine Art degree and teaching Art and Design to KS2 for over 5 years. This has been a really popular scheme for my pupils, which teaches a variety of print-making skills: mono-printing, screen-printing, relief and collagraph (relief) printing. I’ve taught it within the classroom and an art room. It would be worth investing in screens for the screen printing lesson. Resource bundle includes: Lesson plan, Visual Language word mat, Lesson Powerpoint (PDF cursive, PPT and PPT cursive versions available - please note the powerpoints may need slight reformatting depending on your font settings) and accompanying resources/scaffolds. Each lesson includes a starter, modelling for each task, an evalution and an end of the lesson plenary. Slide one: LO: To design and create a collagraph relief plate. Slide two: Starter: What is relief printing? Slide three: Relief plate task and challenge Slide four: Verbal self-evaluation with modelling Slide five: End of the lesson quiz Slide six: End of the lesson quiz (answers) Slide one: LO: To create a collagraph relief print. Slide two: Starter: What printing techniques have you tried? Slide three: Collagraph printing task and challenge Slide four: Collagraph self-evaluation with modelling Slide five: End of the lesson quiz Slide six: End of the lesson quiz (answers)
