Information Gap 1 - Looking for a Job
Get the students working in pairs.
Give one person of each pair the Student A page and the other the Student B page.
There are four different jobs being advertised in the local paper. However, there are ten gaps on each page.
Students should ask each other questions to find out the information that is missing from their page, then write it down, asking for spellings as necessary.
Encourage them to communicate verbally to get the answers, rather than letting each other look at their pages!
When all the students have finished, bring the group back together and ask checking questions to elicit the answers, as well as to find out how much the students have understood about the other material in the adverts.
Are you looking for some nice, eye catching motivational quotes to hang around your classroom and in the corridors to motivate children towards being more self confident and more successful? Perhaps you are looking for a simple set of pictures to use in an assembly? I have collected together some great quotes, which you could discuss with your class or the whole school.
You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different ideas being shown in each of photos.
You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about Motivational Quotes for the classroom..
The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into types of quotes. The students can then discuss how they could use this idea in their own lives.
The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.
Remember 9/11 is a presentation showing the towers before, during and after the event. It captures some of the drama and will be an excellent focal point for any teacher wanting to talk about this event in a balanced way. It would also make an excellent backdrop for an assembly.
I have added a presentation showing you how to use photo flashcards for 31 different teaching activities in the classroom and also a set of writing prompts to encourage the children to describe the events more creatively.
You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different actions being shown in each of photos.

These PowerPoint slides are designed to make students think and talk about safe sexual behaviour.
This pack contains a 31 Teaching Activity Teacher Guide using these photo flash cards. These activities are quick and fun to do and will improve both your students' memory and vocabulary skills.

You simply print off this pennant at the beginning of the year as a Getting to know you activity. I like the idea of laminating them and placing them directly above the different groups of children. The children can quickly learn more about each other.
The students have a chance to set themselves a fun target to achieve in the year. At the end of the year the students can then look again at their targets and see if they have achieved their goals. This could also make a very homework task. Get them to build up their pennants using different materials from around the home.
I added a reflection sheet for times children are not quite as good as you would like.
Make target setting an interactive, hands on activity! This ideas is based on a simple 3D square based pyramid net. There is space on each side for students to write down their monthly English, Maths and Social targets. There is also a space for their name and something they learnt in the previous month.
I added the motivational quotes so students appreciate what they are learning towards. I added the positive behaviour system, where the students move around the track each time they achieve their pyramids targets! The harder they work, the faster they move around the track. Lots of fun for everyone!
I have created this worksheet in black and white so teachers can either print them on white paper or onto different coloured papers, the idea being to change the colour of the pyramid every month, so everyone knows which pyramid they should now be following.

There are lots of chances for the students to discuss what is discrimination, multiculturism and the Brexit.
Climate Change Week or anything you need to know about global warming and climate change.
I have based my presentations on work carried out by both NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
I have collected together information about climate change, its causes, its consequences and some of the things students can do to help reduce their own impact on the environment. In addition, I have included some colouring sheets which will make lovely pieces of display work.
This work does contain public domain material, but it has taken a considerable amount of time to change these into attractive, informative documents for children.
This is a bundle about the topic of peace. It contains a wide range of different images which can be used as a talking point in the classroom. It focuses on community, anti-racism and the importance of democracy.
