FREE YouTube Video Year 1 Termly Maths Assessments I am now converting all my PowerPoint presentations into YouTube videos PowerPoint Combos. This means teachers can teach the lesson using either the PowerPoint or Youtube version of the lesson and then share the YouTube lesson with their students’ parents. This lesson can then be repeated at home as additional homework. While the Wigan LEA website disappeared, taking all its maths resources with it, I kept a copy and then made a complete set of PowerPoint Maths assessments I want to share with everyone. These would be great for revising for the KS1 SATs tests. There are two different formats, you can either show them a question, then let them work out the answer and check their answers, or you can show them each question in turn and set them sme time to find the answer and then ask them the next question until you finish the test. I have also included the original test papers for teachers who want to print out all the test papers and answers all in one go. I hope you find them as useful as I do with my own class.

I love writing for the TES and it does make up a substantial part of my monthly salary. I originally write a book to help people get started. I have now written a second short book to help people take their original TES teaching resources and make them sparkle a little bit more to help them get better sales. I consider myself a successful TES Gold Author and I am now wanting to share my wealth of ideas, resources and links for FREE with other TES users to help them to become a successful TES author and also to help guide them on the first steps towards success... This book tells them why they should become a TES author, where to find ideas to turn into presentations, where to find the free images which will help them to make their presentations a success and how to promote their work so that it becomes a highly sought after resource. Try it today. I love being a TES author and it is certainly a passion for me. I want others to now also follow in my footsteps and also become successful and happy TES authors, the easy way!

Are you looking for global warming or climate change presentations? Here is one I made for my own class. Here is a sample of my work I have done for Climate Change week. I took a public domain NASA document about climate change and I have changed it into an informative PowerPoint presentation. If you like this work, then please look at the full version of PowerPoint presentations and colouring pages about climate change and global warming here :- https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-11533172

These tests are set to change every 5 seconds, letting you test either individual children or a whole class at once. You might like to also look at my matching mini origami books which go with this series (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/mini-book-x2-to-x12-multiplication-times-table-tests-4-per-table-11198350) which are designed to make learning time tables more fun. There are 4 tests per times table, so the children do not know what test you will give them. They are written in PowerPoint so you can easily edit them or change the speed of the tests.

The Snail And The Whale is one of Britain's best selling children picture books. The images in this book come from public domain resources - not from the original book. I was amazed that there were so few teaching resources for this book and so I have written 16 Guided Reading Thinking Hat worksheets for the book. I would love to have some feedback from anyone who has used them in the classroom.

This resource has been seen over 10,000 times and is one of my most popular teaching resources. The images are not from the book, and you will still need to use the book to complete the reading tasks. I was surprised at how few reading resources were available for Room on the broom, and I am keen to promote Thinking Hat Reading skills in the classroom and so I have spent a week developing a set of worksheets which teachers can download and use in the classroom. Please leave a comment after using them in the classroom.

FREE Room on Broom Creative Thinking (Green Hat ) Worksheets Make Guided Reading Fun! I love Room on the broom and I was amazed that this best selling childrens book did not have a lot more more teaching materials attached to it, and so I decided I would spend a week focusing on developing a set of Thinking Hat Reading resources to go with this book. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I have creating it. I would love to have some feedback from people after they have used it.

FREE Year 4 Termly Maths Assessments YouTube PowerPoint Presentations I am now converting all my PowerPoint presentations into YouTube videos PowerPoint Combos. This means teachers can teach the lesson using either the PowerPoint or Youtube version of the lesson and then share the YouTube lesson with their students’ parents. This lesson can then be repeated at home as additional homework. FREE Year 4 Termly Maths Assessments - Perfect For the Year 4 Optional SATs Tests Revision I love Wigan Maths. I have simply taken their ideas and made them ready for the modern classroom. I have upgraded the paper tests and made them more fun, more colourful Year 4 PowerPoint presentations. I have given the teachers two different options. The students can do a single question in an alloted amount of time and then discuss their answers as a class - discussing their different strategies and how they checked their answers or a more standard test - and checking.

FREE The Stick Man Story Workbook - 16 Thinking Hat Worksheets For Fun Creative Reading In Class. The Stick Man is all about a piece of wood which gets taken away by a dog, picked up by a girl and thrown in the river... where he is found by a swan. At each point he is further and further from home and less likely to make it back... this set of worksheets looks at the different Thinking Hat approaches to this book. They will consider facts, feelings, positives, negatives, creative approaches and finally make a mind map. This book does not contain any of the original drawings or text. You still need to find a copy of the book to complete this workbook. I would love feedback on this work.

Year 5 Termly Maths Assessments YouTube PowerPoint Presentation I am now converting all my PowerPoint presentations into YouTube videos PowerPoint Combos. This means teachers can teach the lesson using either the PowerPoint or Youtube version of the lesson and then share the YouTube lesson with their students’ parents. This lesson can then be repeated at home as additional homework. I love Year 5 Wigan Maths Tests. While they are little old and don’t follow the current curriculum, they are still an excellent set of tests for revision purposes. I have taken the traditional tests and converted them all into PowerPoint presentations. On top of this, I have given teachers the option of either letting the students only see the answers at the end or after each question. I really like the second option as it means I can set a question, then give them a little time to think about it or discuss it in pairs and then show them the answer and discuss the different ways different children or different pairs found their answers. This is as much a learning experience as the test itself for many children. I really hope this pack is useful for lots of teachers.

As my Anti-bullying posters (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/10-free-anti-bullying-week-posters-for-every-classroom-download-and-share-today-11168376) proved so popular, I thought I would continue the series and create a set of motivational maths posters.
