A differentiated reading task about Mary Queen of Scot’s French Wedding used during an inspection and lesson rated very good. Pupils viewed some images of a tournament , a ball, a wedding banquet, Notre Dame and the Louvre Palace before paired reading. They used highlighters to skim and scan for key words before answering questions.

This lesson was planned for an inspection recently and although not observed was a very successful activity and one with which the pupils really engaged.

History and Language . A ppt which I made to prepare my P5 class for a newspaper Big Write on Mary's escape from Loch Leven as I could find no similar resources online.

This is a resource I prepared for my class to go with our Viking Topic. I have gathered together primary and secondary sources to help explain these terms to the children. There was very little information for children about Scotland before it became a whole country so I have produced this PDF to help understanding of what happened before and when the Vikings invaded. It can be used as a discussion activity or as independent learning activities.
