A powerpoint I have created for the first 15 minutes in the morning when the children are coming into school. It is a revision of the White Rose Maths Hub’s small steps for year 3 for the first block of place value (intending on making slides for the rest of the blocks soon but trying to find a quick way for my children to recap what we’ve learnt through the year). Each slide has differentiated questions similar to those on the Small Steps document and answers on the next slide for children to self mark.

Talk for writing style text for a Star Wars themed ‘defeating the monster’/‘tale of fear’ story, including Alan Peat sentence types. Text includes a box up to go alongside. Used for year 3/4 class but easily adaptable for older year groups.

This is a powerpoint I created outlining the UN Convention’s Children’s Rights. I gave the opportunity to our School Councilors to deliver the assembly in order to gain a ‘Promoting Active Democracy’ award for the school. Each slide outlines a different right and the notes for each slide were given to the children to present to the school. Good resource to use in the run up to National Children’s Day.

The Incredibles Talk for Writing text as a powerpoint. Defeating the Monster story, used for year 3 but easily differentiated.

A lesson for year 3/4 based on identifying and comparing human and physical characters, with emphasis on counties in the UK. Includes: *starter presentation with images to consider differences between several counties in the UK. *lesson presentation with a variety of human and physical characteristics for children to identify and then sort. *lesson plan for the session with differentiated objectives.

I made a ppt to support number recognition as a quick starter for my Reception class, which has now turned into a variety of starter activities based on the EYFS learning goals. I find the little and often has been working well to support mine with their recognition of numbers, shapes and understanding of some of the terminology of more, less, double, halve, calculate etc. and so having it on one easy powerpoint to call upon as quick starters or time fillers has been a good resource for me! We use the Twinkl pre-cursive font at my school which is downloadable from their website, or can be easily changed.

A presentation to introduce democracy and a school parliament/council. Includes the preparation for an election of getting the children to think about what an MP’s responsibilities are and what makes a good MP. Differentated templates of manifestos included, one for each key stage (and a simpler one for year 1s where they can just draw a picture of themselves and sound out a few adjectives around themselves).

Story presentation and simplified version for LAP children of the story ‘Jack the Giant Killer’ (a mythical story surrounding St Michael’s Mount in Cornwall). Includes Box up for text following Piie Corbett’s Talk for Writing scheme. Have organised this story as a ‘Defeating the monster’ tale.

A poster I have on our Maths Working Wall which we refer to at the end of maths lessons. Sometimes children just volunteer ideas, other times we roll a dice and answer the corresponding question. It has been really good for developing my children’s reflective comments on their learning and making connections in maths.

‘Text the teacher’ plenary resource. Children write a ‘text’ for their teacher to summarise what they have learnt in a lesson, what they found helpful, how they can apply learning elsewhere etc. I have their ‘texts’ on display with the ‘text the teacher’ title on ppt slide. Included is an editable text message template where you can write your own name to show who they are ‘texting’.

We recently completed a topic on animals so we created a display of the ‘learning habits’ by relating each one to an animal.

This is a reward system I use in my classroom to encourage reading. The children earn a ‘reading ticket’ every time they read at home and it is in their reading record. They can then save these up to spend on classroom coupons (which they adore and is a very cheap reward system for me! Free in fact!). The classroom coupons can be used as another reward system, however I was targetting reading in my class.

Topic planning for years 3/4 covering animals. Art, history, geography, science and computing ideas.
