Angry birds multiplication game board, rules and player tokens. Currently set to work on x3 x4 x6 and x10 tables but can be edited & adapted to suit any objective or age group.

My first completed story for children. Can be used in PSHE, literacy or just as a class read. A story with a message - 'good to be me&'! Written & illustrated by S Daunt, copyright 2012.

Stories in familiar settings unit plan (3 weeks) - using 'The Dragon Machine&' book. Uses talk for writing strategies, and &';innovates' with &'The Elf Machine&'; as it was around Christmas. Could be adapted to anything though - goblins, fairies, shadows etc. Resources needed are also attached.

Boring descriptions for the children to improve

As it says on the tin... I copied this onto A3. Children made notes on planning frame, drew text map on the back.

A Simulations unit plan and resources for year 3 ICT. It was planned for the short half-term but could easily be extended.

This is a two-week (could be stretched to 3 weeks) narrative unit based on the short film Francis (as seen on Literacy Shed). I used the transcript of the film as I didn't feel my class were ready to watch the video. We analysed examples of 'spooky' stories, explored the features, performed 'Francis' to our Year 6 class, and then the children wrote their own suspense stories to go in a 'Restricted Section' of the library. <br /> <br /> This is a brilliant unit, loved by all of the children and a pleasure to teach! You don't need to buy any resources - you'll need some torches (raid the Science cupboard), a notebook, and some black backing paper and metallic pens to make your working wall look great. We went on to study 'The Watertower' afterwards - just a recommendation if anyone (like me) finds that they don't want the unit to end!

Week plan, with resources in a word document (activities, questions etc), and a smart notebook to accompany the plan (for the whole week).

Vikings homework menu - includes a range of activities for chn to choose from, and some extra help on the back (page 2).

Year 3 music plan - half-term unit, called 'Rhythm and layers&'. Pretty self-explanatory, and ends with chn composing a piece based on &';Trashing the camp' from Tarzan. Second half of our &'Under the Sea&'; topic. Covers KS2 objectives so can be used in any year group.

MTP - topic was 'Theatre', science covered 'Light and Shadows'. Includes teaching of aspects of light, and shadow puppet theatre project. Resources also uploaded.

Chn work in pairs, race to see who can answer the most questions.

Place value counters - the colours match those used in the Maths No Problem textbooks. <br /> These can be laminated and cut up for children to use.

Year 3 music plan - half-term unit called 'Mood and Movies&'. Works on creating a musical mood & looking at soundtracks. Covers KS2 music objectives so could be used in any year group. Part of our &';Under the Sea' topic.

Non-chronological/information text marking ladder. Self-assessment tool, used in best writing (end of unit).

Used as part of a unit on 'Light and Shadows', where chn made their own shadow puppet theatres. This was the play they were to perform, and so had to theme their theatre to match the story, and create the puppets necessary. (Good because there aren't too many puppets! Chn enjoyed creating silhouettes of different types of houses).

Clear posters, with an image and text, showing 'Carpet Rules&'.

Ready to print spelling activity cards for independent task. The Powerpoint can be adapted with spellings suitable to your class/phase... I saw the idea online and liked it - tiny font so children can use magnifying glasses to see the words, then write them out.

12 Scattegories lists to print, ready to use. If you don't know the game - you pick a list, pick a letter (I use random name generators online to pick one at random) & give the kids a time limit to think of words to fit the categories beginning with that letter. Then, they compare words - if 2 or more people have the same word, they don&'t get the point. Point for each word, total at the end. I found that the lists in the actual game were too hard for children so created these. (I love playing it myself!)

Investigation where children vary the position of the light source. Used torches, pencils and play dough. This resource is a record sheet for this investigation, with boxes for each variation and a space for conclusions at the bottom.

Here is the text from the story 'The Egg&' - please use this to preview the story to judge whether it&';s fit for use, but definitely buy the book - it's fantastic! There is also a list of teaching ideas for use with this book.
