Children choose the course of the story in this dynamic story-telling PowerPoint. I originally wrote this for an assembly in National Storytelling Week and had huge fun with the whole school choosing which characters, setting and plot developments to follow. The children showed me via hands on heads or crossed arms which options they wanted to pick. The children were incredibly excited and engaged; I really enjoyed the assembly. If you miss off the first two slides about National Storytelling Week, this resource could also be used in an English lesson to look at story structure, character, setting and/or the use of descriptive language, e.g. adjectives and similes. Or simply use it in class as an enjoyable story to revisit and retell, allowing the children to make different choices to build a different story. I’ve tested the PowerPoint thoroughly (including in assembly and at home with my own daughter!) as there are a lot of action buttons to click on that lead you to the next slide in the chosen story. However, if I’ve missed anything, please do contact me via TES conversations and I will straighten it out asap. PS The fonts don’t look very good on the preview pane on the TES website, but should be fine when downloaded. I created the resource using PowerPoint 2016.

Primary school SMSC assembly plan and presentation based on the word ‘Moral’ and informed by the government’s advice document on promoting fundamental British values as part of Spiritual Moral Social and Cultural development in schools. The assembly helps children to understand the meaning of the word ‘moral’. They apply the concept to themselves first with a fun hook and then apply it with a set of scenarios for them to consider. They extend it to the wider world, learning about laws and what they are. There is a reflection at the end of the assembly for children to consider the importance of listening to their own moral compass, even in the face of peer pressure. Looking for other assemblies?

Primary school SMSC assembly plan and presentation based on the word ‘Spiritual’ and informed by the government’s advice document on promoting fundamental British values as part of Spiritual Moral Social and Cultural development in schools. The assembly helps children to understand the meaning of the words ‘spiritual’ and ‘spirituality’ and that this can be, but is not exclusively, linked to religion and faith. They apply the concept to themselves first and then extend it to the wider world, in this case through a social story based on an incident that happened to a child in one of my classes a few years ago. There is a reflection at the end of the assembly for children to consider the importance of spirituality in their own lives and of respecting the beliefs of others.

There is a reflection at the end for children to celebrate how lucky they are to lead social lives and consider how they can make a difference to someone in their social groups.

Bookmark targets cards in a variety of colours and with a range of headings, including a blank space for you to write on your own if preferred. The target cards include a 'Personal Best' box for children/teacher to record their achievement and attempt to improve upon it. E.g. I can use full stops correctly. PB - 5 (full stops used correctly). I've found 'PB's to be very motivating in the past! They also give children a sense of ownership and involvement with their targets.

Based on the 2016 interim assessment framework for KS1 mathematics, this form provides additional evidencing of the Working Towards criteria for maths. Useful for children who struggle to record their knowledge.

Posters to promote growth mindsets in the classroom environment and a questionnaire to diagnose areas for development.

Get your parent/carer volunteers organised and briefed with one easy kit. We found at our school that we weren't 'getting the most' out of our volunteers in school when it came to 1:1 reading so I put together a briefing presentation/handout for volunteers. Feedback from our volunteers was very positive as they felt more confident and that they were being more useful. The presentation also covers health and safety and confidentiality to set expectations from the outset. The kit includes: - initial letter to parents/carers - invitation to a volunteer briefing - the briefing presentation including health and safety, confidentiality, tips for supporting early readers and next steps for readers - a volunteer 1:1 reading record (one copy per pupil)

I use this spreadsheet for my tracking. It includes groups that my school is focussing on and allows you to filter by these groups e.g., Free School Meals, EAL, summer/spring/autumn birthdays, etc.. It will be easy to change the column headings to include groups that your school is focussing on. There is a tab for each of maths, reading, literacy and science.

I put together a flyer with some Year 1 maths objectives that parents can help their children with at home. There are some maths game/activity ideas and also websites for some online maths games matched to the objectives given.
