Ready to dive into Biography Writing with your students? My students LOVE making little books (often for comics) so I figured why not turn Biography Writing into booklet form too?! I’ve created several versions to help you differentiate for students of varying writing abilities. When you download this, have a scroll through to pick out what’ll work best for your students! This resource contains 97 pages with multiple versions: Year 1-2 booklet (8 pages x4 versions with sentence starter prompts) Year 3-4 booklet (8 pages x2 versions) Year 5-6 booklet (10 pages x1 version) Year 7-8 booklet (12 pages x2 versions) *Product last updated 27/06/23 (removal of square bordering and update of some fonts) Biography Writing is great fun in that students get the opportunity to research a significant person of interest or influence. The trouble is that Biography Writing tends to get quite research-heavy. That’s why it’s important to make the recording of facts and writing up of information fun and achievable! Using booklets gives students ownership of their writing and chunks the task into manageable bite-sized sections. And of course, the chance to colour in and add illustrations! You can even turn it into a group project by divvying up the pages amongst group members before securing them together into a full booklet! I recommend printing out two pages per A4 sheet to make A5-sized booklets. Trim off any excess paper around the border before stapling or hole-punching and securing the pages together. Let me know how your students get on with it! Happy writing! If you’re after a biography planning template, check this out or if you’re looking for success criteria for biography writing have a look at this!

Just what you need for your next Science experiment! On this worksheet, students will need to record the equipment and ingredients required to make salt crystals, the method they used to make them and observational drawings recorded once per week. I created this worksheet to use with my Year 2 students during our Science unit on Rocks. My students loved this activity and especially liked how they could add food colouring to get different coloured salt crystals! Just a word of warning to ensure that all of your students create a super-saturated solution (to the point where no more salt can dissolve in the water), otherwise you’re at risk of getting some very disappointed little faces! I also included a WALT (We Are Learning To) and Success Criteria at the top of the worksheet. Hope you find it helpful!

Get ready for the start of term with this reading resources pack! This is designed to get you all set for planning and teaching beginning readers from Magenta to Gold (Levels 1-21) on the Reading Colour Wheel. This resource includes: > A Colour Wheel Reading Groups Template > For each of the Reading Levels (Magenta - Gold): Learning intentions with checkboxes written as ‘I can…’ statements Lists of high frequency words for students to learn at each of the colour levels. I would send these lists home with my students so they could practise reading and spelling them for homework. I would also have a booklet for each of my students at school which they would use for independent spelling practice and I would use for assessment to tick off what words they’d shown me they could read/spell. My students loved taking ownership of their learning this way and I’d often see them taking the initiative to get their high frequency word booklet during Writing lessons to check their spelling! Ready-to-go unit planning documents with sections for targeted skills An action plan template to support learners through deliberate acts of teaching > A generic list of Guided Reading prompts to use before, during and after reading These are all resources that I found invaluable when teaching my Year 2s. I had readers all the way through from Level 1 to Level 20 so I really just needed to create an easy solution for myself to keep up with differentiated planning at each of the reading levels. I hope you also find them helpful! Happy teaching & learning!

The prep is all done for you - simply assign the Google Slides to your students on Google Classroom and your students will be all set to go with thought-provoking picture prompts and tables to record their responses. Easy! If you’re looking for an engaging way to introduce a new topic to your students, ‘See Think Feel Wonder’ is the way to go! It’s a way to spark discussions and unearth students’ prior knowledge and perceptions. The aim is to encourage students to dig deeper than just surface-level observations and GET CURIOUS about the world around them. The pictures in this resource include: Transport, deforestation, farming, bush fires, glacier melting, factory pollution and protest for climate change. Photo credit to the following Pixabay artists (in order of pictures): makabera, MariaGullestrup, NickyPe, rauschenberger, shivaphotographyy, Picography, stevePB (2), Manubird, cubicroot How I recommend using these Google Slides: Complete the Bus Stop activity outlined in the printable version with students either just discussing their ideas or recording their responses on post-it notes. Show students the Google Slides and model how to fill in the ‘See Think Feel Wonder’ charts, ensuring that you are specific about your personal expectations of length/quality of responses. Make the slides available for students to complete independently through the ‘Create an Assignment’ function on Google Classroom (explained below). Look at the assignments once they have been submitted by your students and use this information to identify prior knowledge, misconceptions and possible areas to explore further in following lessons. If you haven’t used the ‘Create an Assignment’ function in Google Classroom before, you can check out instructions on Google support. There are also a bunch of videos out there you can watch on Youtube if that’s easier for you! The most important thing is that when you first create the assignment, you select ‘Make a copy for each student’. This means that your students will all get their own copy of the slides with their name added to the document title. You and the student will be able to edit their copy of the document and, importantly, your students will not be able to edit your original copy of the slides (yes, I have made this mistake before!). Please note: When you purchase this resource, you will download a PDF which gives you access to the Editable Google Slides. After clicking the link, you will be prompted to ‘Make a Copy’ of the resource which will automatically save to your personal Google Drive. Please ensure that you are signed into your Google account to enable this. Enjoy! Be purposeful teachers Who are in control Feel inspired And know they’ve done enough. @atm.teaching
