This resource consists of lesson plans, a PowerPoint presentation and 7 activity sheets. The material is enough for a unit on poetry lasting a week. It’s great for Hallowe’en, but is not limited to that. It is aligned to the following National Curriculum standard:
"Prepare poems and plays to read aloud and to perform, showing understanding through intonation, tone and volume so that the meaning is clear to an audience; identifying how language, structure and presentation contribute to meaning; learn a wider range of poetry by heart"
The focus is The Hag by Robert Herrick, and the week’s work provides an introduction to the analysis of structure, syllable count, metre and rhyme. It also features related work on glossaries and apostrophes for omission. It is linked to music and drama and provides paired and group activities through the week to support the learning of the poem by heart. The fifth session is intended to be an extended one in order to give pupils the opportunity to put together a performance of their work.
A bright and interactive PowerPoint presentation to enable pupils to begin building sentences and conduct simple conversations. It covers the first and second person singular of ‘avoir’ so that children are able to ask for and give information about their pets. It also deals with the masculine and feminine singular of adjectives including possessives (mon/ma; ton/ta). There is an accompanying vocabulary sheet, which needs to be studied before embarking on the paired and group conversation activities suggested in the presentation. Several worksheets accompany the PowerPoint: a crossword and word search to support the learning of essential vocabulary, a cloze exercise based on a simple text to be tackled as pupils progress towards sentence work, and finally, a written exercise where the task is to continue a conversation about pets between two friends.
These differentiated sets of worksheets are written to meet the objectives for Year 6 Measurement. Each of the topics (length, mass, capacity, time) is split into three levels, indicated on the worksheets by 1, 2 or 3 stars. There are 3 versions of each worksheet. There are 36 worksheets in all, plus answer sheets.
The material could be used in several ways:
work through each of the levels in order with the whole class
use the levels to target varying abilities within the class
use extra versions of tasks to set as follow-up homework
where pupils are inclined to copy, use different versions of worksheets to ensure independent working
extra versions of tasks can be set as assessment at the end of a unit
Learning objectives are given at the beginning of each sheet.
A simple ‘thumbs up’ style of self-assessment is printed at the bottom of each task
A 13-slide presentation consisting of the text of Dickinson’s poem, together with questions on language, style and context to be explored either as a whole class or set as individual or paired challenges.
This is an introduction to comma splices, showing how to correct them by using a full stop. Good for lower KS2 as an introduction to the subject. There are two versions of a short presentation, plus a worksheet where pupils have to correct comma splices by using full stops. As the sentences are sequential, they also provide an easy way for pupils to produce a piece of simple continuous writing.
A French action song with lots of repetition. For teaching names of animals and verbs describing their actions. Great for younger classes, but I've also used this with Y6 who loved letting their hair down!.
For KS2 and KS3. French shopping language - buying fruit and vegetables at the market. A cumulative song that works a bit like the game 'I went to the market and bought ...", which would make a good supplementary activity for a lesson.
This consists of two timed tests (PowerPoint) on French regular -er verbs with spelling changes to keep soft consonant sounds (eg mangeons, commençons). There are 32 questions in each set. In the first, pupils are given a subject pronoun and have to supply the correct form of the verb. In the second set, the verb appears in a sentence. Pupils are given 10 seconds to write the missing verb on their answer sheet. The teacher controls how many times the test is viewed, removing test sheets after 1 viewing by the most able pupils and giving extra time to pupils who need it.
The same slides are presented in card format so that they can be laminated and used for independent or group work. They make an excellent re-usable resource for a language corner.
Pupil sheets and answer sheets are supplied. There is also a set of motivational reward stickers (5 in the pack) .
Less difficult -er verbs without spelling changes are available in a separate pack (sets 1 & 2).

These four texts are retellings in modern English of traditional Chinese folk tales. One - the story of the Nian - is specifically about the origins of Chinese New Year traditions. The other three could be used at any time of the year. These have several common themes (money, religion, magic, kindness, and more which could be suggested by pupils themselves), and would make a good starting point for textual comparison or cross-curricular work (eg RE, citizenship).
The texts all come with a set of 10 questions which could be used for discussion in assembly, or for formal written comprehension in the classroom.
The folk tale format makes the texts accessible to a wide age range, including KS1, whereas the themes broached in many of the questions make them more suitable for able KS2 or KS3 classes.
KS2 resource for teaching imperatives through song. Includes words, music score, sound files, presentation, flashcards and lesson plan. Listening, speaking, reading and writing objectives covered.
A 21 slide PowerPoint show on direct and indirect objects and their effect on word order. Indirect objects are shown in two positions in the sentence. One of the early slides has animated entrance effects, but after that, the presentation is teacher controlled, and can be used for whole class work with individual whiteboards. For anyone who can't stand the garish transition effects (pupils will love them!), there is a PDF version of the presentation. Follow-up worksheets are well differentiated. The task for the most able students is to parse the whole sentence. For the middle ability, the direct and indirect objects have to be highlighted in different colours. The least able are required simply to highlight only the indirect object.
This presentation includes slides showing how adverbs in a sentence can appear in 4 different positions, but do not form part of the SVO structure. The accompanying worksheets are coded with animal symbols. (Horse = High; Monkey = Middle; Leopard = Low). There are two worksheets for each level. Answers are supplied.
