I provide a wide range of resources for use in the classroom and around school. My resources build on children's learning and consider the smaller steps children need to take to achieve the learning. My resources have a focus on 'mastery' style questions where possible, to develop children's critical thinking and reasoning skills. As a practicing primary teacher myself, I know how essential it is to have well organised lesson resources with engaging activities that focus on the learning.

Well organised. Each spelling list covers a specific rule from the year group curriculum, including common exception words.
For ease of coverage, I have split the year 3/4 and 5/6 spelling rules and common exception words into separate year groups.
The bulk of the Y5/6 spellings are covered in the year 5 set, in order to give year 6 time to recap spellings from other year groups before SATs week.
Easy to use in class and can be used easily alongside lessons/ other resources for learning spellings. Also useful to help you identify spelling rules to teach.
Sheets can be sent home to help children with learning their spellings.
30 spelling lists for year 3 and 30 spelling lists for year 4.
Well organised. Each spelling list covers a specific rule from the year 3/4 curriculum. For ease of coverage, I have split the year 3/4 spelling rules and common exception words into two separate year groups.

These have also been used for recap work in upper key stage 2.
30 spelling lists for year 4.
Well organised. Each spelling list covers a specific rule from the year 4 curriculum. Note, as the spelling curriculum for year 3 is merged with year 4, I have separated the spellings into two separate year groups.
Each spelling has space for children to find out what the word means and then use the word in a sentence, so as they learn more about the word than just the spelling.
Easy to use in class and can be used easily alongside spelling lessons/other resources for learning spellings. Also useful to help you identify spelling rules to teach.

These have also been used for recap work in years 5/6.
Children may need to recap the spelling work from year 3.
Self and Peer assessment forms to encourage children to critically consider the learning that they or their partner has achieved and give praise for these by identifying what has gone well. Children also become more aware of the presentation of their work.
Encourages children to think about giving constructive feedback to themselves or a peer and set a target to work toward next time. Children are much more engaged in remembering and responding to such targets.
Can be edited to include specific learning objectives or success criteria, hence this resource can be used for any lesson.
Helps you identify what children really know about their learning and how well they are doing.
A great edition to children's books to for book scrutiny or inspections, particularly in line with the 2014 curriculum.
Could support your marking, cutting down the time you spend on marking.
Used very effectively across KS2 and has really improved children's thinking about their own work. They no longer finish work and never look back over it again. It has really started children talking about their work. For less able children, a class discussion before hand about what learning may look like and possible targets to set has been helpful.
