Six posters breaking down how to use 6 tenses in English - Present simple, Present continuous, Past simple, Past continuous, Future with ‘will’ and Future with ‘Going to’.
Colourful displays to print out and stick up on the wall or into student notebooks (A3 or A4 for the wall, A4 or A5 for the notebooks). The structures allow students to check their own sentence structures and to get their sentences right while they are learning.
A line graphs class to teach interpreting and creation of line graphs. Resources for the whole line graphs lesson.
This is a whole lesson for teaching interpretation and making of line charts/graphs.
It begins with an introduction to the key parts of a line graph and examples of independent/dependent variables, gives students a few questions to answer to show understanding and to think about WHY the graph may show what it shows. There is an activity at the end differentiated into 3 groups, with a self checklist for students and an explanation of the answers.
A simple PPT lesson which will introduce interpreting and handling data, specifically with relation to column charts/ bar graphs.
It begins by asking students to guess what a blank graph could represent (interpreting data), before moving on to various graphs with questions designed to introduce the vocabulary related to graphs (axis/axes, mode, range) while also interpreting the data.
There is one slide at the end which asks a number of questions to check understanding of the vocabulary and to interpret the graph, and then a final slide which asks students to create their own survey question and think about what the graph could look like.
A short course designed to get primary students confident in their public speaking, specifically in reading stories they have written in another class.
Pack includes a simple PPT identifying voice, body language, language, content and eye contact as the important features of public speaking. Students use this to fill in the blank rubric (included) in the first class.
From then on, students come to the class with a piece to perform and Prepare, perform and do a group reflection based on their notes and rubrics.

Why buy a worksheet, when you could buy a worksheet generator?
This bundle could save you hours of time in many aspects of your work.
Writing student assessments? You've got a generator for that.
Appraising staff? Yup, that too!
Making Maths worksheets? And how! Print loads of different varieties of arithmetic worksheets, totally randomised at the click of a button.
Making subjects fun? No problem, use the alien code generator to write a message to your students, or print out a randomised game of snakes and ladders for Maths.
Group activities? Library class? No problem, make some role cards before you go in, or some library challenges.
NOW INCLUDES THE AUTOMATICE LESSON PLAN GENERATOR!!!
I wouldn't go as far as to say you'll never need to buy or make another worksheet, but it's sure that this bundle will really change the way you spend your time for the better.
A nice little generator for creating cards to hand out to students with, for example, their role for the class or the task their team needs to complete.
Just type the text - header/subtext - and print from the next tab. I've included a set of library task cards as well as a generic set of role cards to start you off, but you can create whatever cards you like, with whatever text.
No formatting required, you just need to adjust the cell boundaries if you type too much (a simple double click), or the page break boundaries (a drag and drop).
This tool will create and print 8 cards with no trouble. If you need more cards, just print one set and edit the list.
No dice? No problem.
Just occasionally, you may want to roll a die but have no dice to hand. Maybe you want to have a fun way to select which team does an activity first, maybe you want to see who in the class can add all the numbers the fastest. There are countless reasons to use dice in your class, but there are also many reasons why they may not be practical or available SO....
Introducing the dice roller.
Choose one die up to five dice. Roll them on screen by pressing f9, which generates random numbers on every die. Add fun by having students 'roll the dice' by holding f9 down for a few seconds with their eyes covered.
Great way to play a dice game with no actual dice!
Create messages for your students written in alien code and print them out instantly.
Alien message decoding can be a fantastic activity to engage students with a topic, or to introduce a task. This tool will allow you to type in any message in any (roman alphabet) language, and print out the message in alien code, along with a key.
I love to leave these messages for students to find and watch the children's excitement as they try and decode.
A selection of 11 beautiful hand-drawn pictures for colouring. Look at the thumbnail to see which images are available and whether they are suitable for the children you want to give them to.
I expect these will be used for colouring, but they could also be used to make documents look nicer, or for budding artists to try to copy.

If you are a head of department, you assess a lot of teachers and you need to save some time providing your feedback.
Use this tool to save you hours. Simply add in the most common comments that you make (eg ' This was a very teacher oriented class. I'd like to see some more student-student interaction'), add the names of the teachers and assign which comments you want to appear in the appraisal for which teachers.
Then, print. Job done!
This tool works up to a maximum of 30 teachers and 30 of your comments. If you need more teachers or more comments, simply save a second version of the tool.
I created this activity as part of a post-grad project to assess primary student misconceptions in spatial measurement of area, perimeter, circumference, surface area, and volume of shapes including cuboids, prisms and cylinders.
Students essentially calculate the various properties of a shape, which is slowly manipulated and recalculated bit by bit, with each step being more challenging than the last. Questions have been asked which relate to common misconceptions in maths and will provide insights into whether students really understand the concepts of area, perimeter, circumference, surface area and volume, and if they are able to apply what they do know to potentially real life situations.
I really enjoyed doing this activity with my primary (grade 6/year7) students and found it fascinating to see what misconceptions they had. It's worth noting, however, that the last task proved too challenging for them so perhaps it would be better suited to a grade 7/8 or year 8/9 class.
This activity will take about an hour. It comes with an answer sheet and a few notes for the teacher, highlighting misconceptions children may have.
When you are assessing student work, whether it's writing, group presentations, speeches or any other aspect of their school performance, there's a good chance that you have some comments which apply to multiple students.
Use this tool to save you hours. Simply add in the most common comments that you make (eg ' You worked very hard on this speech, but it was very difficult to hear you.'), add the names of the students and assign which comments you want to appear in the feedback for which students.
Then, print. Job done!
This tool works up to a maximum of 30 students and now up to 100 of your comments. If you need more student names or more comments, simply save a second version of the tool.
Snakes and ladders board game generator for practising addition of two numbers between 1 and 10, or 1 and 100.
Simply print off the relevant board. Want more versions so children can change after they finish? Press F9 to randomise all the sums and print again. Unlimited combinations of questions.
Instant worksheet generator.
Just open the spreadsheet for a randomly generated 10-question worksheet with an answer page. No cute cliparts, no distractions. Print it off and go.
