Mince Pie Monster - Christmas Script Writing

(0)
All my Christmas lessons packed in here: A 3 lesson unit of script writing, with WAGOLLs, progressions and full story Two circuit lessons Two maths lessons (revising FDP, Time and Measure) A couple more small activities Currently delivering this to two P6 classes but could be used from P4 to P7 with ease.
Battleships, Chess & Football Grid References

Battleships, Chess & Football Grid References

(0)
These slides are created on Keynote and can be exported from powerpoint to any apple device for pupils to manipulate and learn with all the individual pieces. Battleships works well using the drawing tool, chess is a simple case of drag and drop (get the kids to tell the other player the grid references to help identify which pawn/bishop/knight etc) The football slide can be adapted and used with basketball, hockey, volleyball and more.
Equations: SDG 15

Equations: SDG 15

This is a 4 lesson unit of work that explores equations and algebra tiles through the Global Goal lens of ‘Life on Land’. The unit exposes pupils to endangered species in Scotland whilst also allowing them to learn facts about the animals through solving equations. Very much designed to follow a CPA approach to numeracy, algebra tiles are highly recommended (if you don’t have them, just chop up lots of yellow and green paper - it’s what I have done!)

TEAR Scenario Slides

TEAR Scenario Slides

These slides follow the TEAR framework as advocated by Action Jackson. The idea being that your Thoughts can change your Emotions and ultimately your Actions - which will always end with a Result. This framework is a really useful structure for children to reflect upon when things go wrong (and when they go right too). I find myself talking with children about the emotion part - once they feel an emotion such as anger or frustration, what strategies do they have to try and take a moment, can we work together to find a strategy that might work etc

Writing: Music Reviews, Upper Primary, SDG 8

(0)
This 4 week unit of work looks at music review writing. It starts with identifying key features and structure, before moving on to subject specific vocabularly and relevant imagery. Pupils have lots of choice throughout and I’d highly recommend you edit the musical artists to those that your class are interested in.

1900-2020 Self-Led History Encyclopedia

This is a resource designed to work with 1:1 devices - but could be adapted using the QR codes to print out/show the pertinent information for pupils. The idea is that children pick one QR code, scan it and take notes. They have 20 minutes to fill the main part of the ‘prof forma’ (example found in slides). The final 10 minutes is spent carouselling round other pupils to fill shorter boxes with information about the other two events from the decade. There are regular recall sessions which I would suggest you present as a quick ‘test’ at the start of a session. Over the course of (up to) 12 weeks, the pupils will have created their own encyclopedia of the past 120 years. The events picked aim to allow pupils to form links and see how events develop and the decisions of leaders and populations have consequences that can last many years,
6 Reading Lessons - Created by Pupils

6 Reading Lessons - Created by Pupils

(0)
6 stories, all written by pupils with accompanying tasks, backdrops and soundtracks. We would usually airdrop a story to pupils and have them read twice (once alone, second time paragraph at a time with their partner) before coming to the carpet to tackle the Quickfire Questions as a whole class. The Comprehension activity is completed in jotters and the creative task is very free and pupil led. First resource I’ve ever charged for - spoken with the pupils and they are happy to share and for all funds raised to go towards P7 camp
