I strongly believe in mass, active participation and my resources will reflect this. Differentiation is also key to my teaching. The most important factor in my teaching is always fun! I have observed well over 100 lessons and I am confident which resources can be used to enhance learning.

This is a wonderfully simple resource that is great for target setting. I use this for Maths and Writing and stick it on the inside of both books. Each half term, I set two new targets that are specific to the individual child. One target sheet for the whole year!
This is a Who Wants to be a Millionaire themed assembly to teach the children about resilience. Each question is linked to the theme resilience, and after each correct question they receive a letter. We call it 'Who want to win a word?' I have also included a story that can be used to support the assembly and a video link to further enhance the message being shared. The assembly time will be around 20-25 minutes and if you want to impress your colleagues and ensure the children have a fun, interactive learning experience, then this assembly presentation is for you. This presentation is completely editable, which will allow you to make slight changes to suit your context.

Each Week I ask my class a Maths riddle. You will find three riddles a week for 21 weeks. Sometimes my class receive the riddle on day one of the week and are still going on day 5! The children really enjoy trying to solve each riddle and so do some of the other teachers! Have fun with it and share it with your colleagues at work. I use it with Years 2 and 3. Enjoy!
*** Alternative use for World Math Day ***
Print out all of the muddles and stick them around the school. Stick them on the walls, in the canteen, library, basically anywhere that the children will visit throughout the day. The children really enjoy it and it brings the whole day to life! Enjoy!
This three week planning unit covers a range of activities and objectives. I have included the planning, PowerPoints and Success Criteria templates. This could easily be adapted for Years 2-5.

At the end of the three week unit the children will write their own version of Flat Stanley using the Powerpoint and Success Criteria as an aid.
All documents and PowerPoints can easily be edited to suit you needs.

This 2 page document is to allow your children to have a 'Pupil Voice' and comment on what they enjoy about school. Older children should be able to complete this independently, whereas Key Stage One students will need adult support. I usually send this document out to students once per year.I have also used it alongside the school Student Council. Enjoy!

This Powerpoint was created to celebrate International Day at our school. In the Powerpoint there are images and a fun 'Family Fortunes Game'. There is also well over 40 flags and audio files to celebrate the different countries around the world. The Powerpoint has 51 slides and this Powerpoint will be a great addition to your International Day activities/assembly.
**** If the children get the correct answer when playing the 'Family Fortunes' game, click on the relevant number. If they get the answer incorrect click on one of the black boxes.
This is a fun, interactive game that promotes active participation and can be easily differentiated. It would be great for an observation! On each slide a question appears on the screen and all the children have to think about the answer. After 6-8 seconds a name flashes across the screen and that child should shout out the answer. The children love this game and you should all give it a go! Tip - Repeat a child's name, so that they never know when their name will appear. It will be one of the best Maths warms up you will ever do!
