If you are not a PE specialist this is a good lesson as it could be repeated several times and it teaches some of the key skills in football. Follow the lesson plan but it is very simple. After the warm up split the class into 5 groups. Laminate the cards and put them at five different places as there are five different activities. You might want to pick children to demonstrate each activity first, especially if they are younger. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

There is a 'while you wait' looking at 'an', then an unrelated starter (was/were) and then examples of how 'a' and 'the' can change the meaning of a sentence, for example a queen/the queen, a dog/the dog. They then create their own sentences and draw pictures. e.g. There is a dog. (they draw any dog) There is the dog (their own or one they know).

Follow the Smart board slides which takes you through this lesson which aims to develop their use of alliteration and extend their vocabulary.This is very structured so all the class can write a great poem, whatever their ability. There is an example poem and vocabulary ideas for you to extend their vocabulary range, including an A to Z adjective sheet with high quality vocab. Looks great for display.

This was part of a festival topic we did in year 6 where the children imagined going round the UK to different festivals. In the first two lessons the children plan what they would need to take on a trip and design their own vehicle (DT). They begin in Norwich at the Dragon Festival and then move on to Birmingham for the Sikh New Year festival (Vaisakhi). Then they pop over to India! Then return for the Festival of Speed and the Welsh Music festival.The Smart Boards are detailed and can be followed without a lesson plan. Then they travel to Northern Ireland.

These are chosen from the list of non-statutory homophones that year 3 and 4 should learn, from the new national curriculum for English. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!This game teaches the definitions as well. When the word is in brackets and in capitals the children should spell it out by saying the letter names. Time yourselves and make a note of the time. reward them when they beat their time!

It helps if the children have an introduction to contractions before beginning this. This is a really enjoyable activity which the children loved. They have to look through picture and chapter books to find examples of contractions.They find that they are often in dialogue. Give them a fixed time and a reward e.g.moves forward. We have a track on the wall and they have to get to the end by the end of the week by getting enough moves forward. If they get to the end they get a small prize. Very motivating. You can also give moves back which they don't like!

A straight forward activity where the children answer various questions interpreting a pictogram graph. They have to be careful and remember than 1 face means 2 children!

This is for high level 2 and level 3 and is designed to revise lots of key position and direction vocabulary. There is a Smartboard to take you through the lesson. The children will need computers to go on for the main lesson. You will need to put the word doc with the game links on, on to your school network for the children to click on. The plenary is a simple vocabulary bingo game. PLEAS LEAVE FEEDBACK!

This game could be made easier or harder. Cut up the cards and share them out. It uses different vocabulary for add and total. Time how long it takes and see if they can improve their score!

The children are introduced to what a simile is on the smart board slides, which includes a link to some internet games. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! They then have to hunt for the similes in copies of popular books like MrGum, Harry Potter and the BFG. I photocopied pages from them-there is a word doc with the book titles and page numbers where the similes appear.

Aimed at level 3 children -Years 3 and 4-When you follow the Smartboard slides you will see that the children are given a real challenge. They have to draw the cube net out themselves. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! All you need is to get a piece of squared A4 paper and photocopy it on to card. You also need some pens, stickers and sequins so they can make it special. They can write 'Top secret' and &'keep out&'; on their boxes! Most will need to make a few attempts at it. It is really good for their understanding of nets and 3D shapes.Remind them not to forget the flaps!

This lesson introduces the children to the 'Titanic&' disaster. First it asks them to discuss what they already know, then it looks at &';The Daily Mail' cover from the time and they have to create a list of questions they would ask if they had seen this at the time. Then they have to read it (the newspaper article is available online). I had a copy of the actual paper to photocopy and give out. Tell them they can now find the answers. They will soon realise when reading the article that the information is completely inaccurate and this should create an interesting discussion.

I am not an American so please forgive me for missing out really important things on here-America is too great to put it all into one Smartboard! I made this to introduce the children to America. It looks briefly at the flag, maps, the president, famous sports people etc. Make up a quiz on some of the information and then play an American word bingo game. Finally set them a challenge to find out the meaning of American words on the computers in pairs. The first pair to find them all has a prize.

This lesson teaches children that subtraction means difference between and gets them to work out 3-digit subtraction on a number line. After working through some examples there is two levels of work which the children can do. I usually let them pick which difficulty they want to start on. The plenary is marking their own work, the answers are on the SB. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

'The Real Thief' is one of my favourite children's books, here is an exciting unit I have created around this wonderfully engaging story about a loyal goose who is falsely accused of a crime and the emotions that surround this. The unit includes some drama to bring the story to life. It covers reading comprehension, poetry scripts, vocabulary development, shape poetry, persuasive writing and story writing in the first person. The key is not telling the children what happens next, so they do not know who the real thief is until you want them to.The language is exquisite. The second part of the story explores the real thief Derek (a mouse) and his changing emotions . Children learn to empathise when they think of how much they sometimes desire toys etc and can explore both sides of the story, learning that characters are more complex than good/bad.

This is a comprehension quiz which children can complete as they watch Planet earth, season 1, episode 8. This is a fantastic episode which looks at animals and plants in jungles. Suitable for key stage 2.

There is the story and then two comprehensions aligned to the latest national curriculum and the questions mirror the ones asked in SATS in year 6. Quality text to extend vocabulary.

This lesson teaches children about the famous Olympic boxer, it has links to interviews with her and encourages the children to make notes so they can write about her at the end. The Smartboard slides contain sentence starters to help the children.

A useful, simple and fun game to teach children the different suffixes. Time yourselves then try to get faster each time you play.

This is a problem solving lesson with 11 challenges which get harder as the numbers progress. Children have one challenge at a time, which is sheet with a hundred square on and several clues, mostly relating to multiples, odd,evens, greater than and less than. They have to work out the mystery number. How many can they do in a given time? When I did this lesson the children really enjoyed it. They can cross off numbers on the h/sq as they read the clues.
