Using elements of spaced learning to help the children study, this is a comprehensive but concise series of lessons which culminates in test-style SATs questions on the focus area.

Black history month. A whole- year group task for the day, culminating in a written reflection of Apartheid. Incredibly interesting day's work!

wicked xmas lessons!

With less questions than the usual SATs test, this resource was used in my class this week in an hour session, allowing enough time to discuss the vocabulary and practice answering questions worded in a similar way to the tests from the last two years. The theme is ‘Mummies’, which the boys enjoyed. This is a non-fiction paper, but with longer texts and no subheadings.

A quick resource, about 30 mins, to help the children understand how to use the text when answering questions in a reading test. Texts are linked in the presentation. I use this each week, changing the text and the questions. Please leave feedback and I will respond!

A series of activities and comprehension questions based on Macbeth, using snippets of the original text and an abridged version to read as a class. The text is not my own, it is typed from Usborne Illustrated stories from Shakespeare.

Specifically focusing on summarising a text for its purpose, I use this as a standalone lesson with my year 6s!

8 different texts with main text and LA (lower ability) differentiated texts. These have been fantastic in boosting up my class' SATs reading scores. If this receives good reviews, many more will be uploaded!

Introductory games, worksheet and golden rules presentation included, which should take a teacher and his/her new class all the way up to breaktime :-) Contents: speaking activity game morning starter printable/editable resource for the children editable powerpoint slides for the teachers, with notes attached The ‘passport’ sets up targets for the child for the year and provides a nice way to reflect throughout. Designed to facilitate a smooth start to the year. I also used the time we had to design a logo for the front of the passports- r you could just stick your school’s logo on the front.

These engaging, challenging debates fit into the new OFSTED framework, looking for emphasis on debate. Drawing upon reading, speaking and listening skills, these lessons have proven to be a huge hit with my Year 5 and 6 children!

I’ve included a range of subjects to start the day, combining curricular objectives with holistic life skills. I use these regularly with my class and they love it!
