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.

All resources (including starters) included, including a link to the abridged and original text online. Through debate, comprehension and smaller written tasks, this frameworks a strong written outcome- great for y5-6. Assessed several times in some 'outstanding' lessons, this was the most successful series of lessons I've made in a long time, and the results were some fantastic written stories at the end!

Using famous artworks, the children discuss the art and its producers, learning about the context of great works of art. They explain their opinions and write reflections before producing art. This has been shown to improve written and spoken English in my classes.

I’ve used this as art lead to show my staff how to teach art in KS2. I’ve used Van Gogh as an example here to show hoe I would create a unit of work from his work, Cafe at Night.
