Hi all! Welcome to my shop. Here you will find many resources that I’ve created over the last 8 years in my role as a Y3,5 and more recently Y6 teacher. These are resources that I’ve particularly enjoyed and that have saved me lots of time! I’m hoping they can do the same for you, enjoy!

Y5 No Nonsense Spelling ppt (whole year - 6 half terms)

(7)
This resource is a huge time saver! I produced these ppt’s to correlate with the No nonsense spelling framework. This worked successfully in Y5 as it meant I could literally open up the ppt each morning and I was good to go. All spellings on the no nonsense spelling programme have been spread out across the yearly ppts (split into 6 half terms) to ensure coverage. Again, this is to be used alongside the No Nonsense Spelling programme.

This resource is a huge time saver! I produced these PPT’s to correlate with the No nonsense spelling framework. This worked successfully in Y6 as it meant I could literally open up the ppt each morning and I was good to go. The spelling practise follows the no nonsense spelling programme (Y6) which included revisits some prior learning as well as new learning. Again, this is to be used alongside the No Nonsense Spelling programme. I also have these available for Y3 and Y5.

Right angles Year 3 WOW activity included - weekly plan and resources

(1)
Brilliant tried, tested an loved by all weekly plan to teach maths objectives for year 3 geometry including identifying right angles, understanding right angles as a property of a shape, recognizing irregular shapes, perimeter of shapes, using set squares and even protractors to challenge more able children. This weekly plan includes an excellent WOW lesson introducing right angles where children become right angle detectives. They have to use the properties learnt from the chief inspector (teacher) in the whole class teach to help them to identify right angles hiding in shapes scattered around the classroom. I have used this year after year and even went as far as giving the children the science lab coats to get them into character. THEY LOVED IT! Differentiated work sheets provided to evidence the practical activity. Differentiated planning. Also includes resources for making set square/right angle checker tools for children to use. Brilliant for encouraging and implementing fun practical learning through maths!

Full 3 week unit for 'A Bear Called Paddington' Y3

Full 3 week unit for 'A Bear Called Paddington' Y3

(0)
One of my favourite novel as a theme units! This 3 week unit of planning promotes children to use lots of new vocabulary to enhance their writing and reading skills! Skills are practised and reinforces throughout the thorough 3 week unit e.g. sentence structure skills, vocabulary, recounts skills, descriptive skills, writing in 1st and 3rd person, grammar starter prompts plus more. I found that this text was a winner with children as eventhough it had lots of new unfamiliar vocabulary to challenge and stretch the children’s language choices, the humour and mischief that Paddington gets up to throughout the text consistently pulls the children in and makes them enjoy their writing! (Hence making a teachers job easier!) There are some resources to support, along with links to videos where appropriate. The DVD is always a plus to support teaching so that the chidlren can see snapshots of parts of the book that they have read in action (Paddington and the bathroom scene went down a storm!) I strongly recommend this as a Novel as a theme! Planning id detailed, differentiated, with recommended TA/T support where needs, including plenaries, success criterias and grammar starter ideas. All learning objectives are lifted from the Y3 literacy objectives. Enjoy!

Full unit of work for Y3 Stone age Britain! Plus extra cross-curricular resources!

(0)
Full unit of work (14 detailed and differentiated lesson plans) for teaching stone age-iron age Britain, including curriculum overview to support cross-curricular planning ideas, a powerpoint to support teaching and a large bulk of resources to support a wide range of activities (writing, food technology, art, DT, science etc) plus some display resources. A must for anyone teaching this for the first time on the new curriculum and for anyone who is looking to save time and to not have to make own resources from scratch! Some resources provided are linked to the popular animated film 'The Croods' which is based on a family living in stone age Britain, I used these in litracy. showing them a short clip from the film (e.g clip of a certain character) and then using this to stimulate creative/descriptive writing in a fun way. There are also lessons linking to science learning objectives to help you cover the 'rocks and soils' unit. As a taster to the planning, the first lesson includes using a mystery box to which children pull images from and discuss ideas about what they are going to be learning about. Another practical lesson provides a carousel of activities which will enable the children to experience what stone age life would be like. In another activity, children learn about tools and are encouraged to work in teams to design and build a tool for a purpose using only resources found in their outdoor school environment! (Brilliant if you have access to a forest school area). Something like this would have been great when I was looking fir ideas but ended up having to make many myself. Please use, reuse and teach on! :)

Full Topic planning for Anglo-Saxons Y3

(0)
This is a fully planned and differentiated Topic (Called 'changing worlds' -you don't have to call it this if you don't wish) based on full coverage of Y3 history skills focusing on the learning of Anglo-Saxon Britain. As well as History skills, the planning clearly identifies NC skills for other foundation subjects which are covered in this planning! The planning included a ppt to support chn's visual understanding throughout theme as well as to support you when teaching. Planning covers areas including Anglo-Saxon; - homes - leisure - everyday life/roles - time line skills - significant events (The discovery of Sutton Hoo) - comparisons of how things have changed over time - observing artefacts/using sources to collect information about the past - questioning skills - understanding of how Anglo-Saxons came into power - fossils The planning is very clear to follow. Each activity is differentiated for HA/MA/LA appropriately, however you may of course have to differentiate further depending on the individual needs of children in your class. I have spent a long time planning this topic, using all necessary documents to ensure NC skills and knowledge are being taught to ensure progression! Download and save yourself time!
