A full PowerPoint presentation for teaching children about Shape Poetry. The PowerPoint is engaging for the whole class by asking different questions, using inference and comprehension skills by showing several examples of Shape Poems. There are also two templates of a house included for the children to write their own shape poem about their own house, a ‘dream’ house or haunted mansion etc. Excellent resources to use as part of a ‘Patterns on a Page’ topic or a Poetry topic for Years 1 - 3.

An excellent resource for a teaching input of French which can cover 3 lessons: Greetings, questions about each other and numbers, including asking how old someone is.

The PowerPoint is editable once downloaded, so you can add your own French speech, change learning objectives and add activities if necessary.

A template for NQTs or trainee teachers to track progress against all of the teaching standards throughout the course of a year (Autumn, Spring and Summer terms). Very useful to use at review or assessment points throughout the year as evidence for meeting the Teaching Standards and personal & professional conduct standards. I personally used this template to submit evidence of how I met each standard at the end of my NQT year, and my NQT mentor found it very supportive when writing up my final assessment review form. Download is in Microsoft Word format so is easily editable. Suitable for Primary and Secondary NQTs/trainee teachers in the UK.

A PowerPoint presentation and 3 differentiated worksheets on questions and commands, ideal for a SPAG lesson or general English lesson in Year 2 or Year 3, or revision on questions and commands in any year group in KS2. Activities and questions are clear and engaging, and are useful for teaching children about when to use an exclamation mark or a question mark at the end of sentences. Some questions also ask to turn a command into a question, and vice versa. I recently used these worksheets for an observed lesson in a mixed ability Year 2 class in which children enjoyed completing and made very good progress, with the lesson being graded as ‘Outstanding’
