I am a Year 6 teacher, I've taught a variety of Primary age groups but mainly Year 5 & 6 in the old and new curriculum. I have worked in London, an international school and further areas in the UK.
I am an English specialist and love finding creative varied ways of teaching this subject. I also love drama and putting on productions.

There aren't many scripts that are suitable for a full class/school production, so I have always written my own, with my class. After "Greeks Got Talent" became so popular on here, I decided to upload my favourite production ever.
My Year 5 class wrote this, with support and editing from me. It took us about an hour and ten minutes.
It has 15 speaking parts and spaces where some of The Lion King songs fit in. I have not uploaded the songs, as it is a large album. We purchased them from iTunes (the Elton John stage show version) and burnt them onto a CD for the stage show (check how this is affected by copyright in your area).
Amazing costumes, amazing dance routines, great jokes....my favourite ever!
I thought this week overview might be useful for NQTs or others trying to organise their planning in a simple way.
I use a medium term plan for each of my 3 topics in the year, covering objectives for the year’s curriculum (I have also uploaded these on my shop) and a weekly Maths and English plan. But I just complete one of these each week for the following week and I annotate it with school events, what things I inevitably cannot cover when other things get in the way and so on…
It’s a pretty simple resource, but the format might save you some time.
