The Iron Man by Ted Hughes English and other topics bundle ! Ideal for any teacher who as either never taught the story before or a more experienced teacher looking for some fresh ideas to teach this - I have also done this with a Year 5 class ! Although this bundle is mainly English and Guided reading related there a couple of topic bits that would certainly fit Geography, Art or DT ! This includes at least 3 Big write lessons that would work either stand alone or a couple of days before to build up to as well as a lesson called Ask it which I did as a lead in for the first lesson on this topic which got the children asking a range of questions about a short piece of opening text which was used in addition to the BBC short animated clip on the Iron man also - this was used to great success ! In addition to leveled comprehension questions that once popped into books show progression over time in both guided reading and English books. I believe this to be a great bundle of resources in order to hit the ground running ! Any queries etc do message away - The kids and SMT did like the structure within these lessons and activties here !

Perseverance assembly - Climbing a mountain This is an assembly of mine I did to all of Key Stage 2 over 200 children in the hall to talk to them about the idea of Perservance and what this meant and was all about - the opening slide is a video one and I got them to try and guess the title of the assembly as they came in and watched it - the other slides are for points on discussion and information in regard to this and resilience also - this went very well and the children did get the message !

Although there is only a small amount here I beleive this would be a great start for someone new to the book and the resources here would be an ideal starting point for someone having never done this before - The hook “ask it” lesson was great at stimulating ideas to provide a hook for the children following the included video also - I am sure this would be very useful to any teacher teaching top end students and may even be useful to Year 7-Year 9 teachers ! Any queries do feel free to message !

A stand alone lesson in regard to the pros and cons of tourism in Tourism - this I did to a Year 6 class on the topic on mountains within a Geography lesson - enclosed video also and for points of discussion with the plenary part of this - if the video doesn`t play I can send you this seperatley - Basically a stand alone lesson which worked well and could easily fit Key Stage 3 also

This stand alone lesson is basically a note taking one, where a short video (enclosed) is played then the class take notes then following this the children are given 3 levels of writing yellow blue red and they have criteria to cover in each. This was done in a geography lesson but would be ideal for cross curr writing in English and did bring out a lot of technical vocab from the group and good writing was produced -
