The Teaching Deputy

Average Rating4.19
(based on 68 reviews)

Hello, thank you for looking around my shop. I am a teaching deputy head teacher, with 16 years of experience, who works in a rural primary school. I know how wearing many hats can eat into your time but understand how important excellent resources are for engaging pupils so they make accelerated progress. I have included lots of free resources in my shop but placed a small charge for resources which have taken me many hours to create. I hope you enjoy them and use them to motivate your pupils.

The 3 units are: Diary Extract in Role based on Street Child by Berlie Doherty Explanatory Texts based on Cracking Contraptions by Wallace and Gromit & Until I Met Dudley by Roger McGough Persuasive Letter based on Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt by Deborah Hopkinson These units of work use the 3 stage planning process of: • Stimulate and generate • Capture, sift and sort • Create, refine and evaluate Stimulate and generate = This usually starts with a hook to interest the class where the class realise who they are going to write for so they have a clear purpose and audience. Acticitives can include reading excellent model texts, drama or researching more about the author or the content of the book. Capture, sift and sort = This is the part of the unit where pupils look at key features, practise skills they will need in order to complete the final piece or new learning for objectives they have not learnt yet.

Mysterious Traveller Reading Comprehension

This is a great whole book planned guided reading unit based on the book Mysterious Traveller by Mal Peet & Elspeth Graham. The story tells of an old man finding an abandoned baby in the desert who he adopts as his own grand-daughter. he teaches her how to track her way through the desert and she travels with him while he guides traders through the deserts of northern Africa. When he loses his vision she becomes his eyes and they work in tandem on their adventures. I have planned a unit of work that is split into 9 different reading comprehensions as each set of questions has between 6 and 8 questions and covers 5 pages of the book. I have also included printer friendly pages where there are 3 copies of the questions on each page so it is easy to prepare for lessons. I have included all the answers too as this is a great time saver. The questions are designed to easily fit English books as I have adjusted the margins so they fit. I hope your class enjoys this book as much as mine have always done.

Teamwork Display and group organiser

Here are some team work cards which explain each member's responsibilities. I use these every time I put pupils into groups so they can practise all of the roles. This really develops their confidence as many pupils do not get these opportunities unless you manage different team roles. The roles are as follows: Leader, Organiser, Motivator and Reporter. Below is an example of what the Leader is. As the leader you are responsible for …. • Making sure everyone has a role or task to complete • Making sure it is finished on time • Making the final decision if your group cannot agree • Speaking with an adult if your group is struggling
