“Nevertheless We Persisted”

“Nevertheless We Persisted”

(0)
“Nevertheless We Persisted”- This is my take on a “Wow work wall” I love this saying and can’t wait to teach persistence to my class! My idea is that under this heading I will display a range of the children’s work of utter effort & determination not just work that is commonly seen as “the best”. Each child has their own definition of “the best” that they can produce and I can’t wait to honour all of those abilities groupings.

PLENARY PACK

(0)
During my first term of teacher training, I struggled with the concept of the importance of a lesson plenary. With research, I discovered that a good plenary has the ability to highlight not only the good parts of my lessons but the common misconceptions within the class surrounding the topic. In short, I found it is the student’s way of assessing my teaching informally! • I made these clipboard plenary’s with placement Nóra in mind, if I had these during my teacher training it would have been very easy for me to quickly grab one and ask the children contribute. • Credit to my lecture for the majority of these ideas! I just took ideas I had been shown or heard classmates talk about and designed them on mini clipboards and added clipart so they could be accessible to the children too. • This pack comes with 23 cards in PDF format! •

Times-Tables Word Problems

(0)
I have been putting together this times tables word problem resource recently. I grabbed word problems from all over the internet, for each times table (2-12). This is in an attempt to grow my student’s confidence when they cross numbers with words in assessments and to consolidate their tables. • My class are often more than able for the questions they are posed with but as soon as they see words they freak out. This is super common! • These word problems are all multiplication, so although they don’t need to consider the operation to choose they do have to filter through the words to gain an understanding of what figures to manage and manipulate. I colour coordinated each set for so I know exactly what’s what.

READING BOOK TASK RESOURCE PACK- OVER 30 TASKS

(0)
I found wee tasks like these handy during placement as extensions when I was working with a target focus group. They also revealed a child’s understanding of the content of the book further. I thought by having a pack ready to go it would help me during my NQT year with timing and organisation. • I made this 4 category reading bundle pack for library book and guided reading tasks. I split the pack into 4 category’s which are: Charter work Setting work Word work Author work
“MINI MINDFULNESS MOMENTS”

“MINI MINDFULNESS MOMENTS”

(0)
“MINI MINDFULNESS MOMENTS” Handy brain breaks for lesson transitions. • Keeping the children’s mental wellbeing positive in school is a main priority for me, little tasks like these throughout the day should help them clear their heads before the next lesson! • Loads of love & don’t forget to take your own little mindfulness moment today and every day • I have to give credit to my lectures, fellow PGCE students and Twinkl for some of the ideas but the majority of these amazing ideas I got from the Tes account @yesmissdaniel such a beautiful FREE resource available on her Tes shop if you would rather a different design definitely check her out

Spelling Tasks

(0)
In my opinion SPELLING TESTS are NOT an accurate measurement tool of every child’s progress. Although most schools have them as a policy I think it’s important to try and teach children that struggle with spellings (especially children with specific learning difficulties) that 10/10 in a spelling test does not make a student more worthy. • Often the traditional way of making children- rewrite spellings they got wrong underneath the test 5 times, is thought to be the correct way to ensure a child learns those spelling and although this might be true for some children, it is not helpful for children who present dyslexic traits. For these children, visual tasks and creativity work much better to highlight spelling patterns. • With these children in mind I created a “super spelling task resource” it has 12 unique ways to encourage children to pick one spelling they got wrong and do a very short task on it to allow them to master one of their words, instead of rewriting 5 words and not really learning any of them. Majority of the tasks I have made up myself but I found some online too!!
