This is such a fun activity to do with your class! The slides contain 20 pages, each one with a high frequency word embedded into the picture somehow. I have included a couple of these so you can see what they look like in the preview. Not only can the children try and find them, which supports their spelling and recognition of the word. They can try and put it in a sentence that matches the picture. If this is popular, I am happy to make more for the rest of the high frequency words.

This is a 6 page resource that includes all 100 Year 3 and 4 (LKS2) Common Exception Words in Anagram form. This is great activity to support children with the spelling of these words, that is fun, but also requires to look at the list of words multiple times to spot patterns in spelling. I have used this before and has a huge impact on their knowlede of these words and also takes quite a bit of time to do! Great to do in pairs and small groups!

There are 3 crosswords that have been made to support Year 5 and 6 (UKS2) children practice their knowledge and spelling of the Common Exception Words (CEW) Great for a morning or holding activity or homework.

A crossword based on the video game Fortnite. Great for a morning activity or holding activity. Includes answers as well as the crossword.

There are 5 wordsearches, each containing groups of 20 of the 1st 100 High Frequency Words. The wordsearches are shaped as fun patterns such as smiley faces, boats and hearts, and answers are only left to right, and top to bottom. Great morning activity, holding activity or fun way to practice the spelling and reading of HFWs.

Attached is a document (editable) I have used for many years as Lead Practitioner. Document has previous areas of development at the top as a reference point, in addition to notes made during the lesson. Although I write these on paper during the lesson, these are transferred to the template sent to the teacher to demonstrate transparency and feedback has been that these notes have been useful to read. Strengths and Areas to Develop at the bottom, as well as notes on learning behaviour and whether children were making progress in the lesson. All the key aspects of a good lesson observation form.

The journey our school took to No More Marking. This resource includes the following: Flowchart as to the process of effective feedback. What do after the lesson, how to fill the feedback form in, what to before the next lesson and adaptive feedback. Links to the websites I used as part of my journey to introduce no more marking in our large primary school. Proforma for a Maths Feedback Form with guidance as to how to use this. I introduced this to 2 schools with outstanding results. Results: Student progress increased, and teachers had a greater understanding of what their students needs were. Maths lessons improved as a result of this introduction.

This resource is perfect for parents of children ranging in ages from Year 6 to GCSE, and for the students to have as a resource to support their independence of using these written methods. The methods are specific to the Year 6 arithmetic paper, but these methods are also used all the way upto GCSE as well. The resource includes explanations of how to use the method, including an image of a flipchart outlining a visual representation for extra support. The methods that it explains are: Column Multiplication Bus Stop Division (short) Long Division (using a proven method I have used for many years for all ages) Adding fractions with the same and different denominators Multiplying fractions Dividing fractions by a whole number Fractions of a number Precentages of a number

This document gives you lots of AfL strategies to use directly in the classroom.
