This powerpoint covers all common 2D shapes, properties and related vocabulary. This is a useful tool to use when revising 2D shapes and introducing the correct terminology to use when describing/identifying shapes. This can also be used to introduce further 2D shapes following pupils previous learning in past years.

This topic planner and display resources are for use with a cross curricular study with a focus on Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K Rowling. All of the signs and display material requires the font Harry P to be downloaded onto your computer if they are on Word format. I have made a number of posters to explain and showcase the pupils work, in line with suggested lessons in the forward plan. I have now uploaded all display posters as PDFs to enable printing of font without downloading it, excepting any that would require ability to edit. If anyone wishes to have a look at my classroom please check out Pinterest/pammyc88/Harry Potter Classroom 2016. This has been one of the most successful full on cross curricular topics I have done to date in my teaching career and is absolutely loved by all the pupils. UPDATE: I have added in a template in for ‘A Hogwarts Ghost Story’ to the pack as well as a template for using for sending pupils their Hogwarts letters, a set of acrostic poem templates and a final quiz.

This powerpoint covers the most common 3D shapes, properties and related vocabulary.

Comprehensive mind map style topic plan on Under the Sea for forward planning. This covers early level/EYFS outcomes and also includes an overview planner for Four Contexts for Learning. The bundle also includes a range of accompanying resources; Word bank, literacy and numeracy worksheets and a homework workbook with accompanying parental information letter.

These assessments have been designed to suit any infant stages at end of year. This provides good information for passing on to next teacher and transition between stages. Also, these can be used by the next stage teacher at the beginning of the year to gauge what the pupils have retained over the summer. The Literacy assessment should be of use to anyone working with a phonics programme, especially with Jolly Phonics. There are also sections for assessing spelling, letter formation, sentence structure, blending and decoding and tricky word recognition. This is fully editable so that if you have taught some different tricky/high frequency words, these can be changed to suit the teaching. The Maths and Numeracy assessment covers the following areas; Number recognition and formation to 20, addition within 20, subtraction within 10, coin recognition, 2D and 3D shape recognition, number words, O'clock times. If you would like any further information please contact me via my shop, especially if you would like to see anything else added. I will be putting online further assessments for this stage that can be used throughout the year as the pupil learning progresses.

This booklet has reminders and revision for many of the basic concepts in Maths and Numeracy, such as Place Value, Addition/Subtraction, Multiplication/Division, Time, Fractions and Weights and Measures. The purpose of the booklet is for extra reinforcement and information for those pupils who can struggle to retain the concepts and language of Maths. The booklet can be used both in school and at home to enable the pupil to have a little more autonomy whilst engaged in independent work. For example, when attempting correct layout of sums they can check the booklet to remind themselves of what to do without extra teacher input. This has proven a helpful tool for many pupils who lack confidence in maths and numeracy.

This play script has been written based on the F. L Baum story of The Wonderful Wizard of OZ. This is suitable to be performed in upper stages of primary/early secondary. I have adapted the script to make the performance approximately 1 hour 15 mins if you include songs at the suggested points in the song. I have also included a list of characters required, costume plot and song plot. Due to the licensing surrounding the film and music from it, it is suggested you select other appropriate songs to suit the storyline. This is a super choice for a school drama group or club to perform as a school show. It’s well known and popular with audiences and performers alike and this version gives the school a lot more autonomy over the musical elements or can be used as a play only. There are lots of large and small speaking roles and singing can be chosen to suit. This particular script is © to PMarshall at SoundsDramatic. All Rights Reserved. Purchase of this script gives usage to perform once within your school, but may not be shared or passed on outwith. For repeated performances, please purchase the school licence.

This booklet is designed to give pupils an easily stored reminder of a range of grammatical terms, literary tools and punctuation information. This can be used alongside independent writing tasks, grammar tasks or simply as a revision booklet to go through from time to time. My pupils have found this incredibly helpful as they often have struggled to remember all the different concepts they have been learning about and now can just refer to this. Repeated exposure is increasing their recall of the information learned. This is more suitable for upper stages of Primary/Early Secondary level.

This resource is a script with directions, an information letter for parents as well as a powerpoint for a class to put on a super assembly based on the common world religions festivals and celebrations. It covers Eid, Diwali, Hanukkah and Christmas. If you have a range of religions represented in your school, that is ideal, however, it would also be appropriate for smaller schools who perhaps have less diversity, as the script is easily adaptable. This is well received by parents, pupils and the school community as it is a super way to celebrate several religious festivals at once. This could be done at this time of year as a stand alone assembly, or can be undertaken at the end of the accompanying RME planner on World Religions which in turn goes with the Solar System topic planner. I have also uploaded song words and backing tracks to support this assembly - all of these other resources will be available as a bundle.

This resource has been developed as part of a mini drama study based on Friendship. This covers minimum two separate sessions with links to literacy, music as well as Health and Wellbeing.

All materials are subject to copyright and may only be used by the school/teacher purchasing. No time or number of uses restrictions once purchased.

This activity book has been designed for KS1/First level pupils to go alongside reading the abridged or child friendly version of the story. With my own class this was also used in conjunction with putting on a short play of the story. For younger/less able pupils, the booklet can be worked through together as a class, with support given for follow up work or done independently with more able or older pupils, following each teaching and discussion or reading session. Contents include: Scrooge Character Description Comparison of Present and Past Design a Christmas Card from Scrooge Write a new Christmas Carol/Song and more
