A way to instantly have a meaningful and challenging classroom activity set up for your class to do.
16 Literacy activity slides
12 Maths and Numeracy activity slides

Many of these also have a range of activity ideas within each slide, meaning that you are getting upwards of 60 different lesson and activity ideas, covering a range of learning and teaching areas and skill sets.
The front page of the powerpoint is a contents page that has links to each individual activity page – and each activity page will take you back to the contents page.
Many of these activity ideas can be used more than once and with a variety of different topics.
This version is aimed at Second Level/KS2 pupils.
I am currently working on developing one for younger pupils as well.
Many graphics used are from
This powerpoint is fully editable allowing for you to display a visual timetable each day in class using your IWB or if none available, the original slide could be printed and laminated along with each of the activity cards.
Open up the PP and you can edit the date and drag the activity cards into the appropriate part of the page, then display to the pupils using the view slideshow option.
This is a bright, colourful and useful way to discuss the day ahead with your class.
These are classroom friendly templates for developing SWOT analysis with pupils and setting Smart Goals.
These could be used on a regular basis for tracking and assessing pupils progress as well as encouraging self evaluation and taking ownership over their learning.

The letter template is in a word format to allow for changing from a Scottish Government contact to Westminster cabinet.
If you require any of the other documents in word, please contact me.

These templates are ready made for a busy teacher to be able to keep up to date records of assessment within the class.
With a separate page for each curricular area, columns for E/Os and skills assessed, type of assessment carried out and date of assessment, this is a practical and comprehensive way to keep track of pupil learning and development. Whilst this has been designed initially with the Curriculum for Excellence in mind, it is easily adaptable to any curriculum.
There is both a PDF and word version available as this can be either kept as an online working document on word, or used as a write upon document in a file in class.
These three activities and worksheets are a great way to start back with your class in the new term. Suitable for KS2/Second Level, with some elements being suitable for younger pupils with support.
Activities:
New Year Story starter/assessment - this story starter covers elements of VCOP and imaginative writing, giving pupils a chance to write in a genre of their choice, based on New Year's Eve.
Highlights of 2016 - a worksheet set out like a poster of polaroid photos, pupils can draw four of their favourite moments of the past year and caption them. This has been created for A3 size.
New Year Learning and Personal Resolutions - pupils can set both learning and personal targets and resolutions for the coming year, with space for them to detail why they have chosen this resolution and how they intend to achieve it.
All worksheets are on PDF.
This bundle is full of must have resources for EYFS/Early Level teachers of Reception, Infant/Primary One classes. This would be especially useful for anyone starting out their teaching career or moving stages.
It includes topic planners, games, activity and worksheet packs, flash cards and displays with the main focus on literacy and phonics. There are some maths worksheets and the planners cover the topics 'Under the Sea' and 'Barnaby Bear'. The total cost of purchasing all of these super, time saving resources would usually be £27.00, so grab this bargain while you can! This is a limited time offer.
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.
This bundle includes a script and powerpoint for a class assembly on festivals and celebrations of some of the main world religions, backing tracks and song words and RME topic planner which can be used in conjunction with assembly and a topic on Solar System.
The mp3 files and words accompany the assembly pack on for sale.
This will be included as part of a bundle for sale. However, the Christmas songs and backing tracks could be useful on their own!
If you would like any other backing tracks or song words for Christmas based songs, please let me know.
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 bundle consists of guidelines, lesson plans, activities and resource suggestions based around themes on Toys, Anger Management and Friendship.
Each theme is designed to be done over two sessions and links to Expressive Arts, Literacy and English as well as HWB.
Each individual set has been priced at £4 - £5 but for a limited time you can purchase all three for the great price of £8.00.
This booklet is designed to be used during the busy December month, when often it is difficult to keep the pupils engaged and still learning!

The booklet has the following worksheets and tasks:
Design a new toy
Design a new suit for Santa
Help the Elves task
Design a Sleigh
Christmas Alphabetical Ordering
Christmas Wordsearch and Cloze Passage
Christmas Party Budget: Money and Problem Solving activity
This is designed for KS2/Scottish Second Level pupils, although it could be adapted/differentiated for lower stages and levels.
This resource can be used for both at school with an infant class/nursery, or at home for your own young children. I made these resources up for my own child and subsequently used in my P1 classroom where it went down a treat.
The door can be printed and laminated and then easily attached to a wall - I used A5 size last year, but A4 also works well on a bigger expanse of wall.
The letter and behaviour chart are editable to suit for name/class etc. I laminated the chart as well and in class it was smiley faces and at home I used stickers.
You can get little elf dolls online extremely cheaply, without having to pay too much for the 'official' merchandise.
