A qualified Primary Teacher and drama and music specialist, I have worked both as a class teacher and in partnership with organisations including Young Enterprise, as well as several youth theatre groups and programmes. My shop provides a range of resources including original scripts, workshop plans, cross curricular topic planners with accompanying resources, planning and assessment pro formas and worksheets.
This cross curricular topic planner details the curricular outcomes (ACfE) being targeted as well as lesson ideas and suggestions for each relevant curricular area. This planner is aimed at 2nd Level/KS2 pupils. It also links to the separate topic of Endangered Species (also available via my shop) and ties the two in together. There are accompanying worksheets on for sale separately to go alongside both topics also. These will all be on sale soon as a bundle. However, both topics would be appropriate as stand alone if desired.
These four activity/worksheets are designed to go alongside the topic planner on Endangered species.
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.

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.
Comprehensive mind map style topic plan on the topic ‘Where in the World is Barnaby Bear’ for forward planning. This covers early level/eyfs outcomes and has information on experiences and outcomes as well as curricular areas and lesson ideas. The bundle also includes a range of accompanying resources and worksheets. This would be a good starter pack for beginning the topic.
• Information sheet for parents
• Barnaby Bear’s Diary
• We are Learning about another Country worksheets
• Barnaby’s Camera pictures
• Barnaby’s suitcase
• Topic Jotter Cover sheets
• Wall display posters and information (All fully editable on Word documents).
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 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.
