ESL Pirate Alphabet - Perfect for talk like a pirate day + Pirate Writing Prompts+ 31 Teaching Tasks

(0)
I was trying to develop some ideas about how to present "Talk Iike a Pirate Day" to my lower ESL classes - those learning English or needing more support. I came across a video using the alphabet to teach about pirates using simple English and my Talk Like A Pirate resource, Pirate Alphabet, was developed. I hope you like it. The big idea is to print out the pages, and make them into fun flash cards. I have included a presentation explaining the 31 different ways you can use these flashcards in the classroom to help your children expand their vocabulary and improve their memory skills. In addition, I have added some creative writing prompts for a fun set of English lessons. You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different objects being shown in each of the photos. You could print off and laminate the images to make an interesting, eye-catching Pirate Alphabet display. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different pirate related objects. The students can then discuss if they can think of other pirate related objects starting with this lesson. The images could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.

Lots of different Year 6 (KS2) revision tests. What makes these teaching resources special? I have combined the different official documents, so you have the questions and answers all in one place. You can choose if you have the questions followed by the answers or if you prefer all the questions together, followed by all the answers together. This means it is much more flexible in the classroom as you can set a question, then review the question as a class or you can work your way through a whole test paper at once!

KS2 Guided Reading Worksheets, Cut Out Thinking Hats And Thinking Hats In Reading Display

(0)
Thinking Hats can be found in schools, businesses and a wide range of industries. I have created a set of resources for Key Stage 2 resources to use with almost any reading book. The worksheets are not linked to any book or any particular reading scheme and can be used more than once. These worksheets allow students to examine the same book from 6 different angles and so get a lot more from their reading experiences. These worksheets also provide a real reason to read their books carefully. I have used Thinking Hats a lot in the classroom and have found them to really motivate students to read more. These worksheets can also be used as a useful homework worksheet resource.

September 4 Science Pack - Skeletons, Teeth and Senses PowerPoint and Display Material

(0)
I have created 4 great teaching packs for Science: Animal Skeleton Bones, Human Skeleton Bones, Teeth and Your Senses. You can download these packs, print them off and have an instant wonderful display. Alternatively, you would use them as PowerPoint presentations within a lesson to introduce or review a topic. They make excellent talking prompts for the class! Animal Skeletons: See different examples of animal bones. How are they similar? How do they differ from each other? There are bones of fish, whales, snake and cows, to mention just a few. Human Skeletons: Here is a nice resource pack which contains a lot of the different bones students need to learn about. The photos are fantastic. Teeth: This includes what we need to have nice teeth and a few photos of what happens if we are not careful with our teeth. There are also some animal pictures so you can discuss animal teeth shapes. Senses: A nice teaching pack about our 5 senses. This would make an excellent display or sorting activity.

I collected together 30 hours of ESL teaching resources about the topic of health, medicine and illness. It is a really great way of teaching! The original was a free public domain document. I took this document, removed all the promotional hyperlinks and logos from every page, as well as adding colourful, interesting images to each page to give it all a more professional image. The idea is to get students talking more in their English classes.

101 KS1 English Grammar SAT Revision Worksheets Book 2 + Answers

(0)
Like the first version of 101 KS1 English Grammar SAT Revision Worksheets (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/101-ks1-grammar-sats-revision-worksheets-11189210), it is packed with 101 printable worksheets for teaching and improving grammar skills in English. The topics are wide and varied, starting with Essential English worksheets that cover the basics, like the alphabet, days, months, and telling the time; then tenses (a lot about tenses!), then irregular verbs, question forms, word order in sentences, parts of English, uncountable nouns, and so on! If you have used the first BGB, you will know what to expect from this one. Around 25% of the worksheets in this book are closely modelled on activities in BGB 1, for example Full Stops 1 (pp.68-69). The material starts off at beginner level, with the alphabet worksheets, then gets progressively more difficult. Only towards the end do things get “tougher”, with articles, conditionals, and phrasal verbs making their inevitable appearance! Don’t worry – all the answers and notes for use are included at the back of this book. English teachers can use Another 101 KS1 English Grammar SAT Revision Worksheets in class, although it may be better to use the worksheets for homework and let students focus on speaking and listening and group work – producing language – in class. It is ideal for private study – i.e. homework or self-study – and also for use in online lessons. Teachers can adapt the worksheets in this book, and I would positively encourage them to treat many of the pages as templates for producing their own activities. For example, the sentence building worksheets (from p.60) would be ideal for adaptation, among many others. I hope you enjoy learning English with Another 101 KS1 English Grammar SAT Revision Worksheets! Remember, a good understanding of English grammar will open doors of opportunity. Please note: This was originally marketed under the title Big Grammar Book 2. If you have bought this title, you do not need to buy this book.

This is a a huge online reading bundle of resources. There is plenty to do in this amazing set of resources. I have further edited Levels 1 to levels 4 so there are now reading questions relating to every slide. I have mixed up all the original Thinking Hat colours and done away with black and white as I had teachers who felt these were not appropriate in a primary classroom and relaunched it all as Thinking Scarves - I hope you like the changes and leave me a nice comment below! I believe I have created the ultimate guided reading and poetry teaching resource for teachers. Along with a complete KS1 and KS2 Thinking Hats Reading teaching resource, this pack also includes 189 general reading worksheets and 36 levelled guided reading books. I also took the time to convert all the books into .ppt (old version of PowerPoint) so that as well as printing out the books, you can now show all the books directly on the interactive whiteboard, to build up whole class reading skills. The books vary from level 1 (beginner readers) to level 5 (teenager and adult readers). The worksheets can be used for pretty much any book, so even when you have finished reading these great books, the reading worksheets will still be useful for many years to come! The 189 reading worksheets are differentiated and some a replicated between different year groups. I am confident you will be pleased with this purchase. It would also be great for any World Book Day ideas or teaching resources. It could also be used for national poetry day or book week. If you would like to see more of my teaching resources, please visit http://drfog.co.uk/ If you like the resources, then please leave me a nice comment as this means a lot to me!

You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different activities being shown in each of the photos. I have added a writing task about the different ways people can keep healthy. You could focus on how does keeping healthy in general, mean you have a healthy, longer lasting heart in particular? I also wrote a presentation about the 31 different ways you could use these photo flashcard resources in your classroom. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about World Heart Day. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different healthy activities. The students can then discuss what they think about each activity and why it is good for the heart. The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.
