As a member of SLT, I have created this glossary of progressive terminology/ extended vocabulary list along with the History lead to ensure that the children in my school have a broad range of vocabulary that could be used across the curriculum. Some vocabulary is cross-curricular and will support teaching alongside the new OFSTED framework. I began with KS1 and, based on National Curriculum progression documents, I compiled a list of vocabulary that the children should see, hear and be encouraged to use. I have added new vocabulary to deepen the children’s understanding and broaden their vocabulary in each year group. This can be seen in green. The vocabulary in purple is repeated from the previous key stage.
This list can be used by:
Subject Leaders as part of progression documents and curriculum for the school.
Teachers as a planning scaffold and an assessment tool to ensure children have a broad art curriculum.
Teachers to deepen their subject knowledge.
Teachers and subject leaders to promote high standards in vocabulary across the curriculum.
To ensure Art is linked to English and reading where possible.
Pupils may find this resource useful as a check list in their sketchbooks at the beginning of each topic.
My school have used this grid this year and we have noticed a great improvement in the children’s understanding of art vocabulary in their speech and through their writing in English.
Editable learning mat on the topic of the sinking of the Titanic based around our Topic The Titanic: Who was to blame. Knowledge organiser designed to scaffold learning and provide new vocabulary to your Titanic topic. A knowledge organiser is a set of key facts or information that pupils need to know and be able to recall in order to master a unit or topic. Provide the children with the knowledge organiser at the beginning of a topic or us it as a checklist of coverage. This resource is suitable for Key Stage Two.
This resources includes:
Map
Vocabulary list

A list of people who potentially could have directly caused or failed to prevent the incident.

As Art Subject Lead I created this glossary of art terminology/ extended vocabulary list to ensure that the children in my school had a broad range of vocabulary that could be used across the curriculum.

I have created a series of lessons has been designed to increase your pupils’ word processing skills. The can be used during registration time or as stand alone lessons. One major barrier to learning I encountered when asking children to use Microsoft Word was their lack of experience using Word’s basic functions. I have broken the key elements I believe primary school children should understand down into 6 separate child-led lessons.
I recommend that you first model the activities to the class and then let the children explore.

I have compiled the list of National Curriculum Spellings for Years 5 and 6 and created a bank of short spelling sessions. This resource is designed to encourage children to understand the origin of spellings and help create meaning for spelling sessions.
**Included **
• Each spelling has at least two slides/pages
• I have defined meaning.
• Explored and used the etymology
• Fun facts of spelling to make the words more memorable.
• Most spellings are accompanied by a short task.
This is Term 1
I have broken them down into terms which should ensure that the word list is covered over the year. The resource is alphabetical and covers spellings A-C. I have created this resource in PDF and Activ Inspire Format.

As an experienced teaching SENCo I found that staff would rely heavily on my expertise before identifying the children’s need or supporting them in the classroom first.
This took up a lot of my time so I created a 7 step referral process for staff to reevaluate how they approached seeking support for those pupils with SEN.
Step 1: Initial Observation forms for staff to complete independently
Step 2: Referral to SENCo form for staff to show observations and note concerns
Step 3: SENCo 5 minute observation Form
Step 4: Observation Follow Up meeting
Step 5: Evaluating need. This is an excel sheet with lots of external links to free programmes and resources that can be used as internal support an intervention when external referrals are not necessary
Step 6: Graduated Approach and SEN Review Form
Step 7: Gathering Evidence for external referrals
Step7a: Parental View form
