This resource is for display. It contains 16 different questions to encourage depth within maths questioning. I have it on display at the back of my classroom to help with planning and modelling during teaching time. I have also added eight different responses that children could use to explain their understanding. I hope that you find it useful :)

This resource contains planning, slides and activities for teaching and practising homophones ending in -e and -se. I have taken the spellings from the NC and have tried to incorporate a range of activities so that it is more interesting for the children.

This resource contains planning, a notebook with activities and LOs clearly displayed, and display materials to support the teaching of Philip Pullman’s ‘The Firework Maker’s Daughter’. I have used this resource to teach the text for whole-class guided reading sessions but it could also be used to support literacy planning. I have previously used this planning with a Y5 class but it could also be suitable for a Y4 or Y6 class.

This resource contains 6 weeks worth of planning, slides and resources about the topic of forensic science. The Unit of Work teaches the children about fingerprinting and how to take a fingerprint, how to compare foot size and height (investigation), an art based lesson on sketching a shoe print, a lesson about DNA and an investigation to compare black inks using chromatography.

This resource would be useful for anyone wanting to introduce children to Wassily Kandinsky with the aim of them creating their own Kandinsky-style painting. I have attached the medium term plan, the slides and resources for a 5 week topic of work. The lessons show the children how to use different painting techniques, how to blend colours and how to create an interesting composition using 2D shapes.

This resource contains a half-term block of space themed topic activities. I have included activities about the phases of the moon, the planets in our solar system, a couple of writing activities and some practical activities, including a maths link (baking). I hope you find it useful!

I have created a set of editing stations for KS2. Each document can be printed, trimmed and folded to fit inside the IKEA Tolsby frames. I have used the editing stations for editing and improving lessons with Y5. I choose the appropriate editing stations and put one on each table, giving the children a set time to make those changes. Then, the stations are moved around so the children can focus on editing and improving by adding something else specific (i.e. adding relative clauses).

Quiz quiz trade cards which can be used to support children's understanding of grammar. The cards cover different areas of grammar and can be used for a starter activity in literacy, GPS (SPaG) lesson activity or for revision. They are to be printed double sided so that the answer is on the back.

This four day unit of work focuses on using and identifying the simple tense (past, present and future), the progressive tense (past and present) and the perfect tense (past and present). I have created four lessons, each with an activity, to teach children to recognise a tense by identifying the verb. The fourth and final lesson is a mini quiz, in which I have created SATs style questions to help children be exposed to different types of question. The weekly structure is as follows: Lesson 1: simple tense Lesson 2: progressive tense Lesson 3: perfect tense Lesson 4: mini SATs style assessment I hope that you find this useful :)

I created this resource to use as a spaced retrieval activity with my Y6 class. This resource contains six weeks worth of flashbacks (5 grammar and punctuation questions per day). Each question style has been taken from the Y6 SATs papers but has been written by myself.

This resource contains a series of six lessons. I have attached planning, slides and resources to enable children to develop painting and pastel skills, whilst also understanding the sketching techniques of perspective and using a vanishing point. The final product is for each child to sketch a section of a Pompeii scene, add colour using pastels or paints and then for them all to be put together into one large image. I taught this topic to Y5 as part of our geography topic ‘Violent Volcanoes’.

This resource contains all planning, slides and resources for a two week block of teaching non-chronological reports to Y5 children. It could easily be adapted for Y4 and Y6. I have based the lessons on creating a brand new Pokemon, which the children in my class absolutely loved! I hope that you find it useful!

This resource contains planning for the entire text of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The planning includes learning objectives, key questions and activities to extend understanding of the book. I have also attached the display resources that I have used to support the text and the slides, which contain the tasks and LOs for the children to see. I hope that you find this resource useful! My previous classes have thoroughly enjoyed reading Harry Potter, so I hope yours do too!

This resource contains planning, slides and resources for 17 lessons (one lesson per chapter of the text). I have attached a SMART Notebook file, which shows the new vocabulary to be discussed in each lesson, the key questions and the activities. I have also attached a sheet with the questions and answers on for each lesson (answers are to enable peer marking where possible). For each lesson there is also a reformatted sheet for VI children. I hope that you find this planning useful as I have! I used it to support a three week literacy block and my class loved it (Y5). Thanks :)

This resource contains display resources for grammar and punctuation. Each document contains a title, an explanation of what the grammatical term is and examples of the grammar/punctuation in sentences. I use this resource to support my GPS lessons and literacy lessons in class. I have a GPS display, upon which this resource is displayed and changed on a regular basis. I hope that you find this resource useful!

This resource can be used to practise and consolidate the common exception words for Y2 (NC). There are five spellings per slide. I usually do this type of task during registration and have found that consistent practise really helps the children at my school.

A series of whole-class guided reading lessons, based on Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl, which focus on using PEE paragraphs to generate more in-depth answers.

These resources have been so useful for me over the past three years! Hint: Make sure you print the document double sided so that when the cards are cut out the question is on one side and the answer is on the other. I have used these quiz quiz trade cards to help my class learn their times tables. We use the activity as a starter for a maths lesson, a filler activity or a revision task before times tables tests. Quiz quiz trade is a brilliant Kagan strategy, where each child has a card, they find a partner, they quiz each other, swap cards and then find a new partner to quiz. It gets all children engaged and participating and my classes have all enjoyed it! I have made each set of cards a different colour so that they can be easily recognised when you are desperately trying to find the 6x table etc. I really hope that these resources help as they have been so useful for me!

This resource contains four lessons, which focus on identifying nouns, creating expanded noun phrase and modifying noun phrases. To complete the week, I have created a short SATs style assessment (10 questions) for the fourth lesson. Lesson 1: identifying common, proper, abstract and collective nouns. Lesson 2: exploring and creating expanded noun phrases. Lesson 3: applying knowledge of expanded noun phrases. Lesson 4: 10 question assessment.

This resource contains four lessons, which focus on identifying nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. I have created the lessons to teach the skills of modifying words (i.e. changing a adjective into an adverb) as well as recognising what word class a word is, depending on the context of the sentence. I have created an interactive SMART Notebook, activities for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and a 15 question mini assessment for Thursday. The assessment is based on SATs questions but all of the questions are my own. Lesson 1: nouns and verbs Lesson 2: adjectives and adverbs Lesson 3: identifying the word class of all four Lesson 4: SATs style mini assessment I hope that you find this useful!

This resource contains a SMART Notebook, three activities and a mini-assessment based on the use of personal, possessive and relative pronouns. I taught this as four lessons within a week following the following structure: Monday - personal pronouns Tuesday - possessive pronouns Wednesday - relative pronouns Thursday - SATs style assessment I hope that you find this resource useful!
