This is a power point presentation with an attached worksheet. I created it for a couple of reasons: The first being that going through all the information would reinforce learning and also to fill in any gaps in understanding. The second was to allow everyone to have a good set of notes to use as a revision aid, hence the worksheet. My intention was to fly through the presentation, adding contextual information and answering any questions that are raised. This worked well as it limited opportunities for students to fall behind as it was such a fast pace, you couldn't afford to have a chat or day-dream. The presentation is littered with questions for students to answer periodically in order to express their understanding. This whole revision unit can take anywhere between 1 hour and 3 hours to complete. Elements can be given as homework if required with the power point made available to students. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated whether positive or negative.

Fun Easter Quiz with three rounds including the Easter Story.

(0)
This is a quiz to be used for fun at Easter. There are three rounds, each with 10 questions. The first round is Eggs, the second is Easter around the World and the third is The Easter Story. I've tried to make it applicable to all by making the quiz fun and informative rather than pursuing a religious ideal, however I did think it important that we look at why Easter is such an important religious festival whether we celebrate it in that way or not. The answer to each question is revealed before moving on to the next question, therefore I would suggest that answers are written on a whiteboard and points allocated accordingly before moving on to the next question. Each question has some supporting information to either explain the answer or to give some further contextual information. The last page has a question that encourages debate, it's not part of the quiz but can fill in some time should it be required. It's entirely at your own discretion. All feedback, positive or negative is gratefully received.

The presentation is littered with questions for students to answer periodically in order to express their understanding. All questions refer to the pre-release of the AQA exam in 2014 where a local PE teacher was trying to encourage students to take up netball. She was also a player at the local netball club, Westshore. With a little explanation this shouldn't be a problem. This whole revision unit can take anywhere between 1 hour and 3 hours to complete. Elements can be given as homework if required with the power point made available to students. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated whether positive or negative.

This is a series of four worksheets that guide a student through the creation of a character, description, planning and eventually crafting a fairy tale. I would suggest that this is ideal for KS2-KS3 and for low ability students in KS4. Each sheet has tasks to complete with opportunities provided for peer review and teachers feedback. As stated, this can be used immediately as it is self-explanatory, engaging and fun. Students are encouraged to draw a scene from a fairy tale on the first sheet, so drawing equipment should be available. Other than this, all that is required is a pen and a modicum of creativity. I've attached two versions that are identical with the exception that one is saved on publisher and the other is a pdf. You can use this resource over a series of lessons and as part of a whole unit on fairy tales. It has been suggested that a unit could start with some drama, re-enacting fairy tales, creating new ones and use this as the foundation for the work contained herein. Any feedback, good or bad is gratefully received.

GCSE PE Components of fitness differentiated lesson, ready for immediate use following printing.

GCSE PE Components of fitness differentiated lesson, ready for immediate use following printing.

(0)
This is a lesson that I did with GCSE PE students in year 9 for a job interview. It was very well received and enabled me to get to the interview stage. Unfortunately, I blew the interview! This lesson is differentiated with students expected to share the information they have so that everyone has the same outcomes. The lesson starts with a "Do Now," task looking at five females and pondering which one is fittest. Obviously it depends on the context, following the lesson they should realise that it depends on which component we are using to decide. This is something to be returned to at the end of the lesson. The powerpoint takes us through the components of fitness and any gaps in knowledge are expected to be discussed and notes made on the worksheet. You'll notice that each sheet has different photographs on it. This is to broaden the horizons of our students so that when they think of an event that requires C/V endurance they have a number of examples. As students work through the powerpoint, completing their worksheet, they will eventually reach the questions in the middle of the sheet. Each sheet has a different set of questions with the first being an easy question, the second, more challenging and the third is the most difficult. Students are encouraged to discuss their questions with their peers, this way, they can't copy answers from others but actually end up answering more questions as they assist one another. We return to the "Do Now." Have opinions changed based upon our new knowledge? It is then revealed that they are all international level athletes in the following sports: 1. High jump. 2. Weight Lifting 3. Rhythmic Gymnastics 4. Marathon 5. Heptathlon Each one of them is very fit depending on which fitness component we are looking at. Students are then given a post-it note on which they must write down their name and which component would be most important for each athlete on the board. Any feedback, positive or negative is greatly appreciated. Should I have a specific, mixed ability class I would consider moving some of the questions around so that students get a sheet specific to their ability.

This quiz has very little educational merit whatsoever. It's based on ridiculous things from around the world and is split into 5 rounds of 10 questions each: Round 1 : Ridiculous Superheroes, multiple choice Round 2: Ridiculous names, True or False Round 3: Ridiculous statues, Q&A Round 3: Ridiculous inventions, Q&A Round 5: Ridiculous World Records, Q&A You could run the quiz over a period of time doing a round at a time or as one whole quiz. Answers are revealed immediately so if keeping score that will need to be done after every answer. All feedback, positive or developmental is greatly appreciated.

Euro 2016 Game Show! Ideal for a fun lesson or form time. Ready to use power point!

(0)
These are two game show power-points with 25 questions each on various topics and each worth different points. Students decide which topic and what points value question they wish to go for. Use the arrows to navigate and reveal the answers. The topics are as follows: Board 1: Capitals Top Scorers Trivia Captains Badges Board 2: Twitter Host Cities Famous French Trivia French Phrases The higher the points value, the harder the question so they should be challenging to all. Some of the topics, although related to football and the Euros, require no football knowledge at all making them accessible to all and not just the fanatics looking forward to the tournament. All you (or your representative) need to do is keep score. I would consider having teams who nominate an answer before the reveal. Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.

Ready to use, Premier League Quiz with predictions worksheet and team selector. Ready for 2016/17.

This is an ideal activity for form time or even as a lesson starter to come back to over the year with difficult (boys) groups. The Premier League Quiz has approx 50 questions and match-up activities all in rounds of 10 marks to help you keep tabs on scores. You could even do the quiz over a number of days/weeks as there are 6 separate rounds on topics like 'Last Season', and 'Premier league Legends.' All the question slides are visually stimulating with either photographs or information boxes to add context and interest. As an ongoing activity I have included a Premier League prediction sheet that, in conjunction with the powerpoint presentation will allow students to predict what happens in the next season. These sheets can be re-visited periodically to see how accurate they were. A prize could even be awarded for the most accurate. There is also a number of team selector sheets where students can create their own Premier League team. I have included three different formations and left one blank in case they want to create their own formation. Any and all feedback gratefully received. Any questions, please let me know.

New Year resource, ideal for form time. Self review of 2016 and goal-setting for 2017.

(0)
Power point guides students through reviewing the previous year. Students complete 1 of 3 worksheets that asks different questions about the past year (example: Who were your best friends? What could you have done better?) Because there are 3 different sheets, students won't simply copy their neighbour's information. Following that activity, students move on to looking forward to 2017 and creating resolutions in four fields: School, Home, Health and Happiness. They are requested to come up with specific steps to enable them to better achieve their resolutions. There is a sheet for them to complete accordingly. Finally, we try and emulate this process but with school targets. It would be ideal if these were available but, if not, it could be set as a homework or an extension task to complete. Again, there is a sheet for students to complete if required. The idea for this was to review the resolutions at regular periods but it would also be nice to keep them all in a folder to get out at this time next year, becoming an ongoing activity and a nice keepsake for students. Many thanks. Any feedback, good or bad is gratefully received.
