All children can have the same card. Words include right/left/clockwise/anti-clockwise/N/E/S/W etc with a little arrow or symbol next to each. Highlight or circle 4/5 words.

This Smartboard was designed for the whole junior school to use as the end of term writing assessment. You will need to colour photocopy different STORY scenes and I have included the list of picture books I took mine from in the SB. This was a chance for the children to show off their writing.

The children have a chart with pictures of 3D shapes on and they have to write how many faces, vertices (remember this as the points and there is a point in the letter v) and edges the shapes have.

These lessons explore the question ‘If everyone followed the Middle Way, would there be a perfect world?’ The children do not have to know anything about Buddhism. The lessons explore the meaning of this question and look at what The middle Way means and at the Eightfold Path. Children gain a good understanding of this and also reflect on their own ideas of what a perfect world would be. This leads to a debate about the question which can be recorded as evidence.

You will need a Smartboard. Follow the slides to create a factory poem based on pictures and photographs focusing on the outside features of the factory. The slides take you though how to teach it. Create 5 or more lines following a structure e.g. The + adjective + noun + verb e.g. 'The callous chimney smoked..&' Then complete the line with a simile (like or as) or something else. This encourages them to use alliteration and personification. Use the useful adjectives sheet to extend their vocabulary. Please leave feedback!

They need to understand the plot of the play.Teacher can hot seat as Malvolio. Use his 'thoughts&' below to help you answer as though you are him. Ask the children to draw him, use the pictures of Malvolio to help them, and write thought bubbles of what he is thinking.Give the vocabulary list (words that you have used) so they can magpie these and reward them if they include a certain number in their writing.
