This is a guide of how to Analyse a piece of music in depth using the Musical Elements. It sets out a list of things to listen for/ a series of questions pupils can ask themselves as they listen to something they want to analyse. Terminology may differ across countries - this particular resource was created in Australia. Feel free to alter terminology where necessary. This resource has been particularly useful for training pupils to listen during unstudied works, but can be used for works they have to study for GCSE and A levels as a training exercise for exams etc.

This resource gives all the basic resources for a project on sustainability. There is a letter inviting students to design a new school that your headteacher wants to build. There is a list of sustainable elements with prices that your students can use to design the school sustainably. There is also a criteria sheet (which was co-created by students) that they can self and peer assess as they go, and you as the teacher can use as well if you desire. This is a great fun way to assess your students understanding of sustainable design practises.

For extension you could ask pupils to find the 'vital statistics' of each musical as they go -ie. date of premiere, stars performing in it, where it has been performed. Answer sheet is on the second page. Happy searching!

This lesson is created as a Flipchart for use with Active Inspire software. It works with older versions of Active Inspire. This flipchart is one that I have used with bi-lingual children to discuss tense, and assess their abilities to change tense in speaking and writing, as well as noticing grammar and punctuation issues. It could work well in any classroom if you are putting a focus on tense and error correcting.

This lesson is written in a flipchart created for use with Active Inspire programming. This is a lesson that I used to teach the children in my class about algorithms and programs in computing. It is an unplugged lesson, no computers required! It explains how coding works in a child friendly way. I used it with Year 4 at the beginning of our coding topic.

I created this Minions warning chart for my class this year. I printed this in landscape A3 and then printed and laminated little tags with the children's names on - but you could use pegs, or sticky labels as well. This works really well as my children love Minions and we always have a discussion about how some people are heading towards the 'purple' minions. I have used quite strong wording on this chart, as my class can be quite challenging, but you can alter this to use your own, or your schools' preferred language if you like.

New! Flipchart has been replaced by a PPTX. This is a lesson I have used with children who did not work well together in groups. There is discussion about what it means to be a team, they have to define what groupwork is, and there is an exercise which will make a great display (a good reminder if it is placed in the classroom). This could be used if group work behaviour is slipping, or at the beginning of the year to re-enforce the idea of working in teams/groups.

This is a lesson Flipchart. The Flipchart was made for Active Inspire boards. This lesson was used with a higher level Year 4 class - real world maths!

This was great fun, and really tested some of their skills.
