This is a ppt presentation I have adapted from 2 different free resources downloaded from TES so as to be suitable for primary school aged children. Although not strictly in the National Curriculum at this level, I used it as part of a couple of lessons supporting the LO: Identify how the habitat changes throughout the year, in year 4, as once we had had the initial practice drawing scientific diagrams in the classroom, I could take them into their local habitat, and they could use this skill amongst others, such as identifying creatures/plants in their habitats and photo records etc. I used this in class with a number of objects, such as beautiful feathers, pine cones, geodes, a live spider, and some preserved insects in perspex. Some of the children drew an artistic sketch alongside it in their artists sketchbooks, in 2B pencil to compare how they are similar and different.

Christmas Fun: A version of the 12 Days of Christmas song to revise animals, colours and numbers (ordinal and cardinal) in French.

This is a twist on a getting-to know-you exercise to do, perhaps, with a new class, on a transition, or when starting German after a break, if the teaching is staggered. The printout (print directly from ppt slides) is designed to look like a Facebook page, entitled Deutschbook. This resource aims to engage older learners of German to revisit the basics in a manner that doesn’t feel babyish or repetitive. If you like this resource, I would be grateful if you could leave a review.

A ppt presentation that I have used to support a Tudor themed day as part of a fabulous finish to a learning journey. It could equally be adapted for a PSHE style lesson on recognising strengths and sense of identity, or an ice breaker activity for a new class. Includes printout of heraldic shield.

I put this together having searched the net and drawn a blank. There are lots and lots of good spy packs for a spy theme on the net. I am theming one of the school’s lock down weeks on the subject of spies, and there is heaps to keep us going (code making, invisible ink writing, time capsule, wax resist painting, to name a few) This worksheet is to print to allow children to create their own spy cover stories, or aliases - I will then ask them to write a diary entry in role to get into character - in the pm we will create the time capsules to preserve our real identities and bury, and at the end of this day, will play the Yes/No game in role as our aliases! Hopefully a lot of fun to be had in tough times. Anyway, in the hope that this saves a few other people time … could easily be used in any literacy lesson when developing a character outside of a spy context. (Just remove the top secret stamp)
