I created this plan and PPT for a job interview where I was asked to teach a year 5/6 class. I based the lesson on their two main topics which were Space and Poetry. I used the fantastic poem 'Six Ways to Look at the Moon' by Pie Corbett in this lesson - included. I also used another fab poem - included. Task was for the children to write their own version of Pie Corbett's poem. PPT easy to follow along while teaching. The 'Six-ways-to-look-at-ordering-a-poem' resource was used as an activity where I cut up the sentences and worked with a focus group to read, re-order the poem - this was great for discussion and for thinking about structure/ language in poem, etc.

Some questions I have created which cover the different assessment focus points for reading (these are labelled next to each question). There are about 5-6 questions for each chapter. In my class, the children answer these during their Guided Reading sessions the day after reading each chapter. There is some vocabulary included to be discussed and I have also added some QR codes linking to websites where the children can learn about Red Indians like Little Bull.

Here are some different resources and activities that I used with my Year 5 class when starting some new learning about play scripts: - A powerpoint presentation with images, for whole class learning about key words. - Flash cards which could be printed back to back, or separately to play a memory game with (all cards turned down, have to match word with definition), or for a display - QR codes which I put on display for children to search up on ipads and find out more independently - A glossary which could be printed for tables -Worksheets to match definitions with their meanings These activity ideas were recommended to me by our speech and language therapist and they worked really well with supporting the LA children who particularly struggle with understanding new vocabulary.

A set of reading comprehension questions for each chapter. There are between 5-7 questions for each chapter and each question is clearly labelled with its assessment focus point (mostly AF2 and some AF3). Great for guided reading sessions.

I created these differentiated (mid, low, high) activity booklets for a year 2 class for World Book Day. Includes wordsearch, colouring in, describing the pictures using adjectives, etc. Some fun activities which were great for the children to complete throughout the day.

A set of comprehension questions and challenges I created for my Year 4 class, for each chapter in the book 'You're a Bad Man Mr Gum' by Andy Stanton. AF points are also included next to each question.

I have a very low reader in my class. I like him to work independently to increase his confidence, also for times when there is no TA available these activities are very useful. The idea in each one is he reads the words with the pictures, then he cuts out all the cards then mixes them all up and has to read again and match. He sticks them together in his book so I can check afterwards whether he has read successfully. There are 7 pages here, some HFW for him to read and match to pictures, some numbers to match, some animals, colours, etc.
