A couple of lessons I made linked to the picture book Journey. Pupils really enjoyed this and I also linked it to the trailer on YouTube.

For one of the first lessons of the year.

Pupils could answer one question/different questions. I usually add the question in their individual box and expand to a3 size for use.

Use to break down tasks and instructions. Can be used by a teaching assistant and laminated for easy use.

Print off and display. To add clips/pegs to track pupil behaviour.

A map for the rules of conversation plus a self assessment sheet.

A lesson for between levels 2 to 5.

A cut and stick exercise to get to know what pupils like and dislike doing in class. Useful when meeting a new class.

A different way to engage pupils for work on autobiographies. Pupils can start with filling in the iPad, which can then lead to further extended writing. Pupils can then make a list with pictures in the bucket, then write about one of these adventures coming true. Then pupils can write an acrostic poem. A few lessons to get to know pupils.

A reading and writing task based on James and the Giant Peach.

Write feedback to your students, allow them to self-assess and respond with their next steps. Works well.

One man band clip, engaging and differentiated resources. Worksheets are on the pp-print as a whole slide.

An engaging activity for reluctant writers.

A revision tool for studying the poems Cousin Kate and Valentine. Useful to stick in pupil books, display on the wall and to use as a lesson resource. My pupils have found this very useful.

Exam questions to answer in mixed ability pairs, as well as think/pair/assess sheet to individually form own ideas beforehand. To be photocopied to A3 size.

A third and final lesson on the poem by Walter de la Mare. This includes pupils using their imagination to write about the Traveller. Pupils also draw the inside of the house.

A follow on lesson from a previous uploaded resource on Walter de la Mare's the Listeners poem. This comes with a longer task for pupils to complete.

A lesson on the Listeners poem. The instructions for the activities I used and the worksheets are all on the PowerPoint slides, with the same PowerPoint to accompany the lesson.

Used as a revision exercise. Pupils named the quadrilateral and had to write properties of them in the box.

Not really sure what to call this....! Pupils are in groups of 4. They have a question to answer or something to explain. They then have two minutes to write an answer. The paper is then turned around so they can peer assess work. They then discuss and come up with a group answer in the oval. This is then shared with the class. Adapted idea from something I learnt in training.
