Bubble writing - cursive handwriting scaffold Like many primary school teachers I have tried a variety of handwriting schemes with varying degrees of success. Having thought through many common problems with handwriting I have developed a simple scaffold that places a bubble either side of the line to support letter formation. This simple scaffold provides a guide to consistently form cursive letters and ensure each letter is uniform in both height and width. Children are able to leave equal spaces between words and see clearly whether or not there is enough space at the end of each line for the next word they intend to write. There has been a huge impact within my class in a very short space of time and I hope you will see similar benefits within your own setting. Included is a PowerPoint presentation including words from the Year 5/6 spelling list that can be printed as a handwriting pack for children to work through. Blank slides enable you to add words to suit your needs and finally 2 different sized PDF scaffolds that children can use to write on (If photocopied the bubbles will disappear to leave the writing that has been completed.)

GCSE MUSIC – KEY MUSICAL ELEMENTS This 36-page PPT is a great way to kick off the GCSE course, providing an accessible introduction to (or refresher of!) key musical elements: Pulse Metre (including regular and irregular) Rhythm (including syncopation, off-beat rhythms, dotted rhythms and triplets) Chords (including triads and inversions) Melody-writing Basic arranging for ensemble It is expected that most students will have encountered many of these at Key Stage 3, and so whilst this PPT can act as an introduction with clear explanations, it can also act as a useful refresher, with the exercises very much aimed at Key Stage 4. Students will need access to keyboard or guitars, and notation software or manuscript paper. Update (19.09.24): I have added answers to the PPT, so that it could be used by a non-specialist teacher, or even set as cover / homework. Please have a look at my other GCSE Music resources. Thank you!

Week 3 planning for a reception class. This links to the progression document and recently updated Autumn 1 Medium Term Plan. This pack includes an overview of the week showing when we teach, how we distribute staff, a continuous provision plan, a literacy plan, a maths plan, the challenge page to match our challenge mountain and our guided reading learning. Communication and Language, PSED, UTW and EAD planning can be found in the Autumn 1 MTP. The weekly theme for this week is: Pirates Focus Book: The Pirates Next Door

So here we are in the second week of the 2024-2025 school year and so much has happened over Summer! 2024 continues with ever more testing, increasingly expensive, unpredictable, record-breaking and emotional times we’ve seen recently with a variety of stories from around the world! What a week once again - England play ROI, £460 raise, Playstation announce new release and eye-watering price, open audition for epic TV series, strange looking plane lands, James Earl Jones sadly passes, pensioners fury, Beetlejuice returns, Australia social media ban, unusual football injury, another England win and May The Force Be With Us All!!! What exactly happened? Well, there’s only one way to find out - in the NEEEEEEWWWWSSS QUUUUUUUIIIIIZZZ! :) New quiz uploaded each week of the term, ALL YEAR LONG! Nearly fifteen years now and still going strong :) Many thanks to everyone who downloads this, it is very much appreciated and I’m glad it is useful for your form groups! 13 topical questions of the past week’s news, across the UK and the world. Designed to be used as a 10-20 minute activity in formtime - you could make it a little longer by talking about and discussing some of the questions. ANY MIS-SPELLINGS/MISSING CAPITALS ETC. IN THE PREVIEW ARE INTENTIONAL AND LINK TO THE LITERACY QUESTIONS IN THE REST OF THE QUIZ! Powerpoint so can be used on a standard whiteboard. Includes 2 literacy and 1 numeracy questions based on the other questions. Works well as a form group activity in registration time - I give sweets to the winning team (we’re not supposed to give sweets out, so it’s a nice ‘naughty’ reward and makes (some of) them watch and check their apps about the news in the week. :)

Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Energy Stores and Transfers for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Physics. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Combined Science 6.1.1.1 / GCSE Physics 4.1.1.1. and is fully compliant with the new “stores and transfers” way of teaching energy at GCSE. As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are ideal for non-Physicists - as a Biologist who retrained as a Physics teacher I know how to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Worked examples of calculations / questions. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Physics but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

Pupils must identify and label diagrams of animal and plant cells. Like all my worksheets this was intended to be used with SEN students (L1-3). Edit: I have modified this worksheet taking on board the comments left for this resource and improving the terms used.
