30 lessons – ‘The Explorer’ by Katherine Rundell – Year 4/5/6 – English planning A whole term’s English planning linked to the book ‘The Explorer’ (Winner of the Children’s Book Prize Winner of the Costa Children’s Book Award 2017) by Katherine Rundell. This story fits well with any topic linked work about South America, as it is set in the Amazon Rainforest. Ideal for Year 4, Year 5 or Year 6 children. There are 30 lessons in total, all with SMART Notebook screens, task sheets and header sheets. To assist teaching, there are a total of 149 SMART Notebook screens and each lesson is clearly marked along with which lesson each chapter should be read to aid and link to the learning. (Update - I personally use SMART Notebook files in my own lessons. In response to many requests, I have converted the SMART Notebook screens to Powerpoint, so there is also a Powerpoint presentation included for the teaching sequence for those unable to use SMART Notebook. However, please note that while the SMART Notebook screens can be edited, the Powerpoint screens can not be edited as they are screen snips from the SMART Notebook file.) This planning includes: Writing a narrative Writing a persuasive letter SATs style comprehension questions Journal writing Writing an information text Recording a radio broadcast This book and planning link well with topic work on South America, Brazil, the Amazon Rainforest and the Yanomami indigenious tribe. It will also educate and inform the children of a very current real problem that others in the world face - the destruction of the rainforest. Some comments from reviews on this resource: ‘This resource is absolutely brilliant - it has everything you need for a term’s worth of work on The Explorer … in an engaging and fun way. Perfect!’ (staylor138) ‘Fantastic and well worth the money, a very broad range of activities that are very well planned and resourced.’ (taylor29) ‘Great resource- such a timesaver!’ (penrich1)

32 lessons - ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’ by Onjali Rauf - Year 4/5/6 - English planning A whole term’s English planning linked to the book ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class’ (Winner of the Blue Peter Best Story Award 2019) by Onjali Rauf. Since its release, this book has been a classroom favourite, covering a topic that is never far from the news. Onjali Rauf writes about the topic of migration and refugees fantastically. I’ve taught this scheme three times now to different classes, and each time the children have all cheered at the end of the book (always a good sign that they’ve enjoyed it!) There are 32 lessons in total, all with accompanying SMART Notebook screens, task sheets and header sheets. To aid teaching each lesson, there are a total of 162 SMART Notebook screens (in one file) and each lesson is clearly marked along with which lesson each chapter should be read to aid and link to the learning. (Update - I personally use SMART Notebook files in my own lessons. In response to many requests, I have converted the SMART Notebook screens to Powerpoint, so there is also a Powerpoint presentation included for the teaching sequence for those unable to use SMART Notebook. However, please note that while the SMART Notebook screens can be edited, the Powerpoint screens can not be edited as they are screen snips from the SMART Notebook file.) This teaching sequence and planning will require the children to complete the following tasks over the 32 lessons: writing a recount writing a persuasive letter answering SATs style comprehension questions writing a narrative descriptive writing drama session writing an information text writing a newspaper report I have also included some examples of work for some lessons in the planning. This topic will also educate and inform the children of a very current real problem that others in the world face - the plight of the refugee. Using this book will expand their understanding of the world and help them to empathise and appreciate what some of the other children in school may have gone through. Even if you don’t need this scheme of work, I would highly recommend the book to share with the class. This resource has received over 20 five-star reviews from teachers who have purchased it. Some of the comments include: We have used this scheme for 2 years it is suitable for high, middle and low ability. It provides the cross curricular style that we wanted for year 7. Worth every penny. (united77) The best resource I have ever downloaded, this made my life so much easier. (AJ40) Absolutely love this. Brilliant scheme of work to go with an excellent book. (ajtranter) Thank you ! These resources are amazing. (teach_explore) Wonderful purchase. All lessons and clearly explained and the appropriate resources are all numbered which makes it super easy to follow. (torylindsay96)

This is my assingment for the new framework for NPQLT (Leading Teachers) 22/23. I was in the first cohort of the new framework and therefore hoping this can give people an example of what a PASS looks like for the new framwork. Included in this is: My final assignment My result and percentages against the marking criteria My references for the LHT and LT statements. Please note: I have uploaded this as a PDF so that you can see how I linked in the LHT and LT statements. You can still copy and paste from this PDF.

This full NPQSL example / exemplar is ideal for anyone who is doing their NPQSL, I am certain it will 100% help. This is my final write up for the new NPQSL scoring 15/17 (passmark 10). I also scored the full 2 marks for the JAR adjustment score. This is the new and most current NPQSL assessment format - grade received in August 2023 - I was ‘cohort 1’, the first cohort since the revised NPQ’s. I have included everything! My full written responses/ submission to all 5 questions, the full feedback and marking I received, (very helpful) so you can see what the moderators are looking for in each section and how they assess against a rubric of statements, the 5 questions and case study I was given to respond too and a little help sheet I created and used which helped me ensure I was responding concisely to the questions. INCLUDES: Full assignment Full feedback and moderation Full case study and 5 questions Help sheet I have added my email on the help sheet if you need to reach out for any help with your write up as well :) Please leave a review if you make a purchase :)

Here is a set of visual rhyming words found in the Gruffalo story to support teaching rhyme within this book. I have found pictures to provide support for SEN/EAL/young children.
