These posters are useful for display on your Literacy/English working wall. I have found them useful to the children as quick visual reminders. They are good for quick reference for the teacher during writing sessions. Posters included: noun, verb, adjective, adverbials, sentence, phrases, clauses, articles, determiner, preposition, pronoun.

This sheet contains a set of sentence starters for children to use when reflecting on the work they have just done and responding. Children often find it difficult to think what to say about their learning - I have used this successfully in class to help children think about what they have done well; what they have found difficult; what they want to find out next; what help they might need. I photocopied the sheets onto A5, then laminated them so they can be put in table tidies.

A resource to use when discussing a text with your class. “What do you like about this text?” “What do you dislike?” “Are there any patterns in the text?” “What puzzles you about the text?” This resource consists of a main poster which can be enlarged to make a poster for your English Working Wall or stuck to a flipchart. There’s a smaller, A5 version for individual children to note their personal responses, too. N.B. The cover image only shows a section of the resource, not the whole poster!

This poster outlines 10 strategies for maintaining good mental health. It’s useful for classroom discussion and permanent display. The school I teach in have a copy in a prominent place in each classroom and we aim to refer to it regularly.

These are 2 basic posters setting out the expanded and compact methods for addition & subtraction. There’s nothing startlingly new here - just a pair of posters to save you time making them yourself! Print them off for your Maths Working Wall - A3 works well.

This poster can be enlarged to use on your English working wall or used as A4 versions on children's desks. It shows a range of different types of connective & conjunction. The empty box can be used to write useful adverbials relating to the text being written, which the children can use in their own writing.

Vocabulary Posters of the 4 maths operation: add, multiply, subtract, divide and equals. Useful for permanent display on your maths working wall. N.B. The cover image for this file only shows the top half of the poster.

This is a resource to encourage children to see themselves as scientists. It consists of a series of questions which relate to what scientists do.

I’ve used these for years to help the children in my classes get faster with their times tables facts. The teacher or child chooses which times table to test themselves on. They fill in the name, date & table boxes at the top, leaving the ‘time’ one to fill in afterwards. All the children start at the same time. The children multiply each number in the small box by their times table number and write it in the box. I get my children to complete the rows in order, rather than ‘jump around’. They have to work out any they don’t know before moving on. Ideally, the teacher needs a count-up timer, e.g. on screen or a hand-held one, so that when children finish, they can be whispered the time it took them. They write this in the ‘time’ box and then set themselves a new target for the next time. Children who don’t finish in the allotted time (I usually allow 4 minutes), stop when time is up and also set themselves a target to beat next time. If the whole class are doing the same table, then the teacher can read out the answers. Alternatively, I find it doesn’t usually take long to mark them by doing a quick scan. The slips are also useful for giving to children/parents for them to practise at home. N.B. For children with dyslexia, I’ve found that this resource is tricky…so I suggest they have a couple of minutes beforehand to write the times table out, in order, which they can then refer to during the timed practise. The division facts grids can be used in a similar way to the multiplication grids.

This is a simple worksheet to use with a discussion on topic of what is essential for survival. I first used this alongside our class book - After Tomorrow by Gillian Cross. This is a brilliant story where the main characters suddenly have to flee their home in comfortable UK and become refugees in France. This book led us into discussions about refugees, why people flee their homes & what the essentials of life are. You don’t need to have used this book in class, though, to use this resource. It would fit with any lesson to do with environmental disasters or refugees.

Our school used this in our Mental Health Awareness week: each child was encouraged to take home a copy to fill in each day, for 4 days. The sheet has suggestions of positive things to note down about their day, e.g. “Write one thing which made you laugh today,” or "Write one thing you like about yourself." At the bottom of the sheet are some more suggestions to help build/reinforce positive self-image.
