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)

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)

This is a detailed 172 page powerpoint resource I made for myself during my A-levels that helped me get an A*. I added to it at the end of each lesson/topic, cross-referencing between my notes, the textbook, revision guides and most importantly each point of the specification ; I also updated it with any details from marks I’d missed on tests. Great to go through to better understand topics, as print-outs for revision posters or to review entire modules for the exams or mocks. It covers all topics for the NEW A-level OCR specification detailed below and at http://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/171720-specification-accredited-a-level-gce-chemistry-a-h432.pdf • Knowledge of the required practicals and practical skills • Atoms, compounds, molecules and equations Amount of substance • Acid–base and redox reactions • Electrons, bonding and structure • The periodic table and periodicity • Group 2 and the halogens • Qualitative analysis • Enthalpy changes • Reaction rates and equilibrium (qualitative) • Basic concepts • Hydrocarbons • Alcohols and haloalkanes • Organic synthesis • Analytical techniques (IR and MS) • Reaction rates and equilibrium (quantitative) • pH and buffers • Enthalpy, entropy and free energy • Redox and electrode potentials • Transition elements • Aromatic compounds • Carbonyl compounds • Carboxylic acids and esters • Nitrogen compounds Polymers • Organic synthesis • Chromatography and spectroscopy (NMR)

A revision resource for GCSE students to help them memorise key quotations from Macbeth. A 5 page document, colour-coded according to character. Accompanying brief analysis of each quotation: stylistic features, key themes, similar scenes. Easily adaptable for differentiation.

Did you enjoy the popular TV series ‘The Traitors’? Why not play the game with your staff in school? This could be just the resource to improve staff wellbeing, encourage teamwork or simply a focus to get you through to that next half -term. This resource has been cleverly designed and adapted from the TV series by an active Headteacher. Including the rules, traitor and faithful cards and secret missions, as well as murder and recruitment cards. Enjoy :)

UPDATE – Due to the large number of complaints about dead links – I have checked every one on 2 separate devices. I have found and have repaired one Dead Link. Please use the Playlist link below as it has every video in sequence – I can only apologize if any problems continue, but I have done everything possible to rectify your concerns. I have replaced the original document with the updated version. Hopefully the issue is fixed, but I honestly couldn’t find an obvious one This is the 2nd Year of the calendar and still at its simplest level the purpose of this calendar is to offer a wide-ranging selection of music: different styles, genres, origins, artists, historical periods and so on. As part of an interesting and robust music curriculum, children need to hear and experience music and musical styles and artists that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to hear. The idea was to create a calendar of a song a day. 190 school days… 190 songs. These songs could be used in whatever way the user thinks best – on entry to the classroom in the morning, as assembly music, as a calming session after breaktimes of lunchtimes, or as an introduction to a music lesson. This resource includes this year’s calendar AND last year’s - 2 years of music - for £2! This year I am asking a nominal fee of £2, for a complete resource that will last you all year. I am proud of the product and feel that for the extensive hours spent creating it £2 is well worth it!

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. These can be cut up and laminated for teaching or just cut up and mixed up for activity work (print 2 pages per sheet for evidence in books).
