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-style questions.
My lessons are designed 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:
• Teaching notes
• 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 / Biology but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications.

A fully planned and engaging assembly PowerPoint designed to introduce pupils to World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development and celebrate the richness of cultures around the world.
This assembly explains what this global day is and why it is celebrated on 21st May, helping pupils understand that it is recognised by the United Nations to promote respect, understanding and dialogue between different cultures.
Pupils will explore what culture means and how it shapes our identity, including language, food, traditions, music and beliefs. The presentation highlights the incredible diversity of the world, including the thousands of languages spoken and the many different ways people live, celebrate and express themselves.
The assembly explains why cultural diversity is important, showing how it makes the world more interesting, encourages creativity and helps people learn from one another. It also introduces the concept of dialogue, teaching pupils the importance of listening, sharing ideas and respecting different perspectives.
A strong focus on inclusion encourages pupils to reflect on their own school community and how they can celebrate diversity through kindness, curiosity and respect. The assembly also includes practical ways pupils can take action, such as learning new words, trying new foods and celebrating different traditions.
The presentation finishes by reinforcing that although people may be different, we are all connected and can build a better world by understanding and supporting each other.
Perfect for whole-school assemblies, this resource is suitable for both KS1 and KS2 and requires no additional preparation.

3 x Sentence Builders for the new AQA GCSE French topic CELEBRITY CULTURE
Recommended for Higher Tier due to the range of language, but could easily be adapted for Foundation Tier (editable word documents included)
What’s included:
Learning outcomes covered:
o Describing a celebrity - present
o Describing a celebrity - past
o Opinions and advice on being famous
Vocabulary based on the official AQA lists + high frequency, useful verb phrases, complex structures as chunks and other universals
Integration of complex structures and idiomatic expressions to help students learn high-level language as chunks
High-frequency vocabulary and complex structures are recycled across several of the sentence builders
How to use them:
Modelling & scaffolding: I use sentence builders as a Knowledge Organiser, a modelling tool when introducing a new topic, and a scaffold for writing and speaking.
Teaching ideas: I have a free document in my TES called “Teaching ideas for sentence builders” that I recommend downloading if you’d like more ideas on how to get started with sentence builders.
EPI methodology: Although I do not work in an EPI school or follow every part of MARS EARS from Gianfranco Conti, these sentence builders could be used for EPI - they are in both PDF and word format so can be edited and adapted.
