Set of resources introducing the idea of classification and the need for systems to organise masses of information.
Includes resources for students to use over two lessons to build their own dichotamus key to classify Mr Men characters.
My year 11 certificates for their last day. Have shown some I mocked up, the other page includes an image you can crop with all the characters you’ll need on it. Worked really well with my class, depending on the kids, serious and silly awards work equally well!
PPT and description cards for descriptive vocabulary lesson. Aim of the lesson is for children to up-level their description of characters.
Children read the vocabulary statements and match the description to a Mr Men character. Each sentence should match to one of the four characters. I printed and cut the statements, placing them into envelopes for extra ‘fun’.
Discuss in a group any vocabulary they don’t understand (use a dictionary where needed and discuss as a class).
Once the descriptions are matched to the characters, the children then write their own character description for a Mr Men character of their choice.
Character descriptions contain very high vocabulary and punctuation. This would be more suitable for UKS2 and KS3 students. This lesson has been previously used with KS1 and LKS2 also for intervention/guided reading sessions. Students thoroughly enjoy the session.
This lesson include extensive analysis of key quotes, notes on context, thoughtful alternative interpretations, themes, grade 9 critical ideas, and a question for independent student work with a writing frame to support all students. Key vocabulary, terminology, and paragraph structuring is included, as are opportunities for students to mark and improve their own work.
Quotes included are:
‘Arthur you’re not supposed to say such things’
‘Now Sheila don’t tease him. When you’re married you’ll realise that men with important work to do sometimes have to spend nearly all their time and energy on their business.’
“I’m sorry it should have come to such a horrible end. But I accept no blame for it”
“She was claiming elaborate fine feelings and scruples that were simply absurd in a girl in her position.”
“Go and look for the father of the child. It’s his responsibility.”

For secondary school students ages 11-15 learning about descriptions.
This lesson introduces personality adjectives using fun Mr Men and Little Miss characters. It includes grammar slides for adjective agreement and the verb ‘SER’. Also included are memory games for the new learning. The lesson finishes with translation sentences both from Spanish to English, and English to Spanish to consolidate learning.
A fun PowerPoint designed to guide students into adopting suitable study habits. The presentation covers a vast area of material from note-taking to exam preparation. The end goal is to ensure students have a positive mindset and engage their time productively. Often students can have good intentions but are let down by poor study habits. Hopefully this presentation will help improve their results and be reflected in a more positive attitude. Enjoy!
In this Powerpoint you see the effects of cross breeding the popular cartoon characters of the Mr Men and the Little Misses. 6 children are seen and the pupils have to work out who the parents are. Useful to initiate characteristics both inherited and environmental. File is compressed for ease of download.
