Character cards that can be used on a display. Ideal for Form Tutor Board

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!

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.

Mr Men resources. Perfect for a well-being/mental health display in KS1/KS2 classrooms.

This is an activity where the children look at the different Mr Men and they have to decide if they are circles of triangles.

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.

KS3 Sequence of lessons Aimed at lower ability students

I loved the Mr Men cross-breeding resource uploaded on here by pyrites and have extended this idea. I showed profiles of the characters to the students and got them to work out possible gene pairings for a couple of their choosing. They then discussed how the couple would react after genetic screening revealed their offspring would have the undesirable characteristics.

Feelings display cards with Mr Men characters and simple emotions written underneath.

“My purpose is to engage students in dialogue so they can see other’s points of view – in a world that needs this more than ever. I do this by sharing lessons on this site which connect students with the past and inspire critical thinking. Please read below to find details about this one.” Dan This lesson is titled “What as the social structure of Ancient Egypt?” The lesson begins with a Starter Activity in which students are asked to draw a triangle and to plot down important people in their own school or education, with the most senior at the top. Examples are given and this leads to an introduction of the Key Question along with lesson aims and graduated objectives (all will/most will/some will). After this there are 6 slides of background information to allow for teacher exposition. The PPT then ask students to suggest Mr. Men and Little Miss characters which symbolize each aspect of the Egyptian social hierarchy (they make choices such as Mr. Brave or Mr. Greedy for example) and examples are given although they are encouraged to find their own too. They then use this information to write a six-page children’s book to explain the Ancient Egyptian social structure using the list of key words provided. The lesson concludes with a fill in the blanks pyramid plenary to test knowledge acquired in the lesson. I hope your students enjoy this lesson as much as mine always do. It has been created for high school students but could be adapted to work with slightly younger students too. And before you leave be sure to follow Dan’s History Highway for more info on hundreds of fully-resourced lessons for busy teachers! Wishing you a terrific day.

’Read and Respond’ unit to support home learning in English and Literacy, Year 1 - Week 8: Mr Men. This resource includes an electronic set of plans for parents for English and Literacy in Year 1. These newly created exciting ‘Read and Respond’ units will support home learning in English and Literacy. The ‘mini units’, available for Years 1-6 inclusive, provide daily English lesson plans and have been designed for you to send home to parents on a weekly basis. (Reception guidance for Literacy is also available, though in a slightly different format). All the plans use text extracts freely downloadable from LoveReading4Kids, Oxford Owl or websites with free audio recordings. Week 8 topic for Year 1: Mr Men. It is suggested that each unit is sent to parents with an accompanying letter as a way of the class teacher personally introducing the unit of work. This will provide the teacher with the opportunity to address any particular sections of the plan, provide supporting materials (e.g. a writing frame) where appropriate and/or make reference to any prior learning. An editable example of how this might look is also included. A message from our Senior English Consultant Nicola Martin: HOT OFF THE PRESS! Lancashire Primary English and Literacy team Home Learning Read and Respond Units Summer 2 overview - Available now! Due to popular demand, the Primary English and Literacy team have created a second overview of units to support schools, teachers, parents and children. This follows on from an overview produced for Summer 1 including 6 weeks of plans for Reception to Y6. You may not have used the full suite yet due to this being a 5 week half term! The Summer 2 overview includes 4 weeks of plans from Reception to Y6 which can be used at home or in school. As in previous weeks, an example letter is included which teachers can send to parents in order to provide additional guidance, or to tailor the units to particular classes. Many schools have been enhancing the units in the following ways: -Providing word banks to support each day or week -Teachers reading aloud some of the stories, poems and texts and sending via an online platform/school website so the children can ‘see and hear’ them -Designing additional activities linked to the suggested texts to make links across the curriculum We hope the units continue to be useful and please share any feedback on our Facebook page….
