A book study of Tracy Beaker written in around 2003 to 2006. It includes questions for parts of the book and some writing challenges. Note that as no answers a supplied an understanding of the book is necessary.

My pupils are mad on Tracy Beaker so I made this to use with them to discuss body language and facial expressions. One or two of the images arent great - I did my best. The images range from obvious, happy, sad, angry...etc. Good starting point for talking about feelings and non verbal communication. Im in the process of finishing an associated worsheet. Favourite this and check back if you think you'd like to use it.

A brilliant worksheet with questions to discuss foster home and fostering based on the books of Tracy Beaker by Jacqueline Wilson. Perfect for a class discussion, group chat and working with individual students to discuss fostering and parents.

Unit of work in Literacy to match our 'Weather around the world&' topic. In topic lessons the children had their own locality to research (weather, climate, location etc) and then in Literacy they wrote a holiday brochure persuading people to visit their locality. Thanks to Pie Corbett for initial ideas; his &';Hawk Ridge Farm Park' worked very well to introduce the topic.

My Year 7s have been learning the weather phrases for the last few lessons. This activity (over 2 lessons) gives them the opportunity to create their own weather forecast and evaluate each others' performance. I have used a video to get their interest at the start and then given them a find the French activity on which they can base their own text. I found the Dumping Ground quiz (thank you JC Chung) on TES and have re-used as a plenary.

working with larger numbers, aiding hand writing practice of those tricky numerals, including current familiar characters in which to count the number of letters in their names.

15 slides each with 5 general knowledge questions. Probably more suited to upper KS2 and KS3. I've tried to create the questions so there is a variety for all abilities of children.

Early Morning and independent activities. Appreciation of the variety of books written by specific authors involved in the £1 World Book Token book and voucher scheme. Helps with number formation and an excellent counting activity that the children do seem to enjoy.

All on powerpoint, a series of activities, all put together - some from TES so thanks to those who shared - others I came up with and answers included too. There are links to 5 songs on youtube - excuse the 2 with ads but you can skip the ads, and then the title on round 6 (joey) and the question before the last (his actual talent) are linked to the clips of Joey speaking French and then drinking the milk. Hilarious and the kids love it! Enjoy and bonnes vacances!

Based on Pie Corbett's method of teaching writing. used resources at iplanner.co.uk We had read &'Ottoline and the Yellow Cat&'; by Chris Riddell and idenitified the features of mystery stories before these sessions.
