Film Narrative Planning The Piano/ Up Pixar

(4)
I'm an NQT so I used lots of other people&'s idea to form this 3 weekish plan for film narrative. Starting with The Piano by Aidan Gibbons (I borrowed all the resources from other users- Thank you!). Then comparing it to Pixar&';s Up love sequence. Then giving the children the opportunity to listen to music and draw a storyboard for their own (again an idea taken from another user). The children loved this!

Art Thinkers Lesson Starter

(11)
A power-point of various pieces of art with questions or activities, useful as a starter to an Art lesson or I use them as a thinking skills session after lunch. Where it says 'jigsaw&'- print out the picture onto A3 and cut up into smaller pieces. Then give one piece to each child or the children can choose a piece they feel confident with. The finished result looks a lot more like the original and is a good example of team work. I&';ve put up a photo of a picture we did recently.

Pokemon Times Tables

(1)
I have a class of very low year 6s who needed some inspiration to get back into times tables. Instead of learning our '2x' we are learning our 'Ratattas'! The set includes a class assessment sheet to record which ones they have learnt; posters for each multiplication (1-12) ; poke-dex which the children collect 'stickers' for once they have learnt that times table; and the 'stickers' (mine glue them over the top) and test cards. I found a free Pokemon font online- so apologies if it doesn't load. The font was from here if you want to use it: http://www.dafont.com/pokemon.font It's already had a huge effect for us. I hope it can be useful to others too.

A fully editable excel spreadsheet to track interventions (attainment, aspirations and attitude), progress and parental engagement.I have left the interventions we use but you could easily add your own. The first page explains to teachers how Pupil Premium is allocated, the EEF three tier guide and the OFSTED examples of good use of Pupil Premium. I looked for something myself and couldn’t find it, so made one! We have it uploaded on the server so all staff can edit it. I have recently done the outstanding Pupil Premium strategy for OFSTED course and it looks at how PP should be spent on bridging the gaps in attainment, attitude and aspirations. We haven’t been through OFSTED yet so can’t comment

KS2 Reading Test Key Vocabulary Cards Display

(0)
I’ve made these cards for children to use as a reference when answering practise questions and comprehensions. The cards have a (hopefully) child friendly definition of what the words means. Examples include: ‘extract’- a short passage from the text; ‘suggests’- what idea is given) I was desperate for something like this after last year’s Reading paper, and as I couldn’t find anything I’ve just made them instead. On the cards there are 2 symbols which tell the children whether the answer will be in their heads or in the text- quite often a combination of the two. They are editable so you could add any other words you think of. I’ve made these using the Joinit font, so you may want to adapt. Thank you.

Timeout Tokens

I use these tokens to encourage the children to recognise when they need to remove themselves from a situation, or to talk to an adult. All the children have access to them, but the class are aware that they are mainly for the children with behavioral and social difficulties.
