I created 6 week’s Art planning teaching OpArt (Optical Illusions). This was taught to Year 4 students but could be easily adapted for other year groups. The year group loved learning about Optical Illusions and had great fun creating their own! I have attached all the Notebooks used during the lesson, lesson resources and planning for the half term. If you find these resources useful, I would really appreciate if you could post a review. Thank you!

Could also be used for KS1 and rewards could also be adapted for your student.

I’ve used this with my class for 5 years- my students respond really to this, Every Monday, a volunteer counts the total number of table points received. One person from the winning table wins a prize for the prize box- the winner can be chosen from a number of ways e.g. names in a hat/ raffle ticket; class vote who has worked really well this week or TA/ CT may chose. Before the end of the year, each student would’ve received a prize from the prize box- I made sure the same person wasn’t chosen twice.

I created this class assembly script and PPT to showcase my talented class and some of the things we had been learning e.g. Tudors. In the script, I have included video links and detailed dialogue for numerous students in your class. Some pupils created a dance which they showed in the assembly, while others were dressed in Tudor clothing and modelling in a fashion catwalk. If you have been asked to class a spectacular class assembly to showcase to parents and senior leaders of the school, then look no further! #nepalearthquake #tribute #classassembly #drama #roleplay #speakingandlistening #performingarts #models #tudors #newsreporters #currentissues

This block planning is based around the text ‘Seasons of Splendour: Tales, Myths and Legends of India’, written by Madhur Jaffrey. The structure of the guided reading planning is: D1- Reciprocal Reading D2- Reading Comprehension D3- Follow up task There are notes in the PPT comment section along with a grid where you can add your pupil’s names and a timetable across the week. After 3 days, a new tale from the text is looked at and tasks are related to that particular story. I used this for my Year 4 class however, it can be used for Y5 and Y6 too. This was used as whole class guided reading, where I focused and worked with a different group each day. #guidedreading #reciprocalreading #seasonsofsplendour #readingcomprehension #followuptask #focusgroups #Indiantales #madhurjaffrey

Let me know what you think.

Attached are the plans, lesson Notebooks and resources for this unit of work which is planned for Year 4 pupils- though it can easily be adapted for other year groups too. Please post a review, if you found these resources useful!

Hi everyone, Thank you for viewing my resources. Art Autumn- Art topics related to our topic ‘Scream Machine’ Art Spring- Art topics related to our topic Egyptians Art Summer T1- Our half termly topic was Alchemy Island so the Art tasks were linked to this topic. Tasks include creating a collage, designing a board game and sketching an imaginary island. Art Summer T2- Our half termly topic was Allotments so the Art tasks are all linked around this topic. Cross curricular- food technology, deforestation (Geography), Animals (Science- habitats) and fruits. Some of the tasks include creating a botanical drawing and designing own fruits or flowers.

Hi everyone, Let me know what you think! Lesson details: LI: Can I recognise and describe the physical and human features of Egypt?

Once my class and I have discussed and decided on the rules and expectations, we typed it up on this format; cut it out, stuck it together; students and teachers signed the last page then we laminated it. I then have it displayed in the class- I have used this template for 5 years :)

I organised a talent show at the primary school I work at. Here are the resources I created and used. I had great fun leading this initiative and seeing all the talent! I thought I would share these resources for anyone else who is thinking of organising a talent show- hopefully it will save you time in making the resources from scratch. I’ve blanked out of my school name so you could edit over it and include your school’s name! Hope it helps; please post a review if you found the resources useful!

This lesson was linked to a topic I taught called ‘Time Travellers’.

This lesson was inspired by the topic I was teaching called ‘Time Travellers’- the year group loved learning about how phones have changed over time!

Let me know what you think.

Hope this is useful!
