I spent a long time looking for this already existing, but couldn't and so I spent a long time producing it! I used it with Year 5. NB - See my Art unit to make the braid. There&'s a plan and a notebook (also PDF for those who don&';t have SMART). The notebook is very thorough (I hope) and it includes all the steps in making the pouch. (I am a complete sewing novice, but they did produce fantastic pouches). Some of the images belong to: http://www.kats-hats.co.uk/pouch.shtml

I looked for a long time to find a teddy bear passport and ended up making one. It prints on 1 A4 sheet and is folded to make a booklet. I thought I'd share it as it took a long time to make! The reason I&'ve attached a PDF document is because it was created on an iMac and so some of the fonts used are not commonly recognised. However, I am aware that some of you out there will want to edit certain features, so I&';ve also included it as a Word document.

A unit used with year 5. All the resources are attached as well. The notebook should be particularly useful. I did not make the PowerPoint, I adapted it from another TES user.

A unit following the SEAL title of 'New Beginnings&'. (ignore the Egyptian figures on the plan - it was our topic at the time!) The unit uses some SEAL materials, which I&';ve included here. In one lesson it also looks at a great book by Oliver Jeffers called 'The Heart and the Bottle&'. I&';ve scanned some parts in on a PowerPoint, but the lesson really needs the text to go with it.

A unit that follows some of SEALs 'Say no to Bullying&' ideas. I have included all resources like the stories and poems as well as &';home-made' ways of recording - moral compass, speech bubbles, action boxes for the activities.

Lessons focussing on portraits, different artists around the time of the Tudors and some other activities like Tudor weaving and making a stained glass Tudor Rose window. See my Tudor DT Money Pocket, which links in with the tudor braid mentioned in the plans.

MTP for the Tudors. Used with a year 5 class. I hope all the necessary resources are there. I have included bits that I used from Sparklebox and a website that has useful Tudor house templates.

I use these cards for a Timbre Game where the children sit in a circle. (Similar to hot potato). In the middle are a selection of instruments (range of materials and methods of playing). Someone picks a card. Then sing together, while passing an object around the circle: Use ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ as the tune. The lyrics are: 'Can you make a (e.g) spiky sound, We would like a spiky sound. Use the in-stru-ments you see, come and make this sound for me. Can you make a spiky sound, we would like a spiky sound. Whoever the object stops on, comes to the middle to make that timbre.

A unit of literacy lessons for significant authors. I taught this with year 5 and focussed mainly on Charlie and the Chocolate factory. The notebook has plenty of useful bits on it! I was surprised as at the end of the year, the one thing every child put on their self-report as enjoying, was the topic on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! NB (Morpurgo, Dahl, Jeffers and Browne were the names of my literacy groups)

I've attached the instructions for a rhythm game. I often use it as a warm up and all children love playing it! It is important that for this game, you've established a degree of mistakes being acceptable as the &'spotlight&'; will be on children! However, all children I have taught love it!

A KS2 lesson focussing on 3d shapes in the context of Ancient Egypt. Children create 'Wanted&' posters for shapes, detailing their properties. The lesson starts with an oral-mental starter on the PowerPoint. Then, an &';email' appears on the screen with a letter. I used the context of the class visiting a nearby museum, stating that jewels had gone missing from artefacts. There are also Egyptian labels that you may want to customise. And a postmark, which I use a lot in mantle lessons, stuck on envelopes.

This was used with year 5, but could easily suit older year groups. It's a debate lesson based on coastal defences. At this point in the unit, children had already looked at different types of coastal defences, erosion, deposition and cave-->arch-->stack-->stump. The children were given roles and then discussed ideas in groups before holding a class debate.

A short PowerPoint on Myron, the Ancient Greek sculptor. I used this with year 5 when teaching Ancient Greece. However, it is easily adaptable for other ages. There are questions and plenty of images (which are from the internet and I do not have the copyright for). There is a focus on sculpture subjects, sculptures as artefacts and sculpture materials.

A set of 4 table names, using famous explorers as a theme. Originally, I downloaded a tudor style font for these, however, it may display differently if you don't have it installed - so you can edit this how you like.

While teaching the year 5 unit Earth, Sun and Moon, I created this leaflet to set as a piece of homework. Ideally this needs to be set during winter months (as children need to be allowed to stay up late enough for it to be dark). You can check for periods where interesting planets or constellations will be visible: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/ataglance/

A set of 6 Table group names - 1 per a4 sheet, middle landscape fold. (I suggest you laminate them). Included are images from the internet that relate to each name: Jack in a Box, Slinky, Yoyo, Jigsaw, Teddy Bear, Spinning Top.

A set of 4 table names with the theme of river sections. The text / font are editable.

A quite open summative assessment of a water topic that I've used at the end of a topic with year 5. They actually quite enjoyed demonstrating everything they could remember! (Square boxes are for written responses and rounded rectanges for diagrams)

An activity used with year 5s to classify/ sort solids. Requires children to create their own sorting categories and choose an appropriate diagram e.g. Venn / Carroll. The images used may be subject to copyright.

A set of 6 table names themed for an India topic - names derive from Indian cities/ towns. The names are editable.
