I have reloaded this ppt after a few people found difficulties opening it. I hope this is better! I have built up this PowerPoint while teaching Myths, Legends and Fables to year 5. It includes slides of information and stories, worksheets (like the heart rate graph and the cartoon storyboard), and cards that can be cut out for games and activities. I hope others might find it helpful too! Christianne:)

This is a ppt I have built up over a few years with resources for teaching year 5 pupils about the poem The Highwayman. It includes slides with questions and key tasks, activities sheets to explore character, and question cards that can can be discussed in groups. It also includes a Connect 4 game where pupils have to identify the poetic techniques in the poem. The main written outcome from the unit is for pupils to write an account of the events in the poem in role. If you would like visual resources to support this, there are two very good YouTube clips online.

I have built up this Power Point file with information, interactive whiteboard activities and templates for games (such as Connect 4) for teaching spelling with my year 5 class. The slides and activities correspond with year 5 spellng objectives. I hope others may find this a useful resource.

This powerpoint contains all the resources needed to make a game of Poetry Connect 4. The first grid is a game mat with examples of poetic devices, similies, metaphors, personification and alliteration, and the second is the cards. We play in 4s (2 vs. 2), with pupils trying to cover 4 squares in a row by identifying the technique used. I have used this resource in years 5, 6 and 7, and it really helps pupils to remember the techniques!

These presentations and resources were made for whole staff training and termly targets that were implemented across the curriculum in our middle school. They focus on sentence structure, punctuation and reading skills, and the poster slides were on display in every classroom. I hope others might find them useful. Christianne:)

During our Commonwealth topic this term, the children have been finding out about different continents by sorting and ordering these domino cards, before using them to collect research about commonwealth countries within the continents. The ppt contains slides for Oceania, Europe and Africa so far, but I will add sets for the other continents as we study them!

This Powerpoint includes resources to introduce pupils to different types of angles, supporting them to name , sort and measure them. The task sheets can be reduced to A5 or printed two to a page so that pupils can stick them in for clear instructions. I used these resources with my MA/ LA Year 5 class, but they could be used or adapted for any Key Stage 2 Maths group.

This lesson was created for a mixed ability year 5 class, focusing on using direct speech to build quotes into their newspaper articles. Pupils articles were about reporting the (fictional) theft of a Victoria Cross medal from the Imperial War Museum.

This is a blank, adaptable template for a week's Guided Reading. My class were grouped by ability and their activities were rotated each day: Adult- led reading Teacher - led reading Reciprocal reading (a group activity where pupils would read and discuss a shared text, taking on different roles) Paired reading. The plan could be used or adapted for any KS2 group.

This is a blank planning template for Literacy, which could be used or adapted for any KS1 or KS2 class.

I am using this ppt of activities to introduce fractions with my lower ability Maths class this term. The worksheets and activities focus on finding fractions of shapes and numbers and finding equivalent fractions.

This is a set of KS2 Literacy AF reading question cards that I have in laminated packs on each of my year 5 tables for pupils to use in Guided reading sessions. They can be used by a TA as prompts to support their questioning of children as they read a shared text, but I often ask the children to use a selected card to ask each other questions.

I made this document to support year 1 teachers to plan focused, purposeful learning challenges for teaching and assessing Writing in their English lessons. It can be used as a long term plan as it shows all of the end of year expectations for Composition, SPAG and handwriting that pupils need to work towards achieving during the year. The document could also be used as a target sheet for pupils to stick into their books in order to track their progress in writing. The columns on the right can be used by teachers to record 3 dates on which the objectives have been achieved.

I used these task cards, activities and worksheets with my lower ability Maths class, They focus on multiplying mentally and using written methods (including number lines and the grid method) to multiply. The word problems link with our Vikings topic, but are easily adaptable.

I made this document to support year 3 teachers to plan focused, purposeful learning challenges for teaching and assessing Writing in their English lessons. It can be used as a long term plan as it shows all of the end of year expectations for Composition, SPAG and handwriting that pupils need to work towards achieving during the year. The document could also be used as a target sheet for pupils to stick into their books in order to track their progress in writing. The columns on the right can be used by teachers to record 3 dates on which the objectives have been achieved.

I made this document to support year 4 teachers to plan focused, purposeful learning challenges for teaching and assessing Writing in their English lessons. It can be used as a long term plan as it shows all of the end of year expectations for Composition, SPAG and handwriting that pupils need to work towards achieving during the year. The document could also be used as a target sheet for pupils to stick into their books in order to track their progress in writing. The columns on the right can be used by teachers to record 3 dates on which the objectives have been achieved.

I made this document to support year 2 teachers to plan focused, purposeful learning challenges for teaching and assessing Writing in their English lessons. It can be used as a long term plan as it shows all of the end of year expectations for Composition, SPAG and handwriting that pupils need to work towards achieving during the year. The document could also be used as a target sheet for pupils to stick into their books in order to track their progress in writing. The columns on the right can be used by teachers to record 3 dates on which the objectives have been achieved.

I made this document to support year 5 teachers to plan focused, purposeful learning challenges for teaching and assessing Writing in their English lessons. It can be used as a long term plan as it shows all of the end of year expectations for Composition, SPAG and handwriting that pupils need to work towards achieving during the year. The document could also be used as a target sheet for pupils to stick into their books in order to track their progress in writing. The columns on the right can be used by teachers to record 3 dates on which the objectives have been achieved.

This is a differentiated measuring activity which I used for my mixed ability year 5 class, but could be adapted for any KS2 Maths group. I used it as part of World Book Day and it gave pupils a practical opportunity to practice their measuring and converting skills! A range of equipment (ingredients!) is needed, but it is worth it! LA = Orange (following instructions and reading scales to measure) MA = Yellow/ Purple (pupils also need their addition, subtraction and halving skills) HA = Blue/ Green (pupils also need to convert between ML and L)

This powerpoint includes instructions and activities to develop pupil's understanding of character and talking, acting and writing in role. I have used them with Robin Hood and Alice in Wonderland (as well as the poem of The Highwayman), but they could be used with any narrative text you are studying. The powerpoint includes information about freeze frames, thought tracking and discussion activities and I have loved hearing the children's ideas - especially when they really get into their roles! I have found ideas are best once the children are really into the story and the activities have been brilliant to build up their ideas for writing first person accounts, diaries and narratives.
