David Matthew Baker's Primary Shop

Average Rating4.34
(based on 59 reviews)

I'm currently training as a Primary Teacher so making a wide range of resources using a variety of programmes including ActivInspire and Smart Notebook. My shop also has some of my past resources that I made during my time as a Special Needs Support Assistant. I am also a Cub Scout Leader and have provided some of the resources I have made for this role where I feel that may be of use to others.

Air Raid Sound Effect

Air Raid Sound Effect

(0)
A 5 minute sound file that has been used to simulate an air raid at school and my Cub Scout Pack. It starts with an air raid siren, then has explosion sound effects before finishing with the all clear. We have used it separately and in association with my Child's War Quiz (WW1 & WW2), We pushed some tables together and covered them with a sheet / tarp to make an shelter. A smoke machine was used for extra effect.
The Children's Society

The Children's Society

(1)
A just over 3 minutes looping PowerPoint showing some of the work the Children's Society does. I made this to display before our Christingle Service but it could be used separately.
Christmas Quiz - Round 1 - Santa Claus

Christmas Quiz - Round 1 - Santa Claus

(1)
The first part of an ActivExpression Quiz that I'm making for my Cubs and Scouts. It has a mix of general knowledge questions. One question that relies of Maths skills. This part of the quiz includes multiple questions on the same slide so can only be done with ActivExpression handsets not Activotes. It would be possible to change the quiz so you can complete it on a piece of paper. I&'ll upload the other rounds once I&';ve made them.

Quiz (Logo and Song Recognition)

(0)
Here is a quiz I made for the Cubs in the summer term. It has a logo round, a Scouting knowledge round, a song round (using a clean version of the 4 chords song - link to youtube as was too big to upload embedded) and then the answers. I hope it might come in useful to someone.

Assembly with North East Places Quiz (Activote)

(0)
An Activote / ActivExpression quiz that asks the audience to work together as teams to identify a number of places from around the North East. Also contains the lyrics to Morning has Broken (complete with matching pictures). You will need ActivOffice to use handsets to vote on the answers (anyone however could use it with an old fashioned show of hands).
Hobbit - what happens after the story

Hobbit - what happens after the story

(1)
A descriptive writing task based after the events of the Hobbit but staring the books main characters. I've written a synopsis for the events I thought might take place but the pupils need to flesh out the story with some descriptive writing. I suspect the level at the moment is probably too high but I'm uploading it here in case anyone likes the idea and wants to tweak it a bit to make it suitable. This was another one of the items that I wrote for my English tutor.
International Links / Contact Prompt Sheet

International Links / Contact Prompt Sheet

(0)
A prompt sheet that I originally created to help prompt my Cubs / Scouts about things they could talk to people from overseas about during the International Scouting event JOTA / JOTI. The sheet includes a mind map with lots of different pointers towards things that might be different in the other country to what life is like here at home. I hope it might come in useful to someone. Feel free to edit it as needed.
Road Sign Meaning Cards (Road Sign Border)
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Road Sign Meaning Cards (Road Sign Border)

(1)
A set of A4 pages that I printed out and laminated with Road Sign borders (feel free to edit it to use this part of the card) to give the meanings of various UK road signs. The Cubs then walked around the local area taking photos of road signs with the correct page of the booklet shown in the photo. We decided this was a bit more fun than sitting in the hut identifying signs. Hopefully it might come in useful to some other people.
Scouting Posters

Scouting Posters

(0)
A set of Posters that I made to put up in our Scout Hut. One set has the Promises and Laws for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. Another set show some important people within Scouting and what their roles are.
Spiders Web Team Building Activity

Spiders Web Team Building Activity

(0)
A sheet showing how we scored a Spiders Web Team Building Activity on the County Cub Competition. It includes a picture I drew (on the computer) of a Spiders Web. They are fairly easy to set up with some rope and knots. To score highly teams have to work effectively together.
A question sheet on space with answer cards

A question sheet on space with answer cards

(0)
This was made as a resource for a District Cub camp but some of you may find it useful. Each of the cards contain a little information about planets and other bodies in space. Whilst the 'Space Fact Finding' sheet has space to record some of the things that they learn whilst searching for the cards. As it was designed to be used on a National Scout campsite at night I also wanted them to look out for orienteering markers as the cards were quite space out. They followed glow sticks to find the cards.

Next Steps Design & Technology Template

(0)
A sheet to help students understand where they should be trying to go next in terms of their learning to help them make progress with regards to p-levels or National Curriculum levels. I've left in some of the targets we set students this term (autumn 2013) but have removed their names from the sheet. You should easily be able to modify them for your own use.

Birthdays List and Class Door Sign

(0)
A Birthdays List and Class Door Sign that I made for use in our Special Need's School. The basic template I made may save you making one from scratch. If I find any other versions that I&'ve designed I&';ll edit this post and add them to it.
Behaviour Levels (Raise Responsibility System)

Behaviour Levels (Raise Responsibility System)

(0)
A poster I made for the Cubs to try and encourage them to think about how they are acting - the idea being that this would help them to control their own behaviour. The poster is based on Marvin Marshall's Raise Responsibility System.

Semphore Flag Positions

(0)
A sheet showing young people the different flag positions for the alphabet / numbers in semaphore. This could be used to examine communication and how it only works if both people are paying attention and understand what you are saying.

Hand Drawn Bug House

(0)
A drawing I made of the Bug Houses we produce that students could practice their shading skills on. (This is also included in one of the worksheet packs I have produced.)
Secondary-Inter Cardinal Compass Points
DavidMBakerDavidMBaker

Secondary-Inter Cardinal Compass Points

(0)
A set of pages designed to be printed out at A4 and put up around a room. Contains Cardinal Points (N, E, S, W) down to Secondary Intercardinal Points (NNE, ENE, etc...) Can then be used to help students know which way to run when playing the North East South West game (where they have to run to the right place) and similar games. Also includes the bearings to allow a bit of variation. Was originally produced for use in our Scout Hut with Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
Hobbit / LOTR Comprehension & Descriptive Tasks

Hobbit / LOTR Comprehension & Descriptive Tasks

(0)
Here are two sheets I made when I had an English tutor (last time I applied for Primary Teacher Training). Both are themed around the Hobbit (or Lord of the Rings). In one you are given some text and asked to draw or construct a picture of a Hobbit based on that text. The other gives you a picture of Gandalf and asks you to write a description of the Istari (Gandalf) who is shown in the picture. I've never tried these with children so would be interested to hear how they go down with them if you do try them out.
