A group of resources used when teaching year 1 about different types of animals and their features during our animals and humans science topic. Includes a lesson plan explaining how I used the different resources, a PowerPoint presentation, facts and pictures for the children to investigate and an activity to go in their books. I aimed for the children to investigate and become experts themselves. I had a recording of Peter Pan asking the children for help to discover what type of animal the Neverbeast was as my hook for the lesson. Peter Pan wanted to set a trap for the Neverbeast but wasn't sure where to put it. I also had animal noises playing in the background throughout.

The first lesson for block 1 Spring 1 following the White Rose scheme. Due to the aility levels in my class the first lesson comprises of a warm up where ‘Beaky’ has jumbled up the numerals and words counting to 20 and the children have to move them around so that they are correct. I have then focused the first lesson solely on counting by adding on using the pictures for ‘first’, ‘then’ and ‘now’. This is the only part of the varied fluency included in this pack. The activities are differentiated. LA are to just fill in the sentences using the pictures with colour coordinated words. MA have higher numbers and have to complete the the ‘now’ picture (and in my class will have support) and HA are to complete independently without the colour coordinated words as a clue. I have then included two reasoning questions. I know that there are often problems when opening up a publisher document so I have also included the PDF. I hope it saves you time!

Whole class guided reading flipchart and activities based on the story ‘Traction Man’. Comes with exerts and differentiated activities. Covers a range of reading skills- inference, prediction and retrieval.

A lesson which has been differentiated three ways to teach year 1 children about symmetry. The pack includes a powerpoint, a plan, three different differentiated activities and next steps for the year 1 children to complete.

A whole lesson on teaching money to year 1. The starter gets the children to match the coins to their value which is one of the NC objectives. There are then a few examples of coins in a purse on the board. This gets the children thinking about how to add different coins and how to write this as a number sentence. After the whole class input the children have their own purses in their books. This activity is differentiated with LA children working with 1p’s and 2p’s. MA are using coins up to 10p and HA children are working with coins up to 50p. The pack also comes with next steps stickers to be used when marking or when moving the children on in the lesson.

Two week’s worth of resources for whole class reading for year 2 based on ‘The Bear and the Piano’. Covers all reading domains. Activinspire and publisher needed to use the files. All lessons are differentiated at least twice.

A resource used for year 3 children when looking at time. The resource was created to get the children to think about different time intervals. The activity comes with question cards which ask the children to look at the different trains on the time table and work out how long it has taken for the trains to get from the station to the North Pole. The questions range from working out time intervals within and over an hour. The questions are differentiated with some asking the children to identify which train left at a certain time and others to work out the shortest and longest journey. The timetable and tickets are both Polar Express themed.

A range of different resources created to get year 3 children to write persuasively. Resources include starters, main group activities and a powerpoint. Gets children thinking about what a good advert looks like and what techniques we can use in persuasive writing. The overall aim of the unit of work was to be able to sell products to ‘dragons den’. The children were asked to design their own tea and to persuade the rest of the class to buy it. This can be linked to DT as the children then can design and make their product.

A resource used when learning how to write invitations in my year 1 class. All resources are linked to our Peter Pan theme. For the first lesson we looked at what needs to be included in an invitation and the children investigated existing party invitations and then wrote notes on what they were going to include in their own. The following day the children used the reminder sheet to help them to turn their notes into a proper invitation. This pack contains a lesson plan and powerpoints for the two days as well as writing frames and help sheets.

A resource used when teaching a year 1 class about adjectives. Contains a powerpoint with two pictures of an icy setting to describe, a sound clip to be played when the children are thinking about what they may hear in this setting, a thermometer picture to use as a prompt when thinking about how cold it may be there. I used the resource alongside fake snow and fans in boxes. There are senses spinners for lower ability children as a prompt to get them thinking about using the 5 senses to describe the setting. There are also a range of snowflakes. Blank snowflakes for children to write their own adjectives on to share with the class and others with a range of different adjectives on for LA children to decide which ones would be well chosen and which wouldn't. They are then to match the well chosen adjectives to the picture.

Activinspire and publisher needed to access. Four lessons around the book aimed at year 2. Covers domains- inference, predicting, retrieval and sequencing.

A plan and resources following the new RE curriculum for year 1 on celebrations. The pack contains a six week plan following the new national curriculum guidelines. The plan looks at celebrations- the celebrations the children may have been to, achievements, Jewish Passover, Eid, Christian wedding ceremonies and special places. The pack contains a powerpoint presentation to go with the plan along with activities for each lesson.

A lesson used to introduce my year 1 class to the possessive apostrophe (they have already seen apostrophes in contractions) when creating their own fairy tale character ready for a story they are going to write. The pack includes a powerpoint which introduces the children to the possessive apostrophe and then gets them to apply what they have learnt by asking them to choose the correct use of the possessive apostrophe. I then asked the children to create their own fairy tale character using the character description frame. Afterwards we wrote about our character using imaginative description and using the possessive apostrophe. The pack also contains a blooms taxonomy higher level sticker for your early finishers and a writing frame for LA children to use when describing their character.

A range of different resources to be used when teaching division to year 3. I linked the learning to the Ice Bear topic and as a result the children were sharing and grouping using the Eskimos and sleds as well as 'snow balls'. This resource pack contains pictures as well as lesson ideas and word problems for both grouping and sharing. I have also included a 'be the teacher' starter activity where the children have to find and fix the mistakes.

An active inspire flipchart and differentiated activities accompany whole class guided for year 1 based around the story ‘Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book’. The pack comes with differentiated extracts from the story as well as differentiated follow up activities. All are linked to the VIPERS and reading domains. This will only work if you have active inspire downloaded as the presentation is on a flipchart NOT powerpoint.

This pack comes with a starter activity where the children are to think about where they live and describe their house and their family. This then moves on to looking about homes around the world and thinking about who lives in the different houses, children are to write a sentence about who they think lives in the different houses or may have lived there at some point in the past. The power point then goes through each of the pictures and explains where the houses can be found and what they are made of.

Starter or main activity for year 1 in maths. Children are to use the numbers on the sheet and put them in to order. Numbers used range from 1-100.

A resource made to recap writing compound sentences with year 1. We have previously learnt about coordinating conjunctions and compound sentences but revisited them before learning about complex sentences. The powerpoint and activity is linked to the Julia Donaldson stories as we are currently writing stories based on books by other authors. I have also included an activity where children are to match the two main clauses and turn them into a compound sentence.

I have created these for the phonics activity during my guided reading carousel sessions for my year 1 class. There is one word sort for ch and sh words for my children still working on set 1 and an ar and ow sort for those who are revising set 2.

A generation game type powerpoint create to encourage children to think about the alternative /ai/ spellings. This lesson followed our investigation of the different /ai/ spellings. Children were to write the different words on the whiteboard and afterwards we looked at the spellings together. We then worked out the best bet for the /ai/ graphemes.
