A resource that was created for use in year 1 and 2 lesson in Science. The lesson was used for a learning together Science session when investigating materials but can also be used within the classroom with just the children. The children were to think about materials that sink and float, and those which are waterproof and what each of those words mean. The children were then asked to design and label a boat for the boy and the penguin to travel to the South Pole using the 'junk' materials that they had brought in. They were then asked to make their design, test it and then evaluate at the end. This pack contains the powerpoint used to explain what to do for the children and also looked at the meaning of the different words we were talking about. It also contains the experiment sheet.

A presentation and activity for working out the new time. Comes with a starter recap and a problem for the children to solve altogether. Main teaching includes differentiated activities for children to complete. LA activity working out what time it will be once an hour is added to o'clock, MA working out the time once an hour is added to o'clock and half past and HA activity adding increments of 5 minutes to find the new time. Children are to work out the new times and draw the hands on the clock to show these times.

A resource created to teach year 1 children about handling data and creating tally charts. Children were told that we are going on a trip to the jungle and that in their packs there were some animals that needed to be released back into the wild. The first activity was to sort the animals (this was the whole session for my LA children), they then used the animal pictures to complete the tally chart (a discussion happened here to recap what a tally chart is and what to do when we count five of something). Afterwards the children were to answer the questions about their tally chart. As a next step or reasoning question the children were asked to write their own question to ask someone about the tally chart, there was a frame to support children in this.

A lesson created to teach children about adding different amounts of money. The children were to choose toppings from the pancake shop and to add them and work out how much money it would cost them to buy the pancake. LA children are to add two different toppings, MA to add 3 toppings (adding three one-digit numbers is part of the curriculum) and HA children are to work out change. This pack contains a lesson plan, differentiated activities and a powerpoint presentation.

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 lesson created to teach year 1 pupils about the past and present tense and how to add -ing and -ed to change the verb from past to present tense within writing. The presentation starts the children thinking about the difference between a sentence in the past and one in the present. It then looks at how to add -ed and -ing to the root word to change its meaning. For their independent tasks the children are to write two sentences about the picture; one present and one past tense, using what they have learnt about suffixes. The powerpoint is linked to our theme which is Antarctica and penguins.

A range of different resources to use when teaching instructions- examples of unclear instructions, an instructions checklist and key features hunt.

A presentation and visual resource when teaching year 1 children about the subordinating conjunctions; when, if, that and because. Before introducing the lesson we recapped what we knew already about conjunctions and their purpose. The main activity was for the children to rewrite the sentences on the last slide and underline the subordinating conjunctions. I stuck the complex sentences stickers in the children's books as a reminder of complex sentences and what we had learnt about subordinating conjunctions.

A lesson on time interval problems for year 1. The powerpoint presentation recaps what the children already know about intervals of time and the clock and then asks them to solve a word problem on the board using their clocks and circular card folded into halves and quarters.

A resource used in my year 1 phonics lesson when teaching the children about the different pronunciations for the /ch/ grapheme. Children were to use the pictures to work out what each word said, afterwards we identified the different pronunciations that they found.

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.

A lesson plan, powerpoint presentation and differentiated activities for working out intervals of time. A lesson which was taught towards the end of our first time topic.

This pack contains a power point and activity for teaching year one how to add two one-digit numbers. The power point uses examples of adding two one-digit numbers using fruit and then asks the children how we would write a number sentence to go with the pictures. The activity is a continuation of this with the children counting the fruit in the picture and writing the number sentence below before writing the answer. The pack also comes with a next step activity where the children are to work out the missing number in the number sentence.
