Featured Resources

Rainforest Topic - Complete Package

Rainforest Topic - Complete Package

Within this bundle is the following: A very detailed medium term plan A PowerPoint for each lesson Resources for each lesson - just hit 'print'. Music/Videos where necessary You do not need to do any work at all when delivering this unit of work. Simply, open the correct PowerPoint and print the associated resources. It's as easy as that! This bundle will save you countless hours of work creating your own high quality resources in order to deliver a unit of work on 'Rainforests'. The Medium Term Plan can be used to print or refer to at any point when delivering this unit of work. It ties in perfectly with all the resources included within this bundle and refers to them specifically. The PowerPoints discuss the worksheets associated with the lesson so children feel confident to immediately engage with their work. I created these resources in my own time to use with my own class and they sincerely enjoyed the unit of work as a result of the time I put into creating the resources. Plus, it saved me so much time in school! It was my goal, when creating these resources, that they should save you hours of time and work so that you can spend your own time doing your own thing - not preparing resources! I sincerely hope that when you download and use these resources, you feel the same way. Thanks!
