Great ideas to go alongside Jack and the Beanstalk
4 images of zoo animals in a 'cage&'. To be laminated and hole-punched, or stuck onto thick card and small snips at the top and bottom edges made. The children can then lace a thread or weave some string/wool, depending on their fine motor ability. Their lacing/weaving will become the bars of the cage.

SSEHV stands for Sathya Sai Education through Human Values, a PSED teaching method in many schools. Based on core human values of Love, Peace, Truth, Non Violence and Right Conduct.
The SSEHV lesson brings on various elements - a quotation to talk about, a warm-up game, a silent sitting/meditation, a story and discussion/questions, a song, and then a game or activity.
This lesson plan has been put together to focus on non-violence, and basic respect of similarities and differences, and what we can learn from the peace loving plant eating dinosaurs.
An image of children holding hands around the world. Could be used as a starting point for similarities and differences; cultural, or new year discussions
Worksheet with long-winded instructions on how to play a board game. Children to re-write the short and clear instruction underneath, ensuring it begins with a bossy (imperative) verb.
Can be easily differentiated for your children's needs.
A lesson starter/intro to the story of The Three Little Pigs &/or Homes topic. Loosely based on Through the Keyhole. Use the spotlight tool in ActivPrimary on the image pages to give the children thinking time.
3 different categories: best in show, agility (obstacle course/tricks) and obedience. Certificates made for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, so can bring in ordinal numbers.
I will also be uploading a generic participation certificate, so everyone gets something for joining in!
Designed for use at circle time/carpet time.
A set of 5 questions describing 5 different zoo animals. Each question is made up of 3 hints, each getting easier.
