MASSIVE UPDATE APRIL 2019
I have added a massive amount of content to this resource. Newspaper Articles, worksheets a great pack of resources. Ideally suited and adaptable for years 3-5.
-Includes a Powerpoint on ‘Headlines’ that gained outstanding in an observation, with lesson plan
-Weekly Unit plan
-Additional worksheets
As a bonus I have included a Newspaper article and comprehension I wrote based on ‘Back to the Future.’
A set of worksheets I designed to help children practice using a dictionary. The first few letters are correct and children have to find the words in the dictionary, listing the page number at which they find them and correcting their spelling.
(Tip, make sure you have a set of the same dictionary types for this!)
Also…
-KS2 Scheme.
-A list of the ‘100 most common mis-spelt words’ that I found and edited from the internet.
UPDATE: Lots of other worksheets to use for example using a thesaurus and homophones
If you are teaching settings this is bound to interest boys and improve their writing.
This topic has produced some outstanding work from pupils in classes I have taught myself and assist others in an advisory capacity.

2018 Update.
These resources were originally based on a specific lesson observation, I have since included a massive amount of extras.
I have included a presentation file in BOTH Mac (Keynote) and Windows (Powerpoints) formats, this particular lesson was used in an observation highly sucessfully (outstanding) during my performance management 2 years ago.
UPDATE: I have re-uploaded the ‘mummification pictures’ in pdf format as well as the original microsoft word format due to review comments, photos are now viewable in several formats.
A set of 'free&' sites I gathered together to support our &';dimensions' ICT curriculum. Hope you find this useful. These are sites the children can use for the key areas of learning.
A Smart Notebook file, about finding change from £1.
The coins can be moved into the actual hand as required to help the childrens understanding.
I can’t stress how helpful the notebook file is to illustrate this.
Suitable for years 2-4
I have also included a lesson plan for this particular lesson I was observed on and a large collection of differentiated worksheets.
A document for parents and pupils to sign. Invaluable for E-Safety and security. Editable as I have included my word version of the document. Has gone down well with many schools.
This is a snippet from the top of the document...
Parents / Carers play a crucial role in ensuring that their children understand the need to use the internet / mobile devices in an appropriate way. Research shows that many parents and carers do not fully understand the issues and are less experienced in the use of ICT than their children. The school will therefore take every opportunity to help parents understand these issues through parents’ evenings, newsletters, letters, website / VLE and information about national / local e-safety campaigns / literature. This agreement is aimed at fostering that approach.
Invaluable and guaranteed to save you time.
A full set of cursive handwriting worksheets from A-Z - Easily used as a whole school scheme
The sheets can be used stand alone or as a template for children to use in their handwriting books, I have especially found the words after the letters helpful.
I have also included a few extras that can be used to test children's 'best handwriting'
I am delighted that the conversion from Mac to PowerPoint is now reliable enough to transfer the special effects on this presentation to PC Powerpoint format as well!
The animations of the number line are unique and extremely beneficial to the childrens understanding in this method.
This lesson has been observed several times by colleagues in the past in my capacity as AST to illustrate how the use of teacher technology can improve maths teaching within a lesson. Starters included…
There are also examples of worksheets, here this has always been one of my favourite lessons to deliver and I am delighted I can share it.
I have included a lesson plan and visualiser recording that I made to illustrate the stages of making portraits. This lesson was included on the teaching channel before it disappeared (have included the link) and thought some of you might find it useful. If this helps anyone out please comment.
