Have you been struggling teaching your Year 6 class how to answer impressions questions in reading comprehension tasks? Do you want some support in giving a clear method with examples and practice questions? This PowerPoint might just be the answer. This Year 6 reading SATS preparation lesson focuses on impressions questions and supports the children to give answers that give two very different impressions of a person, place, object or setting.
This resource includes:
Steps to success
Examples of modelled answers
Practice questions for Year 6 pupils to have a go with
Answers given throughout
The method focuses around giving two very distinctive impressions. The analogy of a weighing scale is used to show that the two impressions should be different - kind and thoughtful, for example, would be too similar.

Fact or Opinion Mystery Activity
Why not make teaching fact or opinion a bit more fun? his upload is a fact or opinion mystery activity. In this reading lesson activity, students must solve the mystery to work out which suspect stole the head teacher’s chocolate bars!
Throughout the activity, students will be given sources containing evidence (facts). These take the form of diary entries, a newsletter extract and even a wanted poster! Students must identify the facts and not get distracted by the opinions, which are also hidden in there. By gathering the facts, they can exclude suspects from their inquiry. At the end of the activity, there is just one suspect remaining. The mystery is solved!

NQT Mentor Report Wrting Support
This pack is an NQT mentor report writing support. It supports those who are mentoring an NQT through the induction period to write reports with reflect the teacher standards. I have mentored NQTs through induction over many years and would have found it really useful to have this resource as a guide.
This resource includes:
A structure for writing the report which can be copied and pasted into the Local Authority template
A four page document with key questions and examples linked to each teacher standard which can be used to help write the report
My experience mentoring NQTs has been in primary schools, so there will be some phrases that are more tailored to primary settings e.g. reference to the teacher’s class, rather than classes, but this would be easy to adapt to suit secondary NQTs.
This is a guide rather than complete reports that can be copied and pasted. This is because NQT reports must be written about the individual teacher. However, it will certainly save time and give some valuable pointers to help you to write a report that is truly reflective of the teacher’s strengths and next steps.
