I am a primary school teacher working in LKS2 with 12 years experience. With my resources, I include all planning, smartboards and as many resources as I have made myself. They probably aren't perfect but will hopefully be useful in giving starting points and save time making loads of worksheets etc.

This lesson was created for an interview in Year 3 (I did get the job!). It is Christmas themed - Middy (The Elf) has written secret messages.

I made these for a Year 4 class to help them to improve the detail in their writing by describing feelings rather than just writing ‘she was scared.’ There is a smart board and a set of mindmaps. Very easy to edit.
Used in Nursery to introduce children to shapes (circles and squares). Smartboard has lots of pictures of square and circular items within the environment then a sorting activity at the end.

I used this with Year 3 but would also suit Year 4. 5 Weeks of planning, smartboards and some resources (Resources not included are available elsewhere on TES) based on the book Escape from Pompeii. Some weeks have days missing in plans as lessons sometimes continued from the day before.
Week 1: Reading and predicting the ending
Week 2: Writing their own ending based on prediction
Week 3-4: Newspaper reports (We used purple mash to present the reports which took a few days)
Week 5: Kenning poetry
Introduction to written methods of addition and subtraction with Year 3 (2 digits). Planning, smartboards and resources included. All can be adapted if needed. I have a feeling some planned lessons took more than 1 day - especially with subtraction and exchanging. Fluency, reasoning and problem solving questions included throughout the planning. Most are on the smartboards.
Join the clauses using a conjunction. Children match the clauses and choose a conjunction that makes sense. The sentences are all about Broccoli and Cauliflower. Suitable for LKS2. Nice to use as a paired or group task so the children can discuss why they think their sentence is correct.
