Lesson slideshow for the year 5 maths learning objective. The work choices available are from Target Your Maths - Year 5. This lesson was used for an observation and graded outstanding. Can be used to build on children's prior knowledge of perimeter and angles.

A fantastic resource for a full week - encouraging children to think like entrepreneurs! The task is to create a brand new box of chocolates. From designing the chocolates and making the packaging, to writing a persuasive speech and presenting their products to the class! It gets the children to think about costing their chocolates - market research and conducting questionnaires. The children work in groups in the style of 'The Apprentice'.

Every week the children in my class are paired with a different talk partner. At the end of the week I give everyone this sheet to assess how effective they thought their talk partner was. It is excellent to encourage the children to work better in partners and think about the quality of their dialogue and interaction.

This is a great sheet that can be used to break down lessons into easy to manage chunks. By writing down what is expected First, Next, Then, After and Last with short timings, children find lessons much easier to manage and can therefore achieve more. I have also included a reward section. This could be changed but is useful for children who find it particularly difficult to take part in a whole lesson.

Template for creating a 'Family Shield' all about yourself! Perfect for transition to create a display ready for your new class.

Class Dojo is a free reward scheme based on points that children love! They can create their own monster character. I have created some certificates that my 'Top Monsters' receive at the end of each week. I have also created a wall chart to record daily whole class points totals and the weekly top monsters. There is also a label for a box of 'Dojo Tokens'. These can be handed out if you are not currently on the dojo site or app and the children can cash them in later. A fantastic behaviour management resource!

This is a pack of lessons I have used to teach the decimals objectives in year 5. I found that using multibase helped visually support the place value for the children - that is what the symbols on the slides refer to but can be removed if necessary. Each lesson follows a similar format for familiarity and continuity. This was taught using Target Your Maths - Year 5 for the independent work the children carried. Again, this can be changed to suit your class.

Each set of cards comes in yellow and orange. The idea is to pick one yellow card and then find its matching number bond. This is mainly a KS1 activity. However, I did use it with a year 4 class as a refresher activity and they loved it!

A carroll diagram to compare human and physical features of India and the UK. Included are a selection of images for both the UK and India for children to cut out and stick into the correct part of the worksheet.

Fantastic resource that I use at the end of the year for a weeks worth of maths lessons. It is based on an Apprentice style buying/selling activity. It promotes teamwork and leadership skills but all uses core maths and organisational skills. The 'whole lesson' notebook file explains each step of the process. I found it useful to show the class an episode of 'Young Apprentice' where they complete a similar task.

A carousel lesson for KS1 investigating 2D and 3D shapes. Very interactive activities. Included in the resource are a lesson plan and some shape in the environment images.

A selection of worksheets to use when beginning time in KS2. This looks at how to tell the time in analogue and digital. It also looks at converting between the 12 and 24hr clocks. This is two lessons worth that I taught to Year 4. One of the lessons I was observed OUTSTANDING on.

As part of a 'carnival' themed creative arts week we made our own musical instruments. We based them on sounds from Samba. The children needed to bring in recyclable materials in order to make them and it took a full day! However, the results were excellent!

A great sheet with child friendly questions. It's good to complete before SEN review meetings to help get the child's opinion of how things are going for them.

Great lesson for KS1. There is a landscape image made up of 2D shapes, which ones can you spot? There is also a set of 2D shape matching cards, match the properties to the shape. The extension is a worksheet/activity for finding 2D shapes within the classroom. This was an observation lesson rated OUTSTANDING.

Good to be Green is a fantastic behaviour management resource. I have created this display header in which you can write a whole class behaviour target. This is a good way of creating a whole class focus.

Excellent powerpoint for use with KS2 in teaching Ancient Egypt. The resources explains about the different Gods that the Ancient Egyptians worshipped and also background information for why they worshipped in this way.

A great sheet where each child chooses a target relating to the 5 areas of Investors in Pupils (classroom management, induction, behaviour, attendance, learning). Each week they discuss their target with a buddy and decide if they have achieved it.

If you use star of the week/day or something similar then show off your winner! I laminated this award and it gets attached to the back of the chair of the weekly/daily winner!

Edit for your own class name, laminate and stick on the wall! When a child is ready to use a pen for writing, they can write their name on. A great tool to encourage handwriting skills through positive reinforcement.
