The resources that I am sharing I have used successfully as a Primary Tutor to develop learning, understanding and confidence with individual students. They can also be used for group work. To keep my teaching skills sharp and to continue to develop my understanding of the curriculum, I also work as a Supply Teacher. Before becoming a Tutor I was a Senior Leader in a large Primary school holding the position of Assess Co-ordinator; I have also been a Year Leader and a SENCO.

Spring Haiku

An explanation of haiku and an example given. The students then write their own haiku. Students who are confident readers will be able to complete the whole activity independently. In my experience, once students have grasped the concept, they love to write these three line, 17 syllable poems.

I created this resource for one of my individual students who was studying The Titanic as a class project and wanted to know more. He used two copies of the titanic template to create a ‘lift the flap’ information board based on his independent research.

The writing prompt also includes a useful strategy to encourage students to independently edit and develop their writing.

I created this resource for an individual student who was asking about remembrance poppies. The student is not a confident reader so I wrote short statements and instructions are given for the students to follow so that at the end of the activity a poppy and a leaf is cut out and glued correctly onto a coat template. The students are also encouraged to add their own thoughts and facts about Remembrance Day.
STRAIGHT LINES TO CURVED LINES

STRAIGHT LINES TO CURVED LINES

(3)
I have memories of completing this activity at school - we would use a template or draw our own axis to draw straight lines to matching the numbers. (In the example, I used 1 to 1 but the blank template can be adapted to use any times table eg; 1 to 4, 2 to 8). The third activity is based around a circle template and initially the students draw a line to every fifth number before being encouraged to experiment with other numbers to make a variety of impressive shapes. As a child we used to do this activity using card and embroidery thread and create pictures using 'curved stitching'. The activity is also useful for developing fine motor skills.
Link the Words

Link the Words

(0)
This activity uses high frequency words and encourages the individual student to read the words and then write their own sentence. As they use the word the student shades the box the word is in. As a challenge the student can try to use words that are touching the last word they used so that the words link. I have used this activity successfully with a student who is a reluctant writer.
