The Teaching Deputy

Average Rating4.19
(based on 67 reviews)

Hello, thank you for looking around my shop. I am a teaching deputy head teacher, with 16 years of experience, who works in a rural primary school. I know how wearing many hats can eat into your time but understand how important excellent resources are for engaging pupils so they make accelerated progress. I have included lots of free resources in my shop but placed a small charge for resources which have taken me many hours to create. I hope you enjoy them and use them to motivate your pupils.

Synonyms for Said Word Mat (64 words)

(0)
This is a great resource for improving the quality of pupil's writing. I use it for all non-fiction pieces that require dialogue. This allows pupils to add inferences into their writing which gives their characters more depth subtly. The usual word of said is no longer used as pupils upscale their word choices making their writing even more engaging.

PALL Analysis

This is a something I get the pupils to complete before they write to focus their minds on why, what and for who they are writing. It also includes a larger version for display on a working wall. Purpose - What does the writing aim to do? Persuade, advise, inform, explain, describe analyse, review, comment or instruct? Audience - Who is the text written for? Your teacher, friends, parents, head teacher or younger pupils. Language - Consider the formality of the piece. Is it a formal or informal? What tense is it written in; 1st person (I), 2nd person (you) or 3rd person (he/she/they). What types of words or phrases are being used? Technical, scientific, descriptive, informative, factual, emotive, serious or humorous. What linguistic devices are being used? Fact, opinion, rhetorical questions, hyperbole (exaggeration), irony, anecdote or puns. Layout - How is the text presented? Headlines, sub-headings, slogans, bullet points, diagrams, captions or in columns.

It is a great resource to assess how well your grammar sessions are going and adapt your planning accordingly. I have included a mark scheme as well as the test.
English - Word Wheels Warm Up Game 9 Letters

English - Word Wheels Warm Up Game 9 Letters

(0)
This is a fantastic resource I made for improving spelling during morning activities. There are 20 different 9 letter words which are placed in a wheel. One of the letters is put in the middle, which has to be used in every word. Pupils then try to make 3 letter or more words. I score it by allowing the pupils 5 minutes to find words. They get 9 points for the 9 letter word and 8 points for 8 letter words etc. Pupils read their word out and if no one else has got it they get the points. Everyone who gets the 9 letter word gets 9 points, even if someone else gets it too. Each slide has a clue what the 9 letter word is. The next slide always reveals what the 9 letter word is.

Writing Below Age Related Expectation Assessment Tracking Sheet

Writing Below Age Related Expectation Assessment Tracking Sheet

(0)
This is an assessment sheet I have designed which has the whole of the primary curriculum for writing. It is broken down into different domains: • Transcription • Handwriting • Composition & Effect • Text Structure & Organisation • Sentence Structure • Vocabulary, Grammar and Punctuation I use this to assess the progress of pupils working below age related expectations to prove accelerated progress. At the beginning of each year you mark or highlight where they start in each domain and regularly update it throughout the year as the pupil makes progress. The next year a new teacher uses a different colour. The assessment sheet prints out best on a double sided A3 piece of paper.
