Teacher lesson feedback and relfection sheet! Handy for all teachers and studnet teachers <3

These task sheets are based on the AMAZING book"You’re A Star" by Poppy O’Neill. I plan on focusing on one page during circle time and then asking the children to complete the corresponding task sheet back at their desk with some mindful music playing. I got mines in “The Works” for £2.99 during my PGCE this year, here’s a link to it on amazon for just £3.00 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Youre-Star-Childs-Guide-Self-Esteem/dp/1786852357. I based my tasks on the activities in the book. About the book- "This practical guide combines proven cognitive-behavioural therapy methods used by child psychologists in schools with simple activities to help your child grow their self-esteem. It’s aimed at children aged 7–11 because a lot happens in these years that can impact a child’s sense of self-worth, not just now but for years to come. Your child will be guided, with the help of Bop – a friendly and supportive character they can identify with – through fun and engaging activities which are interspersed with useful tips, inspirational statements and practical information for parents."

Easter Starter- to welcome kids back after the break :)

CIRCLE TIME STARTER QUESTIONS!!! • During my placements, I found myself absolutely obsessed with having lessons on the carpet area. I found the engagement was much higher and it was less formal for the kids. • From that I also LOVED a bit of circle time as daily check-ins with the kids, I made these handy circle time starter questions which allow the children to make decisions and give the reasoning for their answers. These questions (although some are a bit crazy) I found the children really began to develop their talking skills when asked to give reasoning of their choices. These cards also will really let me get to know my class and will be a handy day fillers too! • I got the idea from my Key Stage 1 placement teacher and a document she had printed from Twinkl!!

I need to take 5, my head needs a break, when I come back inside, I am sure I’ll feel great!

“Nevertheless We Persisted”- This is my take on a “Wow work wall” I love this saying and can’t wait to teach persistence to my class! My idea is that under this heading I will display a range of the children’s work of utter effort & determination not just work that is commonly seen as “the best”. Each child has their own definition of “the best” that they can produce and I can’t wait to honour all of those abilities groupings.

During my first term of teacher training, I struggled with the concept of the importance of a lesson plenary. With research, I discovered that a good plenary has the ability to highlight not only the good parts of my lessons but the common misconceptions within the class surrounding the topic. In short, I found it is the student’s way of assessing my teaching informally! • I made these clipboard plenary’s with placement Nóra in mind, if I had these during my teacher training it would have been very easy for me to quickly grab one and ask the children contribute. • Credit to my lecture for the majority of these ideas! I just took ideas I had been shown or heard classmates talk about and designed them on mini clipboards and added clipart so they could be accessible to the children too. • This pack comes with 23 cards in PDF format! •

VISUAL TIMETABLE

“MINI MINDFULNESS MOMENTS” Handy brain breaks for lesson transitions. • Keeping the children’s mental wellbeing positive in school is a main priority for me, little tasks like these throughout the day should help them clear their heads before the next lesson! • Loads of love & don’t forget to take your own little mindfulness moment today and every day • I have to give credit to my lectures, fellow PGCE students and Twinkl for some of the ideas but the majority of these amazing ideas I got from the Tes account @yesmissdaniel such a beautiful FREE resource available on her Tes shop if you would rather a different design definitely check her out
