The Famous Inventors Project is one that aims to bring Enterprise in Education together with other curricular areas, focusing on S.T.E.A.M. The purpose of the project is for children to learn about Famous Inventors, select a famous and life changing invention to redevelop and design for use in the future then develop and run a mock business to make and market their product. The project culminates in a day of presentations and pitches, allowing the children to demonstrate their learning over the course of the project. This project not only meets many of the experiences and outcomes of the CfE/NC, but can help children develop towards the four capacities, as well as giving a real and relevant context to their learning with a perceivable goal to work towards. This fully comprehensive project pack gives an easy to use, fun and accessible project for upper stage pupils to enjoy. The document is in PDF format and contains 39 pages, including a full planner/assessment tool, teacher's notes and guidance, lesson outlines and directions as well as a set of appendices and handouts to use during the project.

This 32 page resource includes a variety of lessons and activities. It is a comprehensive programme of work to go alongside a class reading of the novel. This is aimed at KS2/Second Level CfE. It has full outlines of each lesson alongside the experiences and outcomes that it each is targeting. There is also an answer key included for the relevant sections. This will be a super time saver for busy teachers.

These assessments have been designed to suit any infant stages at end of year. This provides good information for passing on to next teacher and transition between stages. Also, these can be used by the next stage teacher at the beginning of the year to gauge what the pupils have retained over the summer. The Literacy assessment should be of use to anyone working with a phonics programme, especially with Jolly Phonics. There are also sections for assessing spelling, letter formation, sentence structure, blending and decoding and tricky word recognition. This is fully editable so that if you have taught some different tricky/high frequency words, these can be changed to suit the teaching. The Maths and Numeracy assessment covers the following areas; Number recognition and formation to 20, addition within 20, subtraction within 10, coin recognition, 2D and 3D shape recognition, number words, O'clock times. If you would like any further information please contact me via my shop, especially if you would like to see anything else added. I will be putting online further assessments for this stage that can be used throughout the year as the pupil learning progresses.
