This is a comprehensive forward plan for first level literacy which includes resources, CFE experiences and outcomes and group differentiation. This has been written for Primary Four but is easily adapted and edited to suit any stage working at first level.
This topic planner and display resources are for use with a cross curricular study with a focus on Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K Rowling.
All of the signs and display material requires the font Harry P to be downloaded onto your computer if they are on Word format. I have made a number of posters to explain and showcase the pupils work, in line with suggested lessons in the forward plan. I have now uploaded all display posters as PDFs to enable printing of font without downloading it, excepting any that would require ability to edit.
If anyone wishes to have a look at my classroom please check out Pinterest/pammyc88/Harry Potter Classroom 2016.
This has been one of the most successful full on cross curricular topics I have done to date in my teaching career and is absolutely loved by all the pupils.
UPDATE: I have added in a template in for ‘A Hogwarts Ghost Story’ to the pack as well as a template for using for sending pupils their Hogwarts letters, a set of acrostic poem templates and a final quiz.
This booklet is designed to be used during the busy December month, when often it is difficult to keep the pupils engaged and still learning!

The booklet has the following worksheets and tasks:
Design a new toy

This tricky word game is great for independent work stations and early finishers in class. Giving practice and reading and pronouncing tricky words and having fun while learning!

This activity book has been designed for KS1/First level pupils to go alongside reading the abridged or child friendly version of the story. With my own class this was also used in conjunction with putting on a short play of the story.
For younger/less able pupils, the booklet can be worked through together as a class, with support given for follow up work or done independently with more able or older pupils, following each teaching and discussion or reading session.
Contents include:
Scrooge Character Description
Comparison of Present and Past
Design a Christmas Card from Scrooge
Write a new Christmas Carol/Song

These booklets are designed for using for homework tasks related to reading and spelling. One booklet is for personal reading or school directed reading records and reviews. The other is for using the Look, Cover, Say, Write and Check method for setting spelling homework.

I have designed this music topic pack with the intention of covering various aspects of music education, along with the ability to include this within an integrated curricular planner. This topic brings ICT in throughout as well as easily lending itself to the inclusion of various other curricular areas, such as language, social studies, science, design & technology, ICT, drama, P.E. and art.
This pack would be particularly beneficial if used in conjunction with a topic on the weather/seasons/nature. Elements could also be linked in well to a topic on Europe. Although some of the lessons may appear to be more ICT based than music, the aim is that the children expand their experience in all areas of music while using new technology. Some of the lessons are more traditionally musically based than others, but each one will provide a beneficial learning experience for the children. They are going to be gaining experience in a range of skills and abilities, such as playing instruments, composing, listening and discussing, working collaboratively, using music as an inspiration for other areas, being able to identify techniques used in music to portray different moods and images.
These three activities and worksheets are a great way to start back with your class in the new term. Suitable for KS2/Second Level, with some elements being suitable for younger pupils with support.
Activities:
New Year Story starter/assessment - this story starter covers elements of VCOP and imaginative writing, giving pupils a chance to write in a genre of their choice, based on New Year's Eve.
Highlights of 2016 - a worksheet set out like a poster of polaroid photos, pupils can draw four of their favourite moments of the past year and caption them. This has been created for A3 size.
New Year Learning and Personal Resolutions - pupils can set both learning and personal targets and resolutions for the coming year, with space for them to detail why they have chosen this resolution and how they intend to achieve it.
All worksheets are on PDF.
16 Language/Literacy and 6 Maths activity cards for either lesson starters or early finishers. The sheets can be printed and laminated so that pupil's can help themselves for independent continuation of work in class. These are also editable for making extra/different cards.
This board game is a fun way for children to practice their phonic blending skills.
Excellent for an early finisher activity or as a station in carousel learning environment.
Print both pages onto A3 and laminate. The spinner needs a split pin, and the game will require a dice and up to four counters (or similar game pieces).
