A way to instantly have a meaningful and challenging classroom activity set up for your class to do.

This is a useful tool to use when revising 2D shapes and introducing the correct terminology to use when describing/identifying shapes.

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.

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.

This resource is a script with directions, an information letter for parents as well as a powerpoint for a class to put on a super assembly based on the common world religions festivals and celebrations. It covers Eid, Diwali, Hanukkah and Christmas. If you have a range of religions represented in your school, that is ideal, however, it would also be appropriate for smaller schools who perhaps have less diversity, as the script is easily adaptable.
This is well received by parents, pupils and the school community as it is a super way to celebrate several religious festivals at once.
This could be done at this time of year as a stand alone assembly, or can be undertaken at the end of the accompanying RME planner on World Religions which in turn goes with the Solar System topic planner.
I have also uploaded song words and backing tracks to support this assembly - all of these other resources will be available as a bundle.
