This bundle made up a whole half term of Science in my teaching! It consists of several lessons focusing on rocks, then two linking lessons about fossils, and can (optionally) finish with evolution in the form of a lesson about inheritance. Enjoy!

This bundle contains three individual lessons teaching children how to write different styles of poetry; acrostic, limerick, rhyming. Each lesson I used linked to the class cross-curricular theme at the time (e.g pirates, the human body, water) but each can easily be adapted to link with your theme. Each lesson pack contains a lesson presentation, allowing you to teach, model and challenge each poetry skill, and a worksheet for children to brainstorm their vocabulary ideas, before writing their poetry formally into their books.

These seven lessons cover a fun and engaging half-term topic on Plants. Learning objectives cover: The parts of a plant Photosynthesis Plant lifecycle Plant growth (soil) Seed dispersal (reproduction) The resource pack also includes ideas for an interactive and engaging classroom or corridor display!

A handy bundle of seven lessons covering all elements of teaching time, from telling the time to solving problems involving time.

A collection of six reading comprehension activities using real life newspaper articles. Each contains a copy of a newspaper article suitable for KS2 (new species of spider / Pangaea / blizzard / Remembrance Day / St Andrews Day/ Hedgehog preservation / Fifa Poppies) and questions that I have made myself to test their comprehension of the articles. 03/07/16 - UPDATED TO INCLUDE MOUNTAIN REPTILE ARTICLE

In this bundle are 11 of my favourite individual recount themes that I’ve used in my teaching career to develop children’s writing skills. Each uses a brilliant animation or film resource to engage the children and each has a particular writing skill focus (e.g. description, tense, sentence structure). I hope you enjoy using them as much as I do!

A bundle of Literacy recount lessons based on famous Christmas adverts from the last few years (e.g. John Lewis, Sainsburys). Children really engage with these as they have seen them at home, because they are emotive or funny, and because they are so well made - like a mini film!
