I used this to introduce the different types of triangles to my Year 5 class. They then had to write their own 'triangular thrillers' for homework. They loved it!

IWB pages for introducing the beginning of a traditional tale and a word bank card double-sided with prompts to support opening and closing sentences for writing your own traditional tale.

Small pictures with key Christmas vocabulary for children to use. Large pictures for teacher use. I used the large ones to play 'Jaques a dit...' Jack says...(or Simon says...) to practice saying and understanding the words. A fun end of term activity!!

IWB pages to support getting ideas for planning own traditional tale. The story cards I used for this I got from Sparklebox. We then made a list of characters, settings, etc that would be a good idea to use in a traditional and those that wouldn't be! The children then planned their own story using the simple structure of beginning, middle and end.

I've used this with years 3 and 4 where I gave them a strip of paper to fold in half and half again. I've also used it as a recap for my top set Year 5 and it worked well. Hope it helps!

I made this PowerPoint to go with our creative writing unit on Michael Morpurgo's 'Kensuke's Kingdom,' bur could be used to get ideas for any imaginative piece of writing on settings. If you click on the first slide the music should start and then each slide with key questions should follow automatically every 15 seconds. Children should then have plenty of time to think about their answers and jot down key words on whiteboards. Hope this helps!

I'm learning Irish at the moment so here's another of my revision sessions turned into a teaching resource! I used the Simpsons to introduce themselves: What do they look like? What sort of people are they? How many people in their family etc. If any more fluent Irish speakers notice any mistakes, please let me know - I'm still just a beginner!!

I'm having to learn Irish at the moment to teach in Ireland, although some Northern Irish schools do Irish as well! So here&'s some of my revision made into a teaching resource!!
