Whenever a teacher needs a day off for sickness or a course, it can sometimes feel like more work to not be in school than it is to be in it. I created this document to make leaving my class with a supply teacher easier for all involved. I know how hard supply teachers work and I know how hard it is to walk into a class and not know the children or the timetable. This folder allows you to keep all the crucial information that a supply teacher needs to know about your class. Just edit the document and include everything that a supply teacher could need to know, print it off, put it in a folder and leave it on your desk! I’ve included a supply teacher feedback form in the download so you can be easily updated on how the day went, who behaved, messages you missed etc

Have your children fill in this fun bunting with information about themselves. Makes a great display over the doorway to the classroom or the smartboard. (word doc)

This display is a great way to get the children in your class to stop calling out. It is a simple display that makes it clear that the only time it is okay to ‘blurt’ out is if there is an emergency or someone is unsafe. The rest of the time, they should put their hands up. My kids love this display and often refer each other to it when they do the wrong thing.

Children can be given a mobile phone at the end of the lesson and write a text message to you telling you what they have learnt during the lesson. Plenary assessment
