A simple reading record sheet to record daily readers.

Chirstmas Around the World assembly and script. Written to be teacher-led but could be adapted to be child-led. The first country is the UK as it was written for an international school, but this could be removed for UK schools. Contains facts about UK, Italy, Mexico and Spain as well as a quiz.

Display cards for a '100 Book Challenge' - where children race to be the first to have read 100 books! Each level could have a prize (for example, a bookmark/pencil/magazine/book token etc.) The books are for the names of the children in the class; I printed them on coloured card and then wrote on them.

When marking books, I note down all the children into the appropriate columns: Green: if they clearly understood the lesson content Amber: if they mostly understood the lesson, perhaps with a few errors Red: if they struggled with the content This allows for quick intervention the following day for any children who fall into the 'red&' category. http://teach-alessonlearnt.blogspot.co.uk

In my classroom I have 'Challenge Boxes&', small plastic boxes which I place on the tables during lessons with an extension or challenge task in them. I made these labels to decorate the boxes - colour co-ordinated to our table groups (blue/red/orange/green/purple)

Self-explanatory really - a daily to-do list for busy teachers! http://teach-alessonlearnt.blogspot.co.uk
