Great for a display board or side board! Print out the tree, better to enlarge (currently on A4) and then cut out and laminate the tree. I write words on the leaves and we repeat them everyday but you can also ask the children to write their names and decorate their leaves and stick them on and have it as a class tree with everyone's name! Remember to laminate the leaves if you are planning to re-use them! Many ways to use this tree! Hope you like it:)

Great worksheet for students to do to think about equipment, materials, uses and safety aspects.

One Word Learn! Is a brilliant and effective way of getting Secondary students to learn new vocabulary regularly. The PowerPoint is colourful and funky; personalise it with your name! The idea is to introduce 1 new word at the start of each English lesson (could also be used as a house or extra-curricular activity). You would spend about 7-10 minutes, start to finish on this. For each word there are 4 slides: Title slide: Introduces the word. Definition slide: Gives definition of the word from

Great worksheet to teach and show students how to stretch and develop sentences to include the best description and detail possible. Gives examples and explanations and plenty of space designed for students to develop their own sentences. Would take 1 lesson in my experience. Hope you like it!:)

As a mentor, I try to make activities quite personal which does tend to hold the concentration better. This worksheet works really well. Read the unicorn story twice, answer the questions and then answer the other set of questions which is personal choice. i.e. What are you going to name the unicorn? and How old is the unicorn? These are questions with no answers in the story so it allows the children to think on their own and write their answer. Story written by Aiesha Brown and edited by

Really good variety of things to keep form times fun, organised and a good use of time! All slides have detailed notes so you can teach it correctly and edit accordingly. Hope you

I love this resource so much! I write the word of the week on the main train and then break down the word in each carriage and every lesson before we start we break up the word and put it all together or sometimes I put the sounds used in each word for my more advanced students.
