    2022 was absolutely massive for Mrs Priestley ICT! Reached new heights, smashed goals and was able to create even more resources for teachers across the world!

    In particular, the launch of Planning Course Academy, Model For Me and many other online courses and guides were a massive achievement! These have enrolled over 200 students across the world targeting a wide range of learning areas for teachers to upskill in. 
    Creating these has been a dream come true! Sharing more of my learning, teaching and practice for others to take back into their classrooms for themselves. Something I have been working towards since I first started Mrs Priestley ICT! 
    2023 is going to be even bigger and better! So stay tuned, subscribed and be prepared for even more amazingness for your classroom!

    How to make slime

    Last week I shared a snippet of some slime I did with my class and lots of you asked for the recipe. It was lots of fun and super easy to make. 

    The main ingredients used were white glue, baking soda, shaving cream, food colouring, foam soap and contact solution. I had two students with me at a time making their slime and it took about 5 minutes per group.

    Guess the number?

    4/6/2022

    0 Comments

     
    This week I brought back a class favourite - guess the number! A great game for students to practice place value concepts but also a great guessing game! We play in as a whole class and have students be the 'master' where they think of the number and then choose students to make guesses. Any wrong guesses are placed in the bottom so you can see what numbers have been used already; and then once the right number is chosen it is added to the box. 

    This game is lots of fun and the kids are always obsessed with guessing the right number! Lots of fun competitiveness.

    b and d letter reversal

    4/2/2022

    2 Comments

     
    Do your students get confused between b and d and which why they face? 

    I had this resource requested by a teacher to have a bat and donut - things that match in with her students interests. So I made this letter reversal resource that you can use in your classroom too. 

    The b starts with a bat - so the tall stick first and then the d starts with a donut - so the circle part first.

    Organisation Fridge magnet for kids

    So many people have asked how I made this organisation fridge magnet which I shared over Instagram this weekend. One of our school values is 'be prepared' and I wanted to try help my kiddies achieve success in this area. So I made this table, added in some pictures off Google, printed and laminated then added a magnet. 
    This can be added to their home fridge or blue tacked on their door or in their room! Something easy to create but effective in its purpose! 

    Find the table template below to add in your own pictures - simply upload it to google slides or powerpoint then add on your chosen images and text!

    Stage 1-5 Google forms

    In 2020 over lockdown, I wanted to find a way to keep my kiddies engaged but also focused on their maths. With the way things were, I didn't want to put pressure on families either. So i created these google forms that match up to number strategies within Stage 1-5 of the New Zealand curriculum within Maths. Each google form has 10 questions linked to the strategy, and provides a score and answers they got incorrect. These can be used in lots of different ways in the classroom - as an activity, buddy activity, summative assessment, exit slip, hot spot and more!
    All of these are available for free to use. They aren't editable but are a great activity to include in your classroom. I recently updated these to have them as QR codes for littles who might not be able to type in a bit.ly URL. You can download those free below.

    Sound it out to Space

    NZ$4.00

    Sound it out to Space

    This activity is a great alternative to phoneme box sounding out. It is fun, engaging and hands on with kiddies being able to map out each sound before blending them together. With a space theme, this has phoneme stars with a space background and uses a spaceship/rocket as the moving piece.


    How does it work?

    Kiddies use the phoneme star mat and spaceship. Kiddies use words they have provided by their teacher, and move the spaceship each phoneme star whilst saying it out loud. Then once they get to the blend it star, they blend the sounds together to say the word. For reinforcement, kiddies can then write it down on the recording sheet.


    This resource includes 4 different variation mats for 3/4/5 phoneme words.

    This resource includes 21 pages.


    **It does not include words - teachers are able to use/provide the word lists that best match their kiddies learning and needs.
