Early Years
With most of our lesson plans there are lots of potential learning outcomes so have a look and choose a few that are most pertinent to the area of learning or topic you want to teach. You can download the lessons and edit them to your needs. Please note these are written in Google Docs so if downloading in Word or as a PDF you may see some formatting errors. Google Docs is available for free to anyone with a Gmail account.
Although we have set these out in year groups have a look at the surrounding year groups as the lesson might suit the children you are teaching.
As ever, your feedback is much appreciated and have fun!
