The Five Minute Lesson Plan has been floating around the Twitter-sphere and Blog-sphere for a few months now. I've often looked at it and thought it sounds like a great idea but couldn't see it working practically for me. However, I am now at that moment where I am looking for a different planning format because the one I currently use takes a long time to fill in.
Taking the original plan by @TeacherToolKit, I have adapted it for the primary classroom, adding in a section for Support along the bottom so I can plan in my TA and other adults and where they will be.
You can find my Five Minute Lesson Plan here:
I also wanted something similar to plan whole cross-curricular topics or subjects. So I made a Five Minute Topic Plan which you can find here:
Have you used the #5minplan ? What do you think of these adaptations? Let me know in the comments. Hopefully you can download and edit these yourself in Word!

Tidying The Classroom
Currently I work in a classroom which is long and thin with the interactive whiteboard on one of the long sides. Fitting 34 children into this classroom proves to be a challenge and I am forever moving tables trying to find a set up which "works". Unfortunately I haven't found it just yet!
This Easter holiday, having discovered Pinterest and all the amazingly organised classrooms on there (many of which are from the US), I decided to give my classroom a bit of a make over and a tidy up. I was particularly focused on 3 areas: the "reading corner", my cupboard and the shelves. None of the areas are perfect, but I am quite pleased with how much better they are.
Below are the before and after pictures of each area.
