Primary Scheme Planner from Text
This generator will help you devise a series of lessons on a particular subject by taking some text as its main source. This is particularly useful when you want to use a curriculum specification specification, in which case you can open the webpage or document and copy the the relevant text, then paste it into the generator so that TeacherMatic can align the result with the requirements. Keywords: Primary; Lessons: Scheme; Planner; Pattern; Curriculum; Text; Specification;

Primary Lesson Plan
This generator will draft a plan for your lesson. In addition to the main title of the session It also takes into account particular topics you want to cover, and the age of your pupils. You should tell TeacherMatic how long the lesson should last, and you can (if you wish) focus on a specific cross curricular skill, which is useful if you want to include particular curriculum needs. Keywords: Primary; Lesson: Session ; Planner; Pupils; Ages; Teach;

Primary Child-led ideas
Allowing pupils to take the lead on their own learning can be enabling and exciting. The Forest School movement encourages this approach, as do some in Montessori education. This generator can draft scenarios in which your pupils help to guide their own learning journey, while you just provide resources and advice and help if needed. We recommend you research the subject of child-led learning for yourself before using this generator. Keywords: Primary; Child-led; Forest School; Scenario; Own;

Primary Give Me a Hint
You know that moment when a pupil brings up a topic they’d like to discuss, or something they’ve seen in the news?

This generator can give you a few clues about how to tackle unexpected topics when they arise. Keywords: Primary; Concern; Worry; Help; Guidance; Unexpected; Support; Sensitive; News;

Primary Worksheet
Worksheets can be a useful activity to help reinforce knowledge and to gauge learning. TeacherMatic offers a way to draft a worksheet on any subject. Choose various types of activities to include in the worksheet, or let TeacherMatic select them. TeacherMatic results are text based, so you will probably want to copy or export the draft into a format in which you can edit the layout, and you may want to add pictures to make the worksheet engaging.
