I have worked in both KS2 and KS1 as class teacher and am also English Leader in KS1. For the last 5 years, I have been teaching in Y2, which gave me plenty of ‘SATs experience’. However, I have been trying to ensure that the skills children need to apply in their SATs are linked to everyday life experiences and have applied them as much as I could to our topics, in order to avoid 'teaching to the test'. I really value your feedback on my resources. Happy browsing!

UEFA EURO 2024 Germany - 7 Activities - Maths, English, Geography

(0)
Here some resources I made for my class for the upcoming UEFA EURO 2024 in Germany. This pack includes: A two pages long information sheet with facts about the past, this year’s games and the mascot. This could be used for research (individually or whole class) when making posters/leaflets etc. A 4 pages long comprehension based on the fact sheet. The text is on the top half of the sheet and questions are below for children to answer. It is differentiated in a higher and a lower comprehension - one with mostly retrieval and one with retrieval and some inference questions. A geography worksheet for mapping countries in Europe that take part. Children can choose 12 countries, find them on the map and make a key. If you wanted to differentiate it, you could print it out twice and fill in the key for one already. I would recommend copying the map on A3 paper to make it easier for children. Maths sheet on bar charts: Children read the table of who was in the final in the past and what their results were and make a bar chart of how many goals were scored in each final throughout the years and answer some challenge questions about it. Differentiated - one is more scaffolded and the bar chart has been prepared, the other needs children to label their own bar chart (differentiated in bar charts going up in 1s, 2s, 5s). There is also another sheet where children choose 5 countries and represent in a bar chart how many times each country has participated in the final. Maths activity on finding all possibilities: Differentiated three ways. Children have the task of designing a new football kit for their favourite country and have to choose three (four) colours. They then find all possible ways of putting a new kit consisting of either shorts and t-shirt or shorts, t-shirt and socks together for their chosen colours. This activity comes with a notebook file to model. This is an activity based on the flags of the participating countries in the EURO 2024 in Germany. There is one sheet with all the names of the countries and their flags which is followed by 4 activity sheets: Comparing two flags. Children choose two flags, draw them and compare them - what is the same and what is different. Sorting the flags into symmetrical and non-symmetrical. A blank Venn diagram for children to make up their own categories to sort the flags into (if you want to differentiate you could give them the categories). A blank Carroll diagram for children to make up their own categories to sort the shapes into (if you want to differentiate you could give them the categories). Maths - Adding several numbers (single digit, multiples of 10/100 and adding several two-digit numbers - differentiated) using several top UEFA EURO ‘24 footballers’ names printed on the sheet. Enjoy!

UEFA EURO 24 Maths - Adding several numbers - differentiated

(0)
Here are 6 differentiated worksheets (2 pages each) that I made for my class to relate maths learning to the UEFA Euro 24 in France. On each sheet, the letters of the alphabet are printed at the top and each letter has a value. Then there are pictures of important players and children then have to work out the total of the names of the footballers. There are three sheets designed for applying mental strategies to work out name scores: -WALT add using mental strategies: Adding single-digit numbers using basic number bonds. WALT add using mental strategies: Adding several multiples of 10. WALT add using mental strategies: Adding several multiples of 100. There are three more differentiated sheets, where children can apply the column method( ie on a mini whiteboard) for addition to work out the score of each name: WALT add several two-digit numbers (each individual number below 30). WALT add several two-digit numbers (each individual number below 50). WALT add several two-digit numbers (each individual number below 100). The children then work out their own names’ scores and compare them to the footballers :) Attached as word (editable) and PDF. PLEASE NOTE: This is only one resource.

King Charles III Coronation - Maths Problem Solving Activity

(0)
This is a great resource for children to use for maths when we celebrate the King’s Coronation. All you need to do is add the prices depending on your year group’s needs (and differentiate it for different groups) and then children work on word problems (mostly addition and multiplication) about party planning with Coronation Merchandise… There are also two group tasks centred around what food and drinks to serve if you would like a more open ended activity; one where children decide what to buy for how many people and find the total and one activity where children plan on a budget you give them and have to figure out what they can get for the amount they have. Again, just add the prices to make it appropriate for the age group you teach. I hope that works - feedback very welcome, have already acted upon feedback and improved the resource. I also included a powerpoint about Buckingham Palace - interior and exterior - to show children what it looks like and to get an idea of HRH’s life. The powerpoint is not maths based, however, it gives you an idea of what the rooms look like, what the staff at the Palace do when they put on a meal and has some of the worksheet at the end for introducing the children to party planning etc.

End of Year Activity - Summer Holiday Bucket List

(0)
Originally designed for lower primary (Year 1-3), this resource is a great way to get children to think about what they want to do in the holidays. They have 9 sentence starters eg On a rainy day I want to… On a hot day I want to … To keep learning I want to… and they have to make their own bucket list for the holidays. It could be adapted for higher year groups. Also a little pattern puzzle activity whereby each child gets to design a tile and it can be put together as a class piece of art work.

Retrieval questions Multiple choice questions Colouring in Cinderella comprehension with challenge question and sentence to unscramble. For the top two, part of the sentence is in bold which they have to use as sentence starter for their answer to encourage them to answer in full sentences. VERY BASIC SLIDE ON NOTEBOOK TO INTRODUCE Speech/Thought bubble activity Children work in mixed ability on these four scenarios again to fill in thought and speech bubbles. Could be acted out in partners too. Not differentiated. Up-leveling Short activity - improving 6 sentences. Differentiated by outcome - children follow the steps to the step they can get to. Correcting mistakes Children proofread sentences where is/are and him/her are not correct and edit them. For children who cannot access this there is a second activity about unscrambling sentences about Cinderella. Sequencing Pictures Activity Not differentiated. Children can cut and stick pictures in the correct order and label/annotate/write sentences.Great for EAL. Grammatically correct sentences. This activity is based on a Pie Corbett game. You start with challenge 1 and make a sentence with just one word. Then move on to challenge 2 and add a second word, so now you have to use both words in a sentence. Then you add a third, non-related word and children have to come up with a grammatically correct sentence and use their imagination to add write a new sentence this time using all three words. Identifying speech and adding speech marks. In a small group or in partners children read following Cinderella text. They work out together which bits are spoken by the characters, then underline what is spoken. Next they re-write in their book and put the spoken sentence which they underlined inside speech marks “_____”.

A very quick worksheet on a powerpoint that printed in A3 will allow children to map the 32 participating countries - there is a key at the bottom with numbers so children can colour in the country and instead of writing its long name, just number it. powerpoint can be used as lesson starter as all countries are listed again there (with their flags) and a political world map is attached for explaining how to map.

COMPREHENSION This is a comprehension I made for my year 4 class. There are three different sets: one that can be used like a booklet, where the text and questions are on the same page with mostly retrieval questions one where the text is separate to the questions and questions are a mix of retrieval and more higher order including vocabulary one where the text is separate to the questions and questions are varied from giving evidence from the text to vocabulary questions etc. I think it can be used with high year 2 as well as KS2. The actual information text is attached as reading sheet. Both in word and PDF MATHS This resource consists of the following five mostly differentiated activities related to the World Cup: Problem-solving lesson with notebook and 3 differentiated sheets. Children design new football kit for their favourite national team consisting of tshirts, shorts (and socks) and find all possibilities of combining them when using 2 (3) colours. Bar chart lesson. Children use data from a Workd Cup table and put it into a bar chart. Differentiated. First bar chart in ones up to 6 and children enter amount of world cups won by different nations. Second bar chart in twos up to 6 and children enter amount of world cups won by different nations. Third bar chart in tens up to 230 where children enter amount of goals scored in world cups for several nations. All bar charts have at least 5 follow-up questions. First two probably more suited to KS1, last one to KS2. Symmetry activity. Children use pictures of flags of all participating teams which are included and sort them into symmetrical and not symmetrical. Included is another sheet on explaining our reasoning - choose two non-symmetrical flags - what would need to be changed so they are symmetrical, explain. Sorting Activity: Children use pictures of flags of all participating teams which are included and sort them using their own criteria into a Venn or Carroll diagram. A quick activity on comparing two flags - how are they the same and how are they different. One activity where children use information on who won the world cup when and put the countries in chronological order by year. One scaffolded sheet and one not scaffolded. All activities attached as word and pdf files in case the word files don’t open properly. I SELL BOTH SEPARATELY AS WELL IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAVE MONEY.
