This is a weeks worth of English lessons on the theme of Victorian Workhouses. It is aimed at Year 5 or 6 pupils. I have included a full weekly English plan, smart notebook slides for the week, a planning sheet for the children to use to plan their writing and a high quality modelled write which covers a lot of the main elements Year 6 children are expected to include (a range of sentence types, subordinate clauses in different positions, advanced language). This would be best taught after/ alongside reading the book ‘Street Child’.

This is a great extension after a lesson on the formal written multiplication method. Children have to fill in the missing numbers. Great SATs revision too.

This resource contains 5 recipes for a Victorian Cooking lesson. I split my Year 6 class into 5 groups. Each group cooks a different Victorian dish. Once everyone has finished cooking, we have a Victorian banquet! Parent helpers essential!

I made this resource for my Year 2 class to prepare them for the arithmetic SATs paper. This 'number challenge' starts with number bonds to 10 and 20 then doubles and halves before working through the times tables. I give children 2 minutes to do as many as they can. Once they have completed the challenge twice with 100% they get to move up to the next challenge.

I send these SATs revision sheets out in the last couple of weeks before the SATs. They sum up many of the topic taught this year and help children revise.

These wordy volume problems are set out so they can be printed on sticky labels (7 by 2). I get the children to stick 1 at a time in their books. That way they have plenty of space to do the workings out in the squares of their book. They are sorted by difficulty - challenge 1, 2 and then 3 is the hardest. I put a selection on each table and then the children chose which questions to answer based on how confident they feel.

Here is a full set of start of topic assessments for maths that I made to assess my year 6 class. I get them to do it first at the start of the unit and then again at the end. The questions directly link to the national curriculum and to most online assessment grids.

This is a whole unit of work for Year 6 English lessons on Non-chronological reports. It comprises of 9 lessons and includes the build up to two big writes - one of which I use as a full independent write (assessed piece). The lessons are set up on smart noteboard and each slide contains the outline of the lessons, questions and explanation of activities. I have also created (and included) a modelled write which enables children to see the type of writing that is expected of them in Year 6. The modelled write contains a range of sentence types and high level punctuation.

This is a full unit of work (19 lessons) for English and Guided Reading for a Year 3 class who are exploring the book ‘Stone Age Boy’ by Satoshi Kitamura. All of the slides are prepared on smartnotebook and the unit takes the children through the book using talk for writing strategies. There are lessons on grammar and punctuation, using adjectives, similes and writing descriptions and the lessons build up to the children writing their own version of the story “Bronze Age boy or girl” or “Iron Age boy or girl”.

This is a great activity for year 5 or 6 children to revise ordering a mixture of fractions, decimals and percentages.

This activity could be used with year 5 or 6 children to help them learn how to convert between units of measure and to develop their understanding of decimals and multiplying by 10, 100 and 1000.

This is a collection of my smart note slides that I use for the warm ups to maths lessons for the place value topic. I use 1 or 2 a day and the children answer the questions on their mini whiteboards. Ideal for Year 5/6 or a challenge for year 4.

This is a collection of smart note slides that I’ve made to use as warm ups for maths lessons for year 5 or 6 in the unit of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Some of the slides could be used as teaching aids or whole lessons in themselves.

This is a collection of smart notebook slides which I’ve put together to use as warm ups for my year 6 class for ratio and proportion lessons.

This is a collection of 30 notebook slides that I use with my Year 6 class as warm ups. They are themed for lessons on shape, measures, angles and coordinates.

This is a collection of 19 slides for maths lessons that I use with my Year 6 class as warm ups. These are all based around algebra and cover the key skills that children need to know for their SATs.

This is a collection of over 20 slides with warm ups and teaching promps for Year 5/6 maths fractions, decimals and percentages. I use them at the start of my maths lessons and get my class to answer the questions on their mini white boards.

This pack contains everything you need to teach Just So stories. This is a series of 5 lessons that I use with my Year 6 class. I have included 3 edited just so stories so they are at the appropriate level and contain objectives for Year 6. This pack contains the smart notebook slides for all 5 lessons. The lessons start by analysing the texts and then move on to them planning and writing their own versions of Just So Stories. A planning pro-forma is included as well.

To help my Year 6 children develop their skills for the new arithmetic SATs paper, I have created a weekly 'operation challenge' sheet. The sheets have 8 questions which most children can finish in around 10 minutes. The questions get harder week by week and contain questions on the four operations, decimals, fractions and percentages. There are 25 sheets in this folder.

Parents were always saying that the didn't know what to do with their Year 2 children to help them with maths. So I made these maths homework sheets that I sent home every week. The sheets cover the whole maths curriculum for Year 2. Each sheet has three levels of challenge and I allowed the children choose to complete 1, 2 or all 3 challenges depending on how confident they felt and how much time they had.
