This is a really fun and engaging activity. Children can be set the challenge to find as many words relating to the weather as they can with these wonderful differentiated word searches. Want to save paper, why not print some for a group activity and laminate them so that you can use them time and time again. You could even give children a blank grid and challenge them to make their word search.

This activity is a lot of fun. There are a selection of True or False statement cards (organised into Phase 2, 3, 4 and 5) for children to read. They can then work out if the statements are true or false using what they have learned about reptiles so far. This activity is very versatile, it can be used as a whole class activity, pair work, group work or independent work.

A brilliant PowerPoint to introduce children to floating and sinking and to set them the challenge of a science investigation.

A fantastic resource pack for exploring materials with a fun pirate twist. All of the resources I publish have been tried and tested. The children in my class particularly enjoyed these lessons. Included in this pack: A lesson plan covering 3 lessons Lesson 1 - An introduction to materials with a focus on sorting man-made and natural materials. Lesson 2 - A fun pirate challenge to explore floating and sinking Lesson 2 - Another fun pirate challenge to explore waterproof and absorbent materials. A great follow on to this activity is for children to use their scientific knowledge to make their own pirate ships. Why not have a look at my Design and Technology resource pack to make a pirate ship.

A brilliant PowerPoint to introduce children to waterproof and absorbent materials. It sets a pirate experiment challenge with instructions on how to carry out the experiment.

A fantastic pack of crocodile resources. Included in this pack is: A presentation to identify the differences between fresh water and salt water crocodiles.

Encourage your children to make a play dough pirate ship out of wooden planks, cutlery out of metal and sails out of fabric. A brilliant PowerPoint to introduce children to floating and sinking and to set them the challenge of a science investigation. A brilliant PowerPoint to introduce children to waterproof and absorbent materials. It sets a pirate experiment challenge with instructions on how to carry out the experiment. A planning overview to outline the main activity and listing some independent activity ideas too.

This is a fantastic collection of reptile resources. Included in this pack: Reptile True or False Statements (Differentiated by Phonics Phase) - Children can read the statements and use their existing knowledge of reptiles to identify if the statements are true or false. This resource could also be used as a research stimulus, where children read a statement and then research to find out if it is a true of false statement. Reptile Bingo boards - where children can match pictures with reptile vocabulary Reptile and Mammal Bingo boards - where children can match pictures with reptile and mammal vocab focusing on the features of each. Great for comparing reptiles and mammals. A crocodile presentation - identifying the differences between fresh water and salt water crocodiles. Features of a crocodile labelling worksheet. Crocodile True and False Statements (Differentiated by Phonics Phase) - Children can read the statements and use their existing knowledge of crocodiles to identify if the statements are true or false. This resource could also be used as a research stimulus, where children read a statement and then research to find out if it is a true of false statement.
