10 short answer questions all about the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Great for use in combination with a series of books on Ancient Egypt and the Pyramids or internet research. Can be used as a review or even an introduction. Take a look at the preview to get an idea of the types of questions contained within.
A question sheet all about the River Nile. Contains 12 questions relating the flooding of the Nile, its uses and its importance. Great for a review of the River Nile. We have a large selection of books about Egypt and the Nile and the children use them as a resource to help them in their answer.
A crossword puzzle for reviewing the process of the water cycle. It’s A3 size so it’s great for pairs or small groups to work together on. You could always print as A4 if needs be though. Available as both an editable DOC and PDF.
There are 28 question in total. Here are a few examples of the clues inside:
A large body of fresh water.
When water flows off a surface.
Water as a solid.
Floating chunks of ice in the sea.
I see how far the children are able to get through it before letting them use their books to help out.
A set of three wheels that have a rotating arrow which starts spinning when you click and stops when you click again. It can be used for selecting random students as well as letters and numbers.
Each spinning wheel is fully editable in Microsoft Powerpoint, so you can add in your own names or other criteria for selecting randomly. The children love it and I usually ask one of them to say when to stop the spin.
A food diary for children to record their diet over the course of a school week. Great for when learning about healthy balanced diets and nutrients. Encourages children to reflect upon their own diet and potentially improve it as a result.
The booklet includes an example page that gives an idea of what is expected. Each day is split into three meals with snacks and include the following questions and starting statements for each:
What did you eat?
How much did you eat?
Was it tasty?
I should have eaten more…
I should have eaten less/fewer…
Do you think your diet was balanced for this day? Why or why not?
The document is fully editable in Word, so you could add extra days or remove as necessary.
A great way to introduce the basics of coding in the classroom - no computers necessary.
The worksheet is made up of an example code that creates a route from the bottom to the top of a grid. There are then 3 further tasks for the children to complete which involve writing the code for the route as well as reading code and colouring the corresponding route.
Extra idea: If you have tiled floors in your classroom or some accessible area of the school, then you can introduce the same concept using children as the players that move along the route. To add extra interest you could blindfold the player!
A full work-through for an experiment on mummifying an apple. Includes the full scientific method from hypothesis through to conclusion.
Great to get some science into a topic about Ancient Egypt. I usually begin the experiment so that a month or so later, it coincides with a look at the mummification process. We also create an Adobe Spark video to explain the way the Egyptians made their mummies.
Extra discussion prompts: What foods to we preserve? How and why do we preserve them? How is this similar to the process of mummification?
This worksheet includes a world map (with country borders), a key for ten places and a compass. Students can use it to help improve their locational geographic knowledge of ten different countries around the world.
Using an atlas (online or traditional) they can find a particular country and then colour it in on the map using the key to identify it. Once completed they can easily cover up the key and use it to self-assess or assess their friends. They can also add the compass directions on at the bottom as a further additional activity.
Students to follow the outline in the document to demonstrate that they can edit font type, font size, font colour and font alignment as well as make words bold, italicised or underlined in Microsoft word:
Simple template for writing a diary. More for use in history as a stand alone diary entry but could be used in literacy as well.

Simple template for students to write a postcard. Lots of potential for creative writing across many subjects!
If you print on card, then students may cut the postcard out and draw a picture on the front.
