Children will use this frame to help them develop ideas about a new character. I used this after the children created characters using the ‘draw, fold and switch’ method. They stuck their characters onto the sheet and then wrote details about the character they had created. There are 3 different versions of the sheet - a really fun way to promote creative, detailed writing.

This is a pack I created to support the balance and motion unit. The children went on a trip to a park so that they could use a slide, swing and see-saw to investigate forces. There are also additional activities included such as designing a front cover and a word search. This could easily be used in school provided the equipment was available and although I used this with Grade 1 (who were an extremely able class) this could be used up to Year 4. A great resource!!

A worksheet consisting of a range of multiplication sums which require different mental strategies in order to solve. Strategies include inverse, multiplying by 10, partitioning and compensation. A resource that was used for higher ability independent math work in Year 3. Could be used for focused group teaching or lower abilities in Years 4 and up. This could also be given as pre or post unit assessments.

2 differentiated worksheets for use in the teaching of data handling. Children should use the graph to answer questions and create their own questions.

I used this resource with a year 3/4 class when introducing the concept of line graphs. This is a great way to get the children to understand trends before actually having to plot or read graphs. The children create their own ‘graph story’ by looking at the data and coming up with a feasible explanation of what might have happened to create the data. Comparing ideas was also fun!

A grid of activities to complete with given spelling words. A great resource for KS2.

A simple sheet I used in Kindergarten (ESL children) where they had to estimate which container would have the biggest/smallest capacity, then measure by counting cups of water to fill each container. A fun activity to reinforce capacity.

This is a fun 39 slide PowerPoint focusing on Christmas traditions from 5 different countries. There is information and photos ending with a quiz, wordsearch and a task for students to complete. Could be used as a complete lesson or a time filler towards the end of term. Enjoy!

This is a back to school/New school year activity to promote talk and collaboration. The aim is that students go around and talk to other members of the class in order to find someone to fit each category. There are 2 differentiated versions - both editable.

This is a 14 slide PPT lesson introducing idioms. There are some examples included as well as 3 tasks for the students to complete.

This resource contains 5 slides with wordsearches based on different parts of speech (prepositions of place, common nouns, action verbs and adjectives. The aim is for the students to find the words based on the picture/animation. This resource can be used as a recap, time filler or can be used in combination with the ‘What is Missing?’ resource available in my shop. This can be used with KS1 and 2, and also would be great for ESL students. Enjoy!

Here are 14 example report card comments for year 3/4 or grade 3 students. These are for English/ELA and are differentiated. They can be combined to better reflect the students you are teaching.

Here are some sample end of year report comments to be used with a year 3 class (could be easily adapted up or down). The comments cover reading, writing, speaking and listening and are differentiated. Enjoy resting your brain!
