This is a Space themed assembly, designed for two Year 5 classes, complete with script and presentation. The assembly was designed for a 30-40 minute time slot.
The script can easily be adapted to suit any class size.
Please find attached a format for a Stunning Start based around a sustainable fashion unit (Year 5). It comes complete with success criteria and templates.
This Year 5 Non-Chronological Report Activity was designed around the theme of Space.
As a class we revisited the key features of non-chronological reports, and decided which features would make it onto our success criteria (page 2). This was done using the Hexagonal Thinking grid on the IWB (page 3).
Learners then worked in pairs to create their own planets and discuss what details they should include in their non-chronological reports, using the hexagonal thinking grids (page 4).
Finally, the non-chronological report was planned using page 1 and 2 of the planning document.
A fully editable resource, you can either share the template with your learners on Canva or PowerPoint. Initially used for a rocket/design and launch in Year 5, the template contains the follow:
Student Name and Name of Rocket
Frame for student to insert a picture of their rocket (with labels to explain their design.
An area to explain Newton’s 3 laws of motion.
An area to input the forces that act upon a rocket.
An area to explain how much water they used in their rocket and why.
An area for a prediction
An area for a materials list
An area for evaluation
A rubric for assessment.
This resource was made to introduce the topic of Future Cities for Year 5. It includes:
Presentation
Graphic Organiser
Research task
The resource begins by exploring the key considerations when designing a city (you can replace the information on the Whoa slide, with an article from your locality).
Then the learners undertake a reading task using a bespoke text set created on NewsELA, they will record their findings in the graphic organiser.
For the final task, learners will carry out a research task based on future cities currently being conceptualised. Videos and reading materials are inserted to help, as well as a handy glossary. Assessment rubric is also provided.
All designs were intended to be edited as a template on Canva. So, if this is something you would also like to do, please just import the materials.
This differentiated ‘Baking with Fractions’ resource was used in Year 5 to support the learning of White Rose Math’s Fractions B. It has a fun, practical activity followed by a word problem extension.
It includes:
Multiplying unit fractions by whole numbers
Multiplying non-unit fractions by whole numbers
Using Fractions as operators
Some conversion of improper fractions to mixed numbers.
This interactive Space display idea (kind of a lesson in a display) for Year 5 comes with an editable ppt for printing. The display is focused on the question ‘How far is each planet from the sun?’
Learners will first select the 8 planets from a basket (these were to-scale painted styrofoam/polystyrene balls that the Year 5s created). Each planet has velcro stuck to the reverse.
Then they will then use the scale and a ruler to estimate where each planet will go on the velcro strip stretching from the sun to the end of the display board. (The sun was made out of yellow paper for the purposes of display, and the scale can be edited on the ppt).
Next, they will place the planet labels on the velcro strip underneath the planets.
Using an tablet or other device, learners will then scan the QR code to get the answers. An example QR code has been provided on the ppt, and an edited answer table on slide 7.
Following on from that (and dependent on your schools technology policy), the children were then required to take a picture, upload it to Padlet and answer the question ‘what suprised you?’
Finally, they would return all the equipment back to the start for the next users.
Rubric to support KS3/KS4 PETAL (Point, evidence, technique, analysis, link) writing on effect and emotive language in text analysis. The link is made back to readers emotions.
Can be adapted to support link back to question where needed.
The attached documents formed part of a video project for Year 5 history. Learners had to research one of the mistakes in the infographic, then complete the planning sheet and use green screen technology to produce a video. The rubric is also included.
This is a full unit with video and worksheet links, for a unit titled ‘How does our Culture and Community affect our Wellbeing?’
Originally created for a P5 class, this resource can be easily adapted to suit your needs. Activities include:
What concepts live here? (Bolt Mapping)
Exploring human Body Systems
Investigating the impact of community and culture on Native Americans and Aboriginal Australians.
Geography of America and Australia and impact on choices.
Building a circulatory system
Energy in Food Practical
Creating a Health App
Whats on our plate? Culture comparison
Publishing a food Blog/PSA.

This activity was originally created for Google Classroom, using an article from First News. However, it is fully editable to be used in class with child friendly magazines.
Included in this resource is a fully editable activity, as well as associated rubric.
Introduce making inferences to upper KS2, with this engaging and interactive lesson.
In this fully editable presentation, have fun adding pictures of teacher’s shoes. Then, use the editable activity 1 to get students engaged in inferencing (this can be used in small groups).
Once activity 1 has your class begging to find out more about inferencing, you can use activity 2 (suggested to print on A3) for students to practice their skills. A rubric is provided for assessment.
Enjoy!

Primarily aimed at grade 5, in an international setting, this resource is focused on the Science and Social Studies elements of a unit titled “How does our culture and community affect our wellbeing?.”
As well as teacher presentations, this resource includes links to resources and rubrics used to assess the unit. The topics covered are:
The Human Body
North America (Indigenous)
Australia (Aboriginal)
5 Book Week activities for use with Save Me a Seat by Gita Varadarajan and Sarah Weeks, originally created for P5. These activities were used in English, PSHE and Geography lessons throughout the week. However, we also made candy houses to integrate our Science topic of Structures and Forces.
Please click on the links in the PPT to access the resources.
Made for use in Google Slides with P5 learners, this lesson allows students to understand the impact of religion on the individual, community and society.
It will start by exploring the subtle differences between community and society, before asking learners to identify the communities and societies they belong too.
Learners will then explore ‘what is a worldview?’ and decide what impacts their own worldview. Culminating in a creation of their own worldview stories.
Finally, students will look at worldviews from the perspective of different religions, and explore their impact on the individual, community and society.
Resources have been adapted for P5, with some options for differentiation. The download will be in ppt format, however can easily be uploaded to Google Drive for use as an interactive lesson.
Some resources are adapted from RE:Online.
