Comprehension for KS2 on head lice (nits).

(0)
Comprehension designed to be used with a lower ability year 5 class, but could easily be adapted for all of KS2. Made to raise awareness of nits as an issue and how to get rid of them properly. Updated edition. Image is taken from Google and I do not own copyright. Resource and questions written by myself.
Multiplication review (or lesson worksheet) with greater depth questions.

Multiplication review (or lesson worksheet) with greater depth questions.

(0)
A resource that begins with 2x2 digit multiplication, then moves on to 3x2 digit and finally 3x3 digit. At the end there are three greater depth questions involving finding missing numbers using reasoning skills and finally a self assessment traffic light. A fantastic resource to assess learning at the end of the unit, as a revision lesson, for HAP as a task during lesson or to assess prior knowledge before beginning a unit. Also available with the answers. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/multiplication-review-or-lesson-worksheet-with-greater-depth-questions-with-answers-11784163
Investigative Addition and Subtraction Mercedes Challenge.

Investigative Addition and Subtraction Mercedes Challenge.

Differentiated three ways. The children are given a brochure for Mercedes with differentiated products (e.g. leather seats, sat-nav etc.) and how much each item costs. Children must use their budget to customise their car with the things they would like. The aim is to get as close to their budget as possible, without going over it. Great activity to engage children, can be done in pairs or individually. Prices can be easily adapted and other items added or removed to further differentiate as needed. Makes a fantastic lesson and has been used with Ofsted/observations to great results!
FUN Times table card game.

FUN Times table card game.

(0)
A great resource for those spare five minutes at the end of a lesson or as a starter task. Children have a selection of playing cards, half with a sum (such as 2x3) and half with an answer (6). The children spread them out face down and select two at random. If they make a pair, they get to keep them. Player with the most number of cards wins. This pack contains all the times tables from 2-9. Best laminated if intending to use multiple times.
Fantastic shared/guided reading/comprehension game.

Fantastic shared/guided reading/comprehension game.

(0)
This is an excellent way to engage children in a reading/comprehension lesson. Each child has one of each card (can be laminated back to back to use again and again). The teacher (or another child) will make a claim about the text. For example: In this chapter, Harry and Ron dislike each other. The children must then take a minute to decide if this is true or not. If it IS true, the children will hold up their cards with the agreement side showing. If it IS NOT true, they will show the objection side. The teacher will then select a child at random (could use random name generator or lollipop sticks with names on etc.) to discuss which card they are showing and why. Opens up a great discussion as children will often disagree and can they debate their suggestions. Make it very clear to the children from the beginning that your decision MUST be backed up by evidence from the text and cannot be speculation. This has had great feedback in observations etc.
How to spot an edited image computing lesson IWB.

How to spot an edited image computing lesson IWB.

(0)
This is an IWB with multiple edited images. The children discuss in talk partners each image. What has been changed? Why? Does it look better or worse? The IWB poses some questions to the children to discuss. After the IWB, children will take their own photos of each other and edit them in different ways. Children can then print these and annotate with the changes made and their effectiveness. Some could be funny, like removing an arm, and others more serious.

CH Phonics Activities

CH Phonics Activities

(0)
A series of phonic resources which I use to teach each sound across a week. This week is the ‘ch’ sound. Although the template could be easily adapted to suit any sound. Also a great resource for interventions to support the main teaching. Activity 1: Children to read the words in the table and circle the ones which have a ‘ch’ sound. During this time the teacher will circulate to hear blending and support as needed. Activity 2: Children to read the words in the list. Teacher will then call out some ‘ch’ words and children to segment into the boxes below e.g. chip ch-i-p. Activity 3: Children to read the sentences. Teacher to circulate and hear reading, support as necessary. Children again to practice writing ‘ch’ words using segmenting. Activity 4: Children to read the questions and answer ‘yes or no’ to each one. Children will then write basic sentences of their own using ‘ch’ words e.g. I like chips. Blank lines have the brave and scared monkey from kinetic letters, however this can be removed if not using.

Vehicle Matching Cards (memory)

Vehicle Matching Cards (memory)

(0)
This is a set of cards with two of the same animal (fox, rabbit, bird, hedgehog, rabbit, bear, mouse, tortoise, squirrel and a deer). You can use these cards to: make matching pairs together, turn them over and develop memory skills to see if they can remember where each vehicle is placed and make pairs, hide one of each card around the classroom or playground and ask the children to find them, inspiration for artwork take a walk and see what you can spot along the way. bury one set in the sand pit and ask the children to excavate and find it (sensory) I also have these available in farm animals and forest animals. They make a great ice breaker activity too.

Religions Of The World Sorting Activity (sort religious objects and symbols by religion)

Religions Of The World Sorting Activity (sort religious objects and symbols by religion)

(0)
This resource helps children understand the different symbols and objects of 6 different religions (buddhism, hinduism, islam, christianity, sikhism, judaism). The idea is to sort the objects into the different religions by cutting them out and creating 6 posters - one for each religion. It is a great activity for children to work together in groups or can be done independently. Children will have 6 objects from each religion and each object contains a brief, child friendly description to explain what the item is (without giving away which religion it belongs to!) A perfect activity for all of Key Stage 2 although would also be great for upper KS1 or Lower KS3 depending on the children. **ANSWERS INCLUDED ** *This would also be perfect for a comprehension activity in shared reading or literacy lessons as the children would have to read each sentence and using inference to decide where it belongs. *
