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.

This is a great activity to begin developing a good understanding of the character. It can be used in many different ways, but the most basic is the children recording the characters emotions and feelings inside the character outline and his appearance and attributes on the outside. It could also be used to explore for/against arguments and what he did vs what he wanted to do etc. A great little resource. Please note: I do not own the rights to Marine4511, this is a fantastic video which can be found on the literacy shed alongside many other valuable resources. I have simply created a resource to use alongside this video.

This is a comprehension aimed at Key Stage 2 to address the issue of cleanliness and personal hygiene. The text covers all areas of personal hygiene such as washing daily, washing your hair, brushing your teeth, washing hands etc. It also includes ten questions for the children to answer along with the correct answers for the teacher.

These are fantastic resources to teach maths in a real life way. Each page has five different shopping items from three different supermarkets. They can be used to compare the cost of items at different shops, find out how much more shopping would cost at one supermarket than another, calculate percentages or fractions if there were discounts at each shop etc. I have used these for many different lessons and the children always love it. It is even better if you can stick them on the walls and allow the children to walk around and find different items. I have left them blank so that differentiated prices can be added to suit the needs of your children.

This is everything you need to teach a lesson on fronted adverbials. Includes a PowerPoint: Children examine what a fronted adverbial is, identify one in a sentence and write their own. Higher, Middle and Lower differentiated activities. Highers - write their own sentences using a word bank of 20 fronted adverbials. Middles - Match the fronted adverbial to the remaining part of the sentence and write into their books. Lowers - Cut out the fronted adverbial and sentence and match the two together. Includes opportunity for Peer Assessment. A full lesson Plan is also included with all the information on.

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.

This is a fantastic set of resources for practicing times tables. They are great for quick activities at the start of lessons or in quick maths slots. The children will role two dice and add the digits together. They will then multiply this by a given times table and place a O or X on the corresponding square. The aim of the game is to get 4 in a row. Children are able to block each other if they happen to role the number required. Game can be played in twos, however alternative versions are possible such as three in a row with three or four children using a different colour pen each. An excellent, fun way to revise times tables!

A simple worksheet which can easily be stuck into books. Children follow the instructions to draw the shape at its new location.

This is a resource to assess learning and greater depth understanding of the four operations. There are eight numerical questions (two of each operation) and two written greater depth worded problems. Differentiated three ways (Higher, Middle and Lower). Aimed at upper KS2 although may also be suitable for higher sets in Year 4.

This is a fantastic lesson to get practical. The photos should be printed and laminated and then hidden in some manner. Preferably, hidden in sand to become a true archaeological dig, however they could also be hidden around the school or even just distributed throughout the classroom. Children will find an artifact, draw it, guess what it was used for and then use research or Google reverse image search to find what the item actually was. Makes a brilliant practical lesson with many possibilities. Note: All artifact images have been collated from a Google image search in order to make reverse image search accurate. Consequently, the copyright of these images remains with the individual or organisation.

This is a selection of 15 images all containing an action (for example: a dog barking, a bird flying, a child skipping). These are to use in any capacity of a way of generating sentences. I have used them in order to provide ideas for work on main and subordinate clauses. The dog barked --> The dog barked when the doorbell rang.

Children to write a summary of what is happening in the stained glass window scene. They can then colour the stained glass window. Great English lesson on the run up to Christmas or can be used in R.E.

A selection of Christmas themed words scrambled out of order.

A picture of a Christmas elf with space to generate a word bank and then lines to write a character description. A great activity for Christmas!

Children will use the final verse of 12 days of Christmas to answer mathematical word problems. Aimed at KS2, but could also be used with support in KS1.

A word bank with pictures and meanings. Split into two sections, one to describe the fire and one to describe the feelings of people affected. Some words have brackets to give a simple meaning. A great little resource to encourage the use of high level vocabulary all through this unit. We used it when writing a newspaper report and a diary entry from the time.

Here is a bank of resources with a front cover. Included are: Page 1 - Front cover Page 2 - Colouring page Page 3 - Christmas crossword. Page 4 & 5 - Plan your own party (Maths). Page 6 - Calculate the cost of each present (Maths). Page 7 - Use the code to find the joke answer (English). Page 8 - Pricing Christmas presents (Maths). Page 9 - Colouring page. Page 10 - Write a character description of an Elf (English). Page 11 - 12 days of Christmas puzzle (Maths & Comprehension). Page 12 - Four operations word problems (Maths). Page 13 - Unscramble words (English). Page 14 - Word Search (English). Page 15 - Colour the stained glass window & write a summary of the scene (English). Page 16 - Word Search (English). PLEASE NOTE: While I have written and created some of the resources in this document, others have been found on Google and in other TES documents therefore I do not own copyright and copyright belongs to the creators of those individual worksheets. I have gathered these together in a booklet and added my own worksheets for which I do own the copyright. Thank you.

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. This version includes the answer sheet.

Practical lesson for multiplication. Children will work in mixed ability pairs to calculate the answers. They must then move around the playground/hall/classroom to locate the answer on a poster and record the letter shown. Once they have gathered all of the letters, they must unscramble them to find the hidden code. An excellent lesson which engages all children. Also included is the lesson plan, posters for around the room and the sheet the children will write on. Has received excellent feedback in lesson observations and with Ofsted.
