Attached are a number of resources to try and help in the build up to SAT's. This includes 36 fully planned lessons to run from February half term with planning, slides and worksheets attached that operate on a mastery basis to develop children's reasoning and problem solving. These are for children to pick between based on confidence. The reason for 36 lessons is so that you can also focus on other areas such as angles, graphs and rotation as desired or key target areas within your class. Where lessons are repeated, worksheets are repeated as purely revision. Within the presentation are slides for other lessons as a starting point. Also included are mini-arithmetic tests and problem solving task cards children can work through and a revision mat of key facts.

Geography assessment grids from Year 1 to 6 that can be used to check children's understanding and use as a progress measure if wished. These are to be used as best fit as there may be some areas they are weaker/ more confident in with the aim being a best fit judgement. I created these as there appears to be a gap in geography assessment at the minute in primary schools since the move to assessment without levels. This enables schools to have something in place for a foundation subject that links well to other curricular areas, as well as showing an assessment system should visitors wish to know how you monitor progress.

History assessment grids from Year 1 to 6 that can be used to check children's understanding and use as a progress measure if wished. These are to be used as best fit as there may be some areas they are weaker/ more confident in with the aim being a best fit judgement. I created these as there appears to be a gap in history assessment at the minute in primary schools since the move to assessment without levels. This enables schools to have something in place for a foundation subject that links well to other curricular areas, as well as showing an assessment system should visitors wish to know how you monitor progress. These were created using the statements from the curriculum, with a particular focus on what they should be able to do at the end of each Key Stage and then working up/ back from that/ making sure children are 'Year 7 ready' at the end of Key Stage Two. There is some overlap in the way grids may be worded but this is because the content they are learning is different and they are beginning to increase knowledge across a range of topics/ apply skills to different topics. I have attached PDF and Word documents as they can then be edited if you wish.

A fully resourced unit of work that compares the U.K, Spain and Canada. There are 11 lessons that begin by looking at time zones around the world before focussing on the human and physical geographical features of the U.K, Spain and Canada separately. This then leads to comparing and contrasting two countries together as a class before finishing on the final lesson by comparing and contrasting all three countries together. Also included are Geography assessment grids for each year group that work as best fit assessments.

The Big Book of Fractions includes a range of fraction topics within it over 95 pages including: What a fraction is Colouring fractions Representing fractions Equivalent fractions including simplifying Comparing fractions Finding fractions of amounts including finding original numbers - Using the bar model Converting between mixed and improper fractions Adding fractions Subtracting fractions Multiplying fractions by whole numbers Multiplying fractions by fractions Dividing fractions by whole numbers Fractions, decimals and percentages equivalence Glossary of what particular terms mean Within this there are help sheets, showing how to do different operations with fractions through the maths and also through showing pictorial representations, generally using the bar model. After the help sheets most topics include practise questions and then questions that challenge children's fluency, reasoning and problem solving abilities. This can be used for a range of things, whether it be just to print the help sheets to encourage children to be independent or to give children a practise activity or activity that requires them to think more deeply.

Both assessments are uploaded separately but have been uploaded together for ease where people want both. History and Geography assessment grids from Year 1 to 6 that can be used to check children's understanding and use as a progress measure if wished. These are to be used as best fit as there may be some areas they are weaker/ more confident in with the aim being a best fit judgement. I created these as there appears to be a gap in both history and geography assessment at the minute in primary schools since the move to assessment without levels. This enables schools to have something in place for a foundation subject that links well to other curricular areas, as well as showing an assessment system should visitors wish to know how you monitor progress.

A range of plans for teaching different areas of the P.E curriculum that were used for Years 5 and 6. Includes different drills and how to differentiate activities within each one. May require you to have particular equipment in school which is why I have shared them for free. Youtube is a great added resource for showing professionals play and master different skills or for teaching yourself if you are low on confidence.

A reading comprehension based on Mo Farah. Included is a fact file about Mo Farah and three differentiated question sheets with answers included. The fact file can also be used separately to work on Mo Farah or show examples of how people can write bibliographies about a sporting star. Reading questions work on both fact finding and inferring from the information available, enabling children to practise their reading skills as well as learning about Mo's background story.

Perfect for back to school - Use these as a fun activity to get to know the children in your class. Each question gets children thinking and can require them to justify their decision. Questions can include set criteria e.g. cleaning the toilet with your toothbrush and then having to use it. Some are simply silly, fun questions whilst some will offer deep insight into the nature of individuals. Simply print them out, and either laminate them or cut them out and stick them on card. 116 question cards included. Whilst they can be used at the start of the year as a fun way to get to know individuals, they can also be used throughout the year. Have a day a week where one is used, getting children to do a straw poll with hands up and then discussing or getting children to write on a whiteboard and a reason why. They could also record them in a notebook to show their thinking. These can also be taken further by getting children to think of their own, getting them to think about questioning and ensuring that the two topics are related to one another and have a similar level of reward/ punishment with these then becoming discussion points.

Included are one off lessons/ starter resources that can be used in those times where someone isn't in/ if you're a supply teacher who hasn't been left any planning. These are aimed at Key Stage Two, particularly for 5/6 with more lessons added as it develops.

An eleven lesson sequence that gives a brief introduction and overview of events in Europe following the end of the First World War. The sequence will focus on the end of the war and what followed with the Treaty of Versailles, some of the key events in the 1920's, the change in British politics, the rise of Hitler and the following actions that broke the Treaty of Versailles and policy of appeasement. All of the resources needed to run the lessons are included such as presentations and activities as well as the planning. These lessons have been written with upper KS2 and lower KS3 in mind but should be easily adaptable for KS4 students as well.

A planning overview resource to support the teaching of Science across KS2. Every KS2 topic is included with each planning overview following the same structure: Knowledge children must know - This provides a minimum level of what is expected for children to know by the end of the unit and provides consistency across classes. This also helps ensure progression and cohesion between topics. Ways of knowing they know - Ideas for checking understanding and knowing that children have learnt the minimum level of knowledge. Vocabulary - Key vocabulary across the unit that children will need to understand Other links - Links to other subjects and ideas for investigations for each topic These sheets help start the planning process by making it clear what children should know by the end for staff to then use and link together in a sequence of learning. This then feeds through KS2 as it ensures a minimum level of knowledge that supports progression and cohesion across the science curriculum.

List of coordinates that when done accurately creates a man with a tie, shirt and jacket on. I am using this myself for children to then colour in and add detail e.g. hair, jacket, tie and then stick on the front of a card that they will write in for fathers day. Can also just be used as an activity for practising coordinates.
