A number of resources that help children work towards creating their own instructions through creating potions in a more engaging manner using Harry Potter as an example. Lessons can include using the books and films to engage children with the ideas from the stories before then looking at writing instructions themselves. Included are: a word mat for a range of potion items that could be used; a word mat for a range of imperative verbs and time connectives and three different examples of instructions for creating potions that can be seen in the Harry Potter books and films. This includes then looking at making changes from the original instructions in the same way that can be seen in The Half Blood Prince through Snape's notes that make changes to the instructions (task for higher ability children).

Extracts from the first three Harry Potter books with three sets of differentiated questions attached with each extract. These activities will help children work on a range of comprehension skills using a story many are already aware of and engaged with. Questions range from simple retrieval to commenting on why particular language has been used. ***The extracts used are copyright of the author J.K Rowling.

Four different activities full of word problems for children to complete with answers provided. Easily editable to change names to children/staff to make it more personal to your class. The first sheet is one step addition and subtraction word problems. The second sheet is two step addition and subtraction word problems. The third sheet is one step multiplication and division word problems. The fourth sheet is two step mixed problems. Provides good differentiation in a lesson for children through the four activities.

A worksheet with word problems that look at testing children on picking out key information from the question then work out the fraction they are dividing and then complete the calculation with questions getting progressively harder. Answers are included.

Mini Maths revision booklets that I have created for my Year 6 covering topics they have looked at this half-term. The four booklets are differentiated and children can then spend the next lesson going over any errors they have made in them as well. Questions include: finding fractions and percentages, fraction/ percentage equivalents, area and perimeter, negative numbers including ordering, adding and subtracting fractions and multiplying and dividing fractions within word problems.

Posters/ mats that tell and show children how to calculate using fractions in a number of ways. This includes: Adding fractions with different denominators. Adding fractions with the same denominator. Dividing fractions by whole numbers. Multiplying fractions by whole numbers. Multiplying fractions together. Subtracting fractions with different denominators. Subtracting fractions with the same denominator. These will provide children with examples in front of them that help model methods and give children independence to try and calculate using fractions themselves before they need to seek adult help.

Three sets of resources combined. Posters/ mats that tell and show children how to calculate using fractions in a number of ways. This includes: Adding fractions with different denominators. Adding fractions with the same denominator. Dividing fractions by whole numbers. Multiplying fractions by whole numbers. Multiplying fractions together. Subtracting fractions with different denominators. Subtracting fractions with the same denominator. These will provide children with examples in front of them that help model methods and give children independence to try and calculate using fractions themselves before they need to seek adult help. Various mats to help children be able to find fractions of quantities/ find the original number when given a fraction of it. These are shown through multiplying and dividing normally and through using the Singapore Bar method to help. These mats will help children work independently and give them a reference point and step by step guide to how to find fractions to try and avoid needing adult support during lessons. A range of mats that help show children through colour coded methods how to do a range of written calculations accurately. These help give children independence as they can refer to the mats to help them before they refer to an adult. Includes: Written addition Written subtraction without and with exchanging 1,2 and 3 digit multiplications and using place holders. Written division without remainders, with remainders and carrying past the decimal point. Check out my by 2 digit multiplication resource for free as an example of what they look like.

Simple posters/ word mats that show various words that can be used for each operation.

Three differentiated worksheets appropriate for Year 5/6 that look at being able to divide fractions by whole numbers.

This is a helpful sheet that is used to show children how to complete a three digit by two digit multiplication. Each step is colour coded to help show children what they need to do before then moving on to the next step. This helps give children independence whilst ensuring they have help if they go wrong through a step by step guide.

A simple checklist that is easy for pupils to use. Includes the key features that should be included within an information text/ non-chronological text for children to refer back to during independent writing to self-assess/ for teachers to then use to assess against afterwards.

A word mat/ poster of generalisers and how they can be used in sentences to help with writing in information texts to help children who may struggle for ideas.

Two sets of differentiated worksheets looking at multiplying fractions. These are suitable for Year 5/6 children. The first set looks at multiplying fractions by whole numbers with this increasing in difficulty before children then have to use the inverse to work out a part of the question from the answer in the final activity. The second activity looks at multiplying fractions together with this also leading to children having to use the inverse operation in the final activity.

112 slides with 5 questions on each that act as quick oral/mental starter questions. These cover a range of topics that children in Year 5 and 6 will cover in Maths. These can be used as a quick starter for children to work through with answers then being looked at as continual mini-teaching moments. These include: Adding and subtracting fractions. Multiplying and dividing fractions. Finding fractions of quantities, Simplifying fractions and finding equivalent fractions. Using written methods for division, multiplication, addition and subtraction. Multiplying and dividing by 10,100 and 1000. Finding perimeter and area of shapes. Finding percentages of numbers. Calculating using negative numbers.

A wordmat/ display poster for each of the openers for ISPACE with lots of different openers within each section and then examples of how they can be used in sentences. Useful for children who are struggling with varying their openers and for children who may want to find quick examples when writing.

A range of sheets with helpful descriptions for children when writing stories. These include describing different features of characters, settings and creating atmosphere through the weather and seasons. In addition to having a range of adjectives to use, these sheets also include example sentences with a range of adjectives and verbs to help give children creative ideas.

Five activities that work well for KS2 children in English looking at Fireworks night. Includes: defining the meaning of words, reading for understanding and creating written pieces themselves.

10 practise Arithmetic papers with 20 questions in each to use for practise in Year 6 ahead of the new Key Stage 2 Arithmetic assessment. These questions have been formed by using the exemplar material and other practise papers released. These have then been used to look at the type of questions that appear regularly, with these then being tested regularly throughout the various tests. It will provide children with test practise as well as regularly being able to review what children understand and what they still need to work on.
