Links to 'which soap lathers the most?' test included in other resources. A differentiated sheet to start thinking about keeping a test fair and how to make it safe.

Simple two large circles for children to sort characters into two groups...circles can easily be overlapped to make a venn diagram. Ignites good discussion about different groups as most children are familiar with the characters. Hope it's useful! :)

Questions which can be used for any text to get children thinking about the story after they have read it. Can be filled in my HA or scribed for LA. Makes for good assessment at the end of a story focus. Have stuck into their Literacy books.

A start to comparing language style. Children given Donaldson books and fill in table group or individual work. Differentiated 3 ways: repetition, repetition and rhyme and various languages. Can obviously change the photos by copying and pasting different pictures in.

Stories by the same author. Different sentences/phrases typed up from Julia Donaldson books: A squash and a squeeze, Sharing a shell and Follow the Swallow. My class really enjoyed spliting them into groups. SOme chose 'people, animal, object&' others chose to group sentences according to punctuation or language. They were allowed to chose whether to use a venn diagram (hoops on floor) or large carroll diagrams I made up. I used this as a start for thinking about similarities and differences in books by the same author.

Simple sheets, differentiated three ways. Pictures and measurement with two boxes: one to double the measurement and one to halve it.

Choose various shoes and predict whether or not they will be slippy. Then create a ramp using table and chair and allow children to let go of shoe, time it. Work out most slippy shoe. Next part of experiment, wrap table in different materials. Which material helps to slow the fastest shoe down?

We looked closely at Bob Marley CD covers and in talking partners the children discussed what they could see on each one. We wrote a class reggae song and then designed a cover for it.
