I used this for my mixed year 5/6 class to assess the first week of place value. I chop them up and stick in books- then the child will tick which statements they think they can do in the first column and I tick the second column. There is also a space for next steps. My class found it useful.

A colourful display poster with example of how and why we use hyphens. Second sheet- I laminate and each week we choose a hyphenated word of the week and write up Bright and visual

A bright poster - A checklist telling children what they could do if they think they've finished their work.

This is a complete lesson with notebook file and activities. The learning objective is- To explore and discuss religious art There is an activity sheet and resources including a notebook file that forms the whole lesson for you. This is a whole lesson. I used this with a mixed year 5/6 class for an observation by the head and a governor who said the lesson was 'outstanding' in old OFSTED terms! It worked well and the children enjoyed it.

Sheets to stick in books with self assessment and teacher assessment columns. Includes: Descriptive writing Addition Subtraction Division Square / cubed numbers Fractions Shape/angles Prime numbers I used these with years 5 and 6- hope they are useful. Adapt as you need to :-)

I made these sheets and used them when I met my new class this week. They could also be used in September as an activity to do with the new class. They worked well and colleagues used them too and liked them. Works well with KS1 and KS2

I think this in the most useful resource I've made so far to help year 5 and 6 children with their writing. It has helped me get my books in order for writing moderation too! This word mat is to be photocopied double sided and laminated. It includes: All the year 5/6 curriculum spelling words Hyphenated Words Subordinating conjunctions Co-ordinating Conjunctions Modal Verbs Contractions (including spoken contractions) It is colourful, well set out and easy to use. I hope others find it as useful as our school does. It does help them when they are writing. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/richbreeds

I made these tasks for my class to focus on now the SATS are over. They are loving them so far. They love working in groups and presenting to the class. It also creates a healthy bit of competition. Both group tasks involve working collaboratively, budgeting, research , recording information and preparing a presentation. They are clear and visual and give them plenty of clues and instructions- they also take up a good few lessons! Enjoy! Lots more availabe at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/richbreeds

I made these grids similar to the moderation sheets we use as teachers, but child friendly with pictures and examples to help the children understand what to look for in their writing. My children use these effectively and it also helps my teacher assessment and their understanding. It may help new year 6 teachers too!

During moderation, using HYPHENS was one area of writing most of my children always found hard to ‘tick off’. So to help them I compiled this hyphenated word bank. I left a space in each letter so they could add words of their own to it. But having them in front of them has definitely helped them to get hyphenated words in to their writing more. Some of them had to be explained to them for meaning, but now they love trying to fit some of the more unusual ones in to their writing. They also add words from their reading books to the list. I found this very useful as there isn’t much on hyphens out there to help us teachers! Enjoy!

This sheet explains and revises active and passive voice. I made these to help my class to consolidate their understanding of active/passive and now they are using it independently in their writing. There are 3 tasks to complete- it is colourful and visual and gives clear examples of each. I currently teach a very mixed ability year 5 and 6 class and they all found it useful.
