If you want to encourage children in Year 5 to be more independent by including a wider range of skills in their writing or practise a specific target then these will help. There are 8 sheets, each with writing targets and a given example. Cut these Year 5 National Curriculum writing skills up into strips and place them somewhere in your classroom. Then encourage children to take a particular skill. (By colour-coding them, you may find that telling children to go to the red target is easier.) Children will learn to independently challenge themselves in any subject lesson by choosing these slips as an additional way they have looked to improve their work by including a wider range of skills.

This resource will help anyone trying to check children’s ability to write or spell 2 syllable words, 3 syllable words and common exception words for Year 1 and 2. The resource provides tick lists with 30 - 2 syllable words and 30 - 3 syllable words. There is an answer sheet included to help educators know where the syllables are within the words.

Perfect for any teacher who is getting their pupils to write a report on the life of Prince William. An A4 page of facts about Prince William provides a fairly detailed snapshot of his family members, his time in the RAF, charitable achievements, his love of Aston Villa and some random facts too. There is a basic and an advanced planning structure sheet for children to use to support writing a non-chronological (biographical) report about the future King of England’s life. There is also a skills based writing mat which can be used to encourage children to look for them to include the Upper Key Stage 2 writing skill objectives. 1 x fact sheet 1 x basic structured sheet 1 x advanced structured sheet 1 x writing mat with skill examples 1 x blank writing skills mat for children to record own examples within their plans.

There are 2 arithmetic tests, aimed at children in Year 5, which contain 20 questions in each test. (The questions are different to any of the other questions on my store.) Additionally, there are reasoning based questions for children to apply their numeracy understanding to. 9 reasoning questions and they are presented in a variety of methods. All answers are included.

This resource provides 24 various and interesting images of settings and a corresponding setting description. The descriptions use interesting vocabulary and should expose children to a wider base of vocabulary too. You can choose whether to display the text or the image (or both at the same time). There are also 25 teaching-related questions at the end of the PowerPoint which help to engage children with the writing techniques as well as give them the opportunity to add more, edit or practise various skills. This is Pack 2 and different from Pack 1.

This Word document contains 72 different types of setting descriptions and corresponding images. There are 12 images per page and each setting description tries to use a range of writing techniques (such as listed adjectives, figurative language and adventurous vocabulary). This is great for KS2 or KS3 children (ages 7-14). You can also get this as three separate PowerPoint presentations to display in the classroom.

This resource provides 24 various and interesting images of settings. This is a Word doc that has 3 images and 3 writing boxes per page - to allow pupils to write their descriptions or notes next to the images. This is Pack 2.

This PowerPoint will guide you through how fractions can be represented in various formats. The strategy used in this Powerpoint is, “I do…We do…You do”. This approach means the teacher models a good example and talks through relevant question prompts (notes are included for slides). Then the pupils have a go with the teacher before finally having their own independent go. They repeat this strategy for identifying how to read fractions and then again for how you get a whole. Questions for pupils to do independently are at the end of each section to test understanding. This lesson walkthrough is designed for children working in Year 5 but could be used as a recap in Year 6 or to introduce the topic in Year 4. A corresponding worksheet is available to purchase which relates to these questions - Identifying Fractions.

The challenge cards display a number of activities that get children to manipulate the practical fraction resources you have. They will need to demonstrate their understanding by showing equivalents, fractions of amounts, practical reasoning based questions and need to think about ascending ordering too. The children cut the cards out and can choose to complete them in any order. You will need to use practical equipment for the children to manipulate equipment in order to compare fractions. This is a useful lesson as either an exploration into fractions or as a recap session. It has been designed for children in Years 4 or 5.

A worksheet aimed at supporting children to partition in order to add 2 digit numbers (no bigger than 100). This is at a Year 2 level. There are 3 levels and comes with answers. Level 1 has 5 questions in a box structure with colour coded tens and ones and partial answers. Followed by 3 unstructured questions and 2 worded problems.

This resource is aimed at children in Year 2 or 3. There are two activities for children to apply their understanding to - conjunctions and imperative verbs. They are separate from each other so children who only need one of them can focus on the one skill they need or do both. The tasks build in difficulty as they progress through the activities. Answer sheet include.

This resource supports children with writing up a science investigation. They often need support with what the structure is, how to start each paragraph and what a good write up should contain and this supports each step. It is aimed at children in KS2 but could be adapted for specific parts of upper or lower KS2.

This download contains 6 worksheets related to adding up to 10 and adding up to 20. There are some harder challenges for Greater Depth children so they can add beyond 20. Reasoning questions, worded questions and differentiated mastery based questions are available too. Perfect for 2 or 3 sequenced lessons. All of the answers are included within this pack also. This lesson is primarily aimed at children in Year 2 but could be used in Year 3 to support lower ability children.

There are 2 arithmetic tests, aimed at children in Year 5, which contain 20 questions in each test. (The questions are different to the ones in the Autumn Arithmetic test, which is also available in my store.) Additionally, there are reasoning based questions for children to apply their numeracy understanding to. 28 reasoning questions and they are presented in a variety of methods. These questions cover a wide range of the topics covered in Year 5, to prepare children for completing their end of year assessments. Many are set out in the typical style a SATs paper in Year 6 would look and use the same wording. All answers are included too.
