This large worksheet contains several different activities about the circulatory system. The activities are as follows: Unscramble the parts of the system. Label a diagram of the system. Find words related to the system in a word search. Fill in blanks for a short paragraph about the system. Draw a diagram to show the structure of arteries and veins. Match the parts of the system with their function. Bonus: Write about how the structure of either a vein or artery is related to its function. Because of its size, this activity sheet lends itself nicely to pair work. Children really enjoy the variety of activities available. The document is fully editable so you can make adjustments to suit your needs. I’ve also included a colourful version as well as a B&W version in the document.

On this A3 worksheet, children create a key and colour in the countries on the map of Africa. Except for the map, this document is fully editable. Instructions: a) Select and write down the names of 15 countries, found in Africa, in the key below. b) Assign a different colour for each country and then colour in the corresponding location on the map of Africa. c) Mark on either the names of the oceans or some of the capital cities. You could also have the children draw on some of the human-made or natural landmarks as an additional activity.

On this A3 worksheet, children create a key and colour in the countries on the map of Asia. Except for the map, this document is fully editable. Instructions: a) Select and write down the names of 15 countries, found in Asia, in the key below. b) Assign a different colour for each country and then colour in the corresponding location on the map of Asia. c) Mark on either the names of the oceans and seas, or some of the capital cities. You could also have the children draw on famous human-made or natural landmarks.

This worksheet could be printed out, but was designed to be completed by children online in Google Docs. It’s made up of 4 questions, a bonus and an extension task. Each question involves a table shape with different numbers of cells shaded different colours. Children have to identify the fraction of each of the colours shaded. It builds in difficulty up to where the children then have to place the fractions in order of size. The bonus question involves ordering fractions with different denominators. It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.

This worksheet is designed to be used as a Google Doc so children can complete it online, however, it could also be printed and used that way instead. It’s made up of an example and 10 different scenarios, for which the children have to say what time of day it is and whether the time is am or pm. Before the questions are several pointers which will help with answering the questions. It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.

This is a standalone activity I do in ICT to help chidlren learn how to create tables tables in Microsoft Word, select cells and shade cells with different colours. The children could even add text to a cell as part of the art or merge cells. In this document are four ready made examples of what sort of table/pixel art they could create whilst mastering these skills. You could provide them as examples or even provide the table outline as a template for the children to work on, although if they’re able to, it’s better to have them create their own table.

This worksheet contains the five elements of a story along one side and on the other are paragraphs from an example adventure story called, Amy’s Adventures in Egypt. Children need to read the excerpts and match them up with the correct part of the story. *This document is fully editable so you can edit things as you please. *

This is a fully editable template for a break out style activity that I call Code Breaker. Pre-requisites: You will need at least 1 numerical combination lock and one regular lock (the master lock) and a box or even multiple boxes that you can use these locks on. I made my own ‘Mystery Box’ which has 4 latches for 4 numerical locks. Then the whole thing is wrapped up with a chain and locked with the master lock - a key padlock. I mostly use it for reviews in maths but it could be adapted for other subjects. There are so many possibilities with this. It does take a little time to setup but the children go wild for it every time! The Setup: a) Write questions which have a numerical answer. b) Decide on which numbers will be part of the code for that numerical lock. For example, add all the answers together and the last three digits of that result are the code. (This is for a three digit numerical lock). c) Change the code on the numbered lock to match. d) Write a short phrase for the master lock using numbers. Usage: a) Fill the box with random treasures. I usually put in some cool erasers and other stationery as well as several packs of crisps or sweets and a whole bunch of fake money. b) Split the class into teams and provide each with a sheet for a lock. Start the timer. c) Children then solve the code and then and open their particular lock. d) Those that solve their lock first can start working on the master lock phrase. After telling you the correct phrase, you can provide the key. *Sometimes I don’t let them get the master lock sheet until after all the other numerical locks have been opened. * Notes: The master lock page has a large image of a lock on it which obscures parts of the code, thus making it a bit more difficult. Also, each letter has four potential numbers to choose from which also adds to the difficulty in cracking a code. You can also make cracking the codes for the numerical locks more difficult by adding more operations on the end. For example, you could use an equation for the letters of each question and then depending on the result you could say that the code is only made up of odd numbers. You can also make questions which don’t have numerical answers by having a simple text to number cypher. The most basic would be to correlate the letters of the alphabet to the number in which they appear. For example, A=1, B=2 etc. If the answer is say, Holland, you could write a short note saying second letter so the children know what to look for and convert into a number. *I hope my explanations are clear, but if not, please feel free to message me or comment. It’s very worthwhile setting this up and once you have the templates filled in, you can reuse them each year as I do. *

This worksheet comprises two parts. The first is a fill in the blanks section where ideally the children test objects using a light source and fill in with the help of the words from the table. The second part can also involve some testing done throughout the day or could be done after the fact. It involves drawing where the sun would be at different times of the day and then drawing an object and its corresponding shadow. Children learn about the ways that a shadow can be affected and how and relate it to the shadows of objects caused by everyday objects blocking light from the sun. As an extra fun activity, have the children draw around their own shadows at different points during the day. It helps to have a compass too to record the direction the sun is shinning in. *This download comes as both a PDF and a fully editable DOC, so you can change it to suit your needs. *

This spelling homework template is made up of two sides. The first side involves learning through written repetition of the ten provided spelling words. The second side involves using those spelling words in context. We use this to set out our weekly spelling words for the children to complete at home, leading towards a spelling/hand-writing test the following week. *The template is, of course, fully editable! *

As it says on the can! Can be used to follow up nearly any kind of field trip. Includes spaces for basic information such as where and when as well as spaces for likes, dislikes, lessons learned and a box for a drawing.

A record sheet for children to record different aspects of the weather during the school week. Includes an example day to give the children an idea on how to fill it in. The fully editable document includes spaces for temperature, wind speed and direction, cloud cover, precipitation and other types of weather. They could measure local weather conditions or find the information from a weather forecast or a mixture of the two. I selected different children to record the weather on different days. As a follow up activity, the data can then be graphed and analysed and compared to the climate records.

Four A4 pages of general information about how we measure length and with what, as well as what units we use. Used as a wall display to act as a reference for the children, when they’re learning about length in maths. *The document is fully editable. *

10 short answer questions all about the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Great for use in combination with a series of books on Ancient Egypt and the Pyramids or internet research. Can be used as a review or even an introduction. Take a look at the preview to get an idea of the types of questions contained within.

A question sheet all about the River Nile. Contains 12 questions relating the flooding of the Nile, its uses and its importance. Great for a review of the River Nile. We have a large selection of books about Egypt and the Nile and the children use them as a resource to help them in their answer.

A food diary for children to record their diet over the course of a school week. Great for when learning about healthy balanced diets and nutrients. Encourages children to reflect upon their own diet and potentially improve it as a result. The booklet includes an example page that gives an idea of what is expected. Each day is split into three meals with snacks and include the following questions and starting statements for each: What did you eat? How much did you eat? Was it tasty? I should have eaten more… I should have eaten less/fewer… Do you think your diet was balanced for this day? Why or why not? The document is fully editable in Word, so you could add extra days or remove as necessary.

A great way to introduce the basics of coding in the classroom - no computers necessary. The worksheet is made up of an example code that creates a route from the bottom to the top of a grid. There are then 3 further tasks for the children to complete which involve writing the code for the route as well as reading code and colouring the corresponding route. Extra idea: If you have tiled floors in your classroom or some accessible area of the school, then you can introduce the same concept using children as the players that move along the route. To add extra interest you could blindfold the player!

Poem about water to compliment our connected unit topic called, ‘Water World’ in which we cover poetry in literacy. It serves as a simple example for the children to understand the rhyming patterns before creating their own.

Basic A4 story planning template with titles, short descriptions and space for writing. Sections: Introduction, build-up, conflict, solution and ending. Enlarge to A3 if students require more planning space.

A full work-through for an experiment on mummifying an apple. Includes the full scientific method from hypothesis through to conclusion. Great to get some science into a topic about Ancient Egypt. I usually begin the experiment so that a month or so later, it coincides with a look at the mummification process. We also create an Adobe Spark video to explain the way the Egyptians made their mummies. Extra discussion prompts: What foods to we preserve? How and why do we preserve them? How is this similar to the process of mummification?
