This is a multiple choice test covering exploration from St Brendan to Captain Cook.

This is a multiple choice test based on work about the reign of Queen Victoria and the Industrial Revolution.

I use the book The Ghost of Thomas Kempe by Penelope Lively as a class reader. I have made up these question sheets for each chapter of the book to help my Year 5/6 class to complete their reading logs as many of them find the language of the book quite difficult to understand. I have also attached the review and cover design sheets which I use.

This is a series of questions to encourage children to use and understand a calendar. You will need to provide a calendar, but the questions would be relevant for any year.

This is a wordsearch containing words relating to shape.

This is an idea for creative writing which encourages the children to plan their work and then to draft it.

This idea comes from a book called 'The Art of Papercrafts' which I have had for many years. The sleighs can be a little fiddly to stick together, but they look great once they are finished. I fill them with tissue paper and some Christmas sweets for the children to take home at the end of term.

This is an idea I found and used successfully. I have made the templates to make it easier to create the finished product. I used the sheet as a design template for a mug which the children then decorated and gave as a gift for Mother's day.

This is a simple treasure map to help children to use a grid and to understand directions. If you wanted to you could add further directions within your classroom to guide children to a real treasure chest.

Some practice for addition and subtraction of 2, 3 and 4 digit numbers. There are 20 questions on the first two sheets and then the answers are printed on the 2nd two.

Using the grid, children can create an enlargement of the small picture of a snowman. They should be encouraged to work on each square, not to look at the whole picture. I usually do this in the run up to Christmas.

This resource consists of a simple colouring sheet, using addition or subtraction. I have also included a blank template for you to adapt for your own use.

This idea is based on Desert Island Discs. The children can choose 5 books to read whilst stranded on a desert island. They need to justify their choices. You could adapt the worksheet to change the number of books if you want to broaden the childrens' choice.

This worksheet can be used for children to record details about their teeth. The children will need small mirrors to carry out the observations.

This is a worksheet examining the different types of teeth that humans have and how they are used.

As part of a project on Ancient Egypt the children create an enlargement of this image of Tutankhamun. Number the back of the image in black and white to match the numbers on the coloured picture. Cut out 35 larger squares, (the size will depend on how big you want the final image to be). Give each child in the class a small piece of the image and ask them to recreate it to scale on the large square. The final picture can be painted or coloured. I have also tried a collage version using shiny paper. It makes a really good display in the class and the children enjoy collaborating to produce the final picture.

This is a test that I have used to assess progress of year 5/6 children midway through the year. It covers areas of English grammar that they will have studied in the previous 4 months. There is a full answer sheet.

This is a test that I have used with Year 5/6 students reviewing many aspects of English grammar that they will have studied during the year.

I have used this activity with a class who have been working on measurement of mass. There are two sheets, one with pictures and measurements in grams and a blank chart which you could adapt for your own class. The children try to match the product with the correct weight. The measurement leads to some interesting discussions about the weight of packaging. Children enjoy making comparisons between the different packages, weighing them in their hands.

I've adapted this experiment from a Scholastic science book. The work is carried out as part of a topic on food, health and hygiene. The children really enjoy looking at the food when it has started going mouldy and can record their results on the chart, either in writing or pictures.
