The starter activity is a glossary, matching key words to their definition. It is differentiated for higher and lower (higher have ore words) The presentation then discusses why we experience night and day. There are lots of youtube links to help visual learners. The main activity requires children to shade in a diagram and then explain why we experience night and day. Higher children have key words and need to write their own sentences Lower children fill in missing words SEN children have first letter of each missing word Please note I do not own any of the pictures or videos used in these resources.

A fantastic lesson that generated some great discussion about jobs and their salaries. The discussion was so rich in mine that it carried over two lessons. First children are given cards with different jobs (discuss any unfamiliar to children before starting). They are asked to rank them from most important to least important and give feedback on their answers. They are then asked to consider what they think the salary for each job might be and try to match these. The powerpoint then reveals the average salaries in descending order. This generates excellent discussion about whether this is fair, which jobs should earn less/more, are you surprised by any etc As a final activity children can research a job they would like to pursue in the future and then create an advert for this job based on what they have found. I have included a SEN template, a word mat and some links for useful websites. Please note I do not own any of the images used in the presentation.

The session starts by playing Chinese whispers to show children how the original information has been changed and distorted. The presentation then explains rumours and how this can be a form of bullying like name calling. Children are given a scenario to discuss - Is the child being bullied? What could she do that would make the situation better? What would make it worse? For the main activity you will need boards/mats for snakes and ladders (or alternatively print some from online). Children will need to come up with a bullying scenario using a particular theme e.g. racism. They need to create two sets of cards. One set for things that will make the situation better (for when a player lands on a ladder) and one et for things that will make the situation worse (for when a player lands on a snake).

This lovely powerpoint is great to use in the first half term and encourages children to think about what they want to achieve by the end of the academic year. It encourages children to think about the impact of their words and actions on those around them and consider how to make better choices. The first activity in the presentation has a blank space for your school’s mission statement. You could discuss the key words as a class or make it into an activity for their books. I personally put the key words on stickers, got the children to match them to a definition and then think of a way to show that quality. More able pupils used dictionaries to support their own definitions. For the other children I put the definitions on stickers and they had to match them up. Children then need to think of 6 goals for the year ahead - 3 personal and 3 learning (the powerpoint discusses the difference) - which they can record on the worksheet As a reflection at the end of the lesson they can start to think about how they can achieve these

Presentation first gets children to think about the best way to act in an emergency. There is a link to a video on the St John’s Ambulance website that goes through the recovery procedure step by step. I got my children into pairs and they took it in turns to follow this step by step, I paused the video a lot so they could keep up. Finally I asked them to tell me what the next step was before hitting play to see if they could remember. There is a differentiated matching activity to finish, where children match the picture to the sentence and put them in the correct order. The HA version also has some missing vocabulary. Please note I do not own any of the images used in these resources.

This bundle of activities are fantastic for teaching children how to proof read and spot mistakes in writing. The two booklets contain three different activities using extracts from Roald Dahl stories. First pupils look at punctuation errors, then common spelling mistakes and finally improving grammar and vocabulary. Both booklets are the same but the LA has fewer mistakes to find. The extension activity brings all these skills together. The column with hints down the side could easily be removed for more able children. The lesson 2 activities also bring all these skills together, with a table to support pupils in ensuring they have found ALL the errors. Again, the LA document has fewer errors to find.

Booklet with non-fiction text on Pompeii and retrieval question. Each question states how many marks can be gained. The HA booklet has less multiple choice questions. The SEN booklet has multiple choice questions and the text is shorter with fewer tricky words.

These activities put statistics in a real life context. There is a table of data showing how many customers visited Frankie and Benny’s on Saturday and Sunday. This data can be used to create a line graph. Higher ability children could create one with two lines, one for each day. As an extension, there are questions (small sticker format) to answer about the data. For children who progress quickly there is also a separate mastery activity, answering questions using a line graph.

Presentation gives advice on creating strong passwords and why this is important. My children had access to an online house points account so we created passwords for this but the slide that mentions this could be changed accordingly. There is also a quiz which I used as a starter to see how knowledgeable my children were. The final activity I suggest here is a poster with all of the advice they have learned.

Alphabetical display for tricky words. Editable. A4. Top tip: Keep in the same place throughout year and refer to it as often as possible when model writing.

This resource can be used either at the start of a topic as a baseline or at the end of a topic to assess learning. The questions relate to different Year 3 geography and history objectives such as identifying the equator, naming the 7 continents, comparing lives of people in the past etc. Most of the questions place these skills in the context of volcanoes, e.g. Pompeii This resource may also give you ideas for linking objectives to this topic and activities you could do in the classroom.

A two part activity that requires pupils to identify the abstract verb n each sentence. They will then be given a choice of abstract verbs to use in sentences. A good activity for more able pupils to complete during grammar lessons on verbs.
