Great for an introduction back to school or just as a little fun! This quiz was used during a ‘lockdown quiz’ and was designed from scratch. You may want to adapt bits for your class or use it as it is! All questions are either taken from the KS1 / KS2 curriculum or primary school textbooks just like the show. It contains multimedia clips as well! There are 50 questions in total including a picture round! Suitable for children and adults! A couple of example questions… -In ancient Egyptian times, canopic jars were used to store the organs of a mummy’s body, how many jars were used: 3, 4 or 5? -What acronym is used to describe the computer code used to create web pages?

Poems that create images - Similes & Metaphors - Year 4 to 6

A bumper set of resources initially used in the Year 4 topic of: Creating Images with Poetry, Similes and Metaphors. Due to the popularity of this resource I have included a Powerpoint I used for a very successful ‘Outstanding’ observation lesson by Ofsted involving describing a beach setting with similes and metaphors.
