This lesson is an engaging resource where the children are classifying rocks based on their properties. When we completed this lesson, we had already done a lesson on the properties of different rocks so had findings to work with already. However, you could incorporate the properties into this lesson too. The lesson comes with the complete lesson PowerPoint and resources. Brief structure of lesson: Retrieval practice Name that rock Whole class quiz questions for property definitions Guided practice for classifying rocks Independent sorting and classifying rocks Challenge questions Extend to think about sorting into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic

This is a great resource for retrieval practice to test what the children have learnt in previous lessons/years. I have uploaded two different kinds for two different subjects to show you how they would work in different lessons. They are easily adaptable for your own topics/subjects. These particular resources are for: Ancient Egyptians Vaisakhi

This resource is comprised of a blank world map divided into 6 sections for you to cut into 6 jigsaw pieces. The idea was that the children could first see if they could correctly assemble the world map first without any guidance. There are then labels for the children to correctly match up the oceans (blue labels) and continents (green labels).

This resource includes PowerPoint going through the structure of the lesson. It includes retrieval practice, guided practice and differentiated tasks. This lesson could be used in year 2 or as a recap in year 3 which is how I use it. Resources for the lesson are included too, including a retrieval practice pyramid which the kids love!

This is a complete lesson with resources that focuses on children knowing how to apply number bonds within ten i.e. to find calculations that are ten or even hundred times greater and to find related facts (fact families) It includes a full teaching PowerPoint, as well as resources to go alongside it including an open ended investigation using dice and reasoning and problem solving questions.

This idea came about after playing the legendary game Linkee many times! It is a great way to test children’s knowledge of a variety of topics. It can be used as retrieval practice and really encourages deeper thinking as there could be many possibilities. It is also not limited to one subject and can be easily adapted for all ages and topics. This resource includes an editable template as well as several examples of how they can be used in lots of subjects. I hope you enjoy!

Tidy tub labels. I use them in the middle of each table so the children can put their paper rubbish and any other bits in there, instead of them getting up to go to the bin frequently. The tubs can then just be emptied at the end of the lesson/day :)

I have created this East Anglia introduction lesson where the children look at regions and create a key. They then identify the main counties. This lesson could be adapted to suit another England region.

This lesson is at aimed at lower KS2, specifically year 3 but could be adapted for other year groups. It includes full teaching PowerPoint, as well as independent tasks and reasoning and problem solving. Structure of lesson: Retrieval practice Quick Fire questions New Learning First task involving hundred square (visual) Second task involving number line and bar models Reasoning and problem solving (correct the mistakes)

Research lesson - complete lesson with full teaching PowerPoint and resources. Resources include: starter Research sheet Images of Skara Brae to examine

Full teaching PowerPoint and resources comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences of the Stone Age and Bronze Age. Includes images to compare and contrast, videos to watch, quiz questions, pictures to cut out and stick in a venn diagram, then a writing opportunity after to apply understanding.

This resource is an entire unit of work for the topic ‘Stone Age to Iron Age’ Lessons include: Introduction to the Stone Age Hunter Gatherers which runs over two lessons Stone Age settlements Skara Brae Stone Age to Bronze Age comparison Amesbury Archer Iron Age (could run over two lessons) It includes 8 lessons, but could be condensed into fewer or extended to longer.

This includes a complete teaching PowerPoint with accompanying resources. Structure of lesson: Starter Check in Introduce Bar Models Whole Class Quiz Bar models to add (I do, we do, you do)- use of whiteboards Bar models to subtract (I do, we do, you do)- use of whiteboards Independent work to apply Mixed bar models - model then independent Bar Model word problems
