I created these resources while teaching the Year 3 history topic, 'The Stone Age'. The aim of this lesson was to be able to identify problems and challenges faced by Stone Age people. During the first part of this lesson, the class were split into boys and girls. Each group explored the school grounds with an adult. Scattered around the premises were Problem Cards (included in this pack) explaining various dilemmas that Stone Age men and women would have dealt with. The children loved this activity and when they returned to class, they were able to discuss the similarities and differences between the lives of Stone Age men and Stone Age women. Most children then wrote a diary entry from the point of view of a Stone Age person, explaining the problems they had faced, how it would have made them feel and how they would have dealt with them. The lower ability children used the other resource in this pack and they began by sorting Stone Age problems and Modern Day problems.

Two weeks of Literacy planning based on 'Tin Forest' by Helen Ward and Wayne Anderson. Although this is a short picture book with few words, my Year 5 class loved studying this text. The first week looks more at narrative writing with the second week looking more at non-fiction writing. This text also linked well with our Topic on 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle'.

These worksheets can be used when teaching children about the features of non-fiction texts e.g. index, glossary, captions, subheadings etc. The first of the two worksheets allows children to write about each feature. I used the second worksheet with lower ability children. They had to match the feature to its definition.

As part of our topic on 'Modern Britain', my Year 3 class created leaflets for tourists explaining some of the things they had learnt about Britain. There are three different leaflets included in this pack. The first is a blank trifold leaflet with lines which my higher ability group used. The second is another trifold leaflet, this time with subheadings given. The third is a simpler template for lower ability children, again with subheadings given.

I made these resources for the final lesson in a Year 3 Geography Topic - Homes Around the World. Previously, the children had looked at many different types of homes and they had thought about the reasons they were built in certain ways. We had looked at the favelas in Brazil and written persuasive letters to ask the Brazilian government to build better homes. In this final lesson, I told the children that we were going to plan for a new village to be built in Brazil. The children were able to think about the types of homes that would be most suitable to the area, considering the climate, physical features and human features. They really enjoyed this lesson. This pack contains differentiated town planning worksheets as well as an extension for the higher ability where they have to stick to a budget and calculate the costs of their planned village.

This Maths pack includes a range of data investigations for different ability groups. This is a great Statistics lesson. Each group of children is given a question to answer. They will think about how they can collect and record their data before presenting it in different ways using bar charts, pictograms, line graphs etc. The questions are included as well as explanations of each activity. I have also included tally chart templates for the lower ability groups.

I created these resources whilst reading The BFG by Roald with my Year 3 class. The task is for the children to put some of the BFG’s nonsense words into their very own dictionary. The children can cut out and stick the words in order alphabetically then make up their own meanings for the words. In this pack, there are several different worksheets aimed at different ability groups. Some have more words and some have the alphabet included at the top of the page as support. Also, included in this pack is a worksheet where the meanings of some words are given and the children have to match the definition to the nonsense word. My Year 3 class really enjoyed making up their own definitions.

Three weeks of Literacy planning based upon 'The BFG' by Roald Dahl. All lesson outcomes are differentiated at least 3 ways. Obviously, this planning is based upon the requirements of the class I had at the time and may need altering before you use it with your own class. However, it might be a good starting point if you are planning a Literacy unit on The BFG. =)

I created these resources for a Year 3 lesson on London Landmarks. This was part of a larger unit of work on British Landmarks. The children had to research facts about various London landmarks, completing a table and answering questions. I provided each table with a range of books and information sheets (not included) about London Landmarks. They also had access to laptops to aid them with their research. In this pack, you will find the differentiated tables for children to complete using their research. I have also included the questions for each ability group. The SEN and lowest ability children have got sentence starters to help them write about what they found. I have also included a sheet I used with an EAL child, on which they had to match the images of London landmarks to their names. The children enjoyed finding out about different London landmarks and were telling me facts for weeks. I hope this pack can be useful to you too. =)
