A word bank with pictures and meanings. Split into two sections, one to describe the fire and one to describe the feelings of people affected. Some words have brackets to give a simple meaning. A great little resource to encourage the use of high level vocabulary all through this unit. We used it when writing a newspaper report and a diary entry from the time.

A handy resource with a checklist for the features (including examples) and word banks to support with sentence openers, time conjunctions and cause and effect conjunctions. A very hand little resource.

A fantastic resource to go alongside the youtube video. I have included screenshots from the video to retell the story as well as a word bank including characters, quotes from the poem, setting descriptions and descriptive phrases. A fantastic lesson to introduce and clarify the story of The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes.

Here is a set of differentiated resources which can be used for all abilities. There is a HAP, MAP, LAP and SEN resource. Children need to join the sentence to the matching adverbial phrase. There is also a word bank sheet for children to use with their own writing.

As a class we watched the Prince of Egypt (available on Netflix) as part of our Egyptian/R.E. lessons. We then discussed the power of prayer (link to R.E.). The children examined each scene in the storyboard and wrote a short prayer underneath that the character may say at that time. Alternatively, the pictures could be used to sequence the events in the story. Image 1: Mother putting Moses in the river to save his life. Image 2: Moses seeing the treatment of the slaves. Image 3: Moses begging his brother to let the slaves go. Image 4: Family preparing a house with lambs blood over the door. Image 5: Moses just about to part the sea. Image 6: Moses looking forward to the future at the end of the movie.

Here we have 6 addition word problems. I have split each one so they can be cut and stuck into books easily. These are 2 digit add 1 digit, however could be quickly adapted to suit any numbers. There is also a challenge question at the end to extend those children who finished early.

This is a board game using the first few paragraphs of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The children roll a dice and move counters around the board. If they get a question correct, they may remain on the square. If their partner disagrees and can prove it they go back to the previous square. An engaging way to explore guided reading skills.

This is a Notebook document explaining how to spot SPAM emails. It includes multiple examples to show on the board. Children can talk in talk partners and discuss how you know these emails are spam. Children then complete an activity in pairs which gives them four emails and asks them to note down anything they can spot which would tell you it is a fake email. Everything you need for a computing lesson on SPAM.

I have created a bank of 15 different items that can be purchased from different supermarkets. Underneath is a price which is differentiated three ways (red is lower ability, yellow is middle ability and green is higher ability). These can be easily edited to suit the needs of your children. They can be used for addition, subtraction, worded problems and open ended real world challenges.

A picture of a Christmas elf with space to generate a word bank and then lines to write a character description. A great activity for Christmas!

This is a board game to help the children practice the mental math skill of adding and subtracting near amounts. For example 23+29 = 23 + 30 - 1. Children can play in pairs or groups using a counter and dice to move around the board. If a question is correctly answered, they can remain on that square. If it is incorrect, they must go back to their current square. Other players in the group are responsible for checking each players answer.

A board game for children to practice their halving and doubling skills. Children work in pairs or small groups to move around the board game with counters and dice. Begins with halving and doubling of 2 digit numbers and moves to 3 digit towards the end.

These are fantastic resources to teach maths in a real life way. Each page has five different shopping items from three different supermarkets. They can be used to compare the cost of items at different shops, find out how much more shopping would cost at one supermarket than another, calculate percentages or fractions if there were discounts at each shop etc. I have used these for many different lessons and the children always love it. It is even better if you can stick them on the walls and allow the children to walk around and find different items. I have left them blank so that differentiated prices can be added to suit the needs of your children.

A range of maths problems focusing on how many ‘altogether’ (addition) and how ‘many more’ (subtraction). Questions are differentiated three ways with Higher ability doing four digit numbers, middle ability doing three digit numbers and lower ability doing two digit numbers. All worksheets include pictures to make them eye catching and the answers for easy marking. Also available as part of a bar model lesson (see my other resources).

This resource folds into a double flap booklet. It can be used for any topic and can be easily adapted. Lines can be increased in size to accommodate younger children or picture boxes can be added, removed etc.

Fact box template. Lined with space for a picture, title and a few interesting facts.

This is a set of 20 SATs style questions which are all Christmas themed. Perfect for a Literacy lesson in the last week of term. Each question tackles a common misconception, such as commas or word classes.

This is a set of 12 different challenges which ask the children to locate a book in the library based on a certain criteria. Great as a display or can be used as a lesson to help the children fully explore the books on offer. I have used this on a visit to a local library and in our school library. Both have worked great. If needed, children can record the name and author of the book they have found onto the back of each card and even draw a sketch of the book.

This is a board game using the first few paragraphs of the scene in which Charlie and the guests enter the chocolate factory for the first time and see the chocolate river. The children roll a dice and move counters around the board. If they get a question correct, they may remain on the square. If their partner disagrees and can prove it they go back to the previous square. An engaging way to explore guided reading skills.

A simple worksheet which can easily be stuck into books. Children follow the instructions to draw the shape at its new location.
