A quick powerpoint presentation with a short description of what Shrove Tuesday is. Worksheet design a pancake (bit of RE/Literacy/Art) ties in with adjective use. If you have found this useful please favourite and rate :)

Differentiated problems. BA - simple picture addition A - - and + problems AA - very challenging measurement problems (working with support) Names in problems can easily be changed - change them to names of children in your class, always creates some giggles! Hope this helps :) If you like it please add as favourite.

Used as independent work in our swamp area. Differntiated by adding some words/initial sounds. Really simple resource...just saves time!

Will use as a start to Fantasy worlds to have a character in mind to then create a setting for. Just a bit of fun to start children thinking of silly, amusing ideas. Two versions: Factfile for BA Full descriptive sentences for AA Thank you :)

Estimating volume - to start having a think about capacity. Jug measuring - For top ability group with support, thinking about measuring in ml and counting in 100s and 1000s. Challenging - good scaffold for relevant vocab use. Measuring out into cups - Used for my BA group to do with support. Some time will be needed to collect resources but if you put a note in the staffroom or ask parents these things can be collected faster (then keep them for next time) As said on sheet adding food colouring and sequins makes it that bit more exciting! Thank you :)

Children given two different seads to grow (after discussion) - thik about how the bean/flower seeds will grow differently.

A bit of fun at the end of History topic homes - children can be as creative as they like designing a home of the future. For links with Literacy, can write a description of the house and label picture.

Information booklet about Balham (can be changed to any location) Hope it helps! :)

A tick list (which can easily be changed). I used this for information texts. Adapt for any topic. Children check their own work and stick the checklist next to the work in book. Thank you :)

Used to start children thinking about character descriptions on Ben 10 and Dora.

Plans for Letters and Sounds Phase 5

An assortment of resources to do with jungle topic. Postcards - used for writing assessment at end of topic. Write a postcard home from the depths of the jungle. Very simple but can be jazzed up with clipart. Just saves time! Design your own smoothie with tropical fruits. Draw a picture in the style of Henri Rousseau. Blank mindmap - fill in mindmap with vocab at beginning and as children add new vocab as they learn. Please leave feedback :)

An overview of the year can be easily chopped and changed as links become apparent. Useful to see thing on paper altogether.

Children in charge of their own targets/challenges and replacing leaves when they wish.

An example of my planning for Letters and Sounds. A poster which I put in the staffroom to encourage open dialogue around CLLD. Please leave feedback :) Thank you!

Simple two large circles for children to sort characters into two groups...circles can easily be overlapped to make a venn diagram. Ignites good discussion about different groups as most children are familiar with the characters. Hope it's useful! :)

Cut and stick metals into one group and plastics into another. Simple activity to use early on in the Materials topic to help distinguish between different materials. Good for discussion and introducing new vocab.

Can be easily adapted to fit any sounds being looked at that week.

Simple graph can be used as pictograph or block graph if adapted slightly. We did a class survey on eye colour and then drew the data onto the graph. If you have found this resource useful please favourite and rate :)

Two slightly different book templates for children to create their own scaffolded book. Includes space for writing, page numbers and title/author/image on front cover.
