These problems are laid out so that they can be printed on stickers (2 by 7). This is so the children can chose their problem, stick it in their book and have plenty of space to do the workings out. The problems are organised by challenges 1 being the easiest and 3 the hardest. I allow children to chose their own challenge.
Here is my bank of spelling lists for Year 6. One for each term (1-5) to send home to parents. The lists cover all Year 6 objectives from the new curriculum.
This is a whole unit of work for Year 6 English lessons on Non-chronological reports. It comprises of 9 lessons and includes the build up to two big writes - one of which I use as a full independent write (assessed piece). The lessons are set up on smart noteboard and each slide contains the outline of the lessons, questions and explanation of activities. I have also created (and included) a modelled write which enables children to see the type of writing that is expected of them in Year 6. The modelled write contains a range of sentence types and high level punctuation.
This Year 6 Maths bundle contains: worksheets, activities, extensions, planning and Smart notebook slides for full units of work based on the White Rose scheme. It covers: Area and Perimiter, Measures, Position and Direction, Ratio and Shape.
This is a full unit of work for the Year 3 White Rose unit Number and Place Value. It includes smartnotebook slides with ‘recap’ ‘explore’ ‘hinge’ and ‘tasks’ as well as worksheets and extensions. Everything you need to deliver high quality mastery maths lessons.
This is the notebook file for an English unit where students will write their own Mayan Stories. I teach this unit with my Year 6 class towards the end of the Mayan topic when the class have a good knowledge of the Mayan Era. This notebook file contains the modelled write split up into sections to give students inspiration for their own writing.
This is a full unit of work (19 lessons) for English and Guided Reading for a Year 3 class who are exploring the book ‘Stone Age Boy’ by Satoshi Kitamura. All of the slides are prepared on smartnotebook and the unit takes the children through the book using talk for writing strategies. There are lessons on grammar and punctuation, using adjectives, similes and writing descriptions and the lessons build up to the children writing their own version of the story “Bronze Age boy or girl” or “Iron Age boy or girl”.
This is a high quality modelled write about cinemas that I use with my Year 3 class to model what a non-chronological report should look like. It contains the key features of an information text: headings, subheadings, a picture, an introduction etc. As well as the key grammatical features that Year 3/4 children should be aiming to use (fronted adverbials, FANBOYS, subordinate clauses, brackets, questions, exclamations and colons).
In the lesson, I would get the children to read the text and discuss what they have learnt from it. They could develop the skills of scanning and skimming and re-calling key information. Then, I ask them to highlight the key features of a non-chronological report. Finally, they could search for high quality language, facts or punctuation that they would like to use in their own writing.
A great introduction to rounding for Year 3 or 4 children and perfect as a revision lesson for Year 5 and 6. I have three challenges - each one slightly harder.
This is a fun activity for KS2 children when they are learning about the major rivers in the world. They can cut out and mix up the pictures, places and river names and then match them up again.
Great for Year 5 and 6 children when they are first learning about circle properties and struggle to remember the words radius, diameter and circumference. They can use it as a revision prompt or a help sheet.
This is a cut and stick activity for children to use when learning about circuits. They cut out all of the pictures and match the picture to the circuit symbol and definition. I use with my Year 6 class but could definitely be used with younger children with some adult support.
Here is a collection of pictures of typical Victorian jobs. I get the children to draw a Venn Diagram or Caroll Diagram in their book, cut out the pictures and stick them in. They could sort them between rich jobs and poor jobs or jobs for children and jobs for adults.
This sheet comprises of 1 large map of the world so children can see where the Mayans were located. Then it zooms in on the specific area so children can see the different shapes of the key countries. Children use an atlas to locate the countries, label, colour in and make a key.
This is a cut and stick activity where children need to cut out and order the journey of a red blood cell through the circulatory system. I get my Year 6 class to do this after they’ve watched videos and about the circulatory system and acted it out! Note - the sheet is currently in the correct order - you might want to re-order or pre-cut before giving to children.
