This fun activity involves children using Google Earth to find a variety of places or things around the world. They aren’t specific places per se, but generally places. Examples include a football stadium, cactus, iceberg etc.
The idea of having generic places and things to find is that the children generally aren’t able to just do a text search. They have to actively seek and find!
Children can either using a snipping tool or PrtSc (Print Screen) to save a picture of the place/thing or they could provide the coordinates of their find.
This could either work as an individual competition - see who can find all the places in the quickest time. Or it could be done as a collective effort - the whole class working to find the different places before the time runs out.
I hope your children enjoy it as much as mine did!
This fun puzzle involves children using Google Earth to find a specific letter of the alphabet. All the letters are made-up from different features on earth such as buildings and rivers.
Each coordinate leads to a different letter. Once the children have recorded the letter, they can zoom out to find out and record what country it is in. Once they have all the letters, they have to rearrange them to make up the mystery word.
You can see all the answers by selecting the text in both the country and letter columns and changing the text colour. They are hidden in plain sight, so don’t forget to remove them if you are setting this as a document online.
This could either work as an individual competition - see who can find all the places in the quickest time. Or it could be done as a collective effort - the whole class working to find the different places before the time runs out.
Children and adults alike really enjoy this activity!
Extension ideas:
a) Have the children find their own letters around the world, or for more difficulty, in their local area.
b) Use the snipping or Print Screen (PrtSc) tool to copy images of letters and spell out a name or even a phrase.
This pack is made up of 4 worksheets for telling the time with am and pm as well as questions about time before and after.
Please see individual worksheets for more details on each.
Each worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc but could also be printed and used that way instead.
This worksheet comprises of four activities that all relate to the parts of the female reproductive system -vagina, cervix, ovary, fallopian tube, fimbriae, endometrium etc. The diagram is a front view of the system.
The activities are as follows:
Anagrams of the parts of the female reproductive system
Label a diagram with some of the parts of the female reproductive system
A word search with the parts of the system with extra bonus words hidden within
Describing the function of one or two of the parts
It serves as a review or follow-up to an introduction of the system and the basic process. Children are expected to know the names of the parts, how to spell them, identify them on a diagram and understand what their basic role is in the system.
The document is mostly editable so you can change some of the parts to suit your children’s needs.
The idea for this worksheet is that the children select a country from Europe to research and fill in the geographical facts. For example, population, languages, land area, currency, religion etc.
There is also a space for drawing and colouring in the flag and the background of the worksheet is a map of Europe, so children can also draw an arrow and/or colour in their chosen country.
The worksheet helps children gain a broader perspective of the world and a chance to compare to their own country. It’s also a great starting point for a more in depth study of a particular country.
The document is fully editable so you can change any information you please.
Great series of worksheets to bring structure and scientific inquiry in building electrical circuits.
Made up of four electrical circuit practical worksheets. Children have to complete one before proceeding to the next. Each successive one is more difficult than the previous.
Each page involves drawing drawing and building a circuit followed by testing it and answering related questions.
Children will build and test both series and parallel circuits.
*Requires that the children have the basic pieces to create each electrical circuit to test.
Circuit 1 - Comparing the brightness of one and two bulbs in series.
Circuit 2 - Comparing the speed of one and two motors in series.
Circuit 3 - Parallel circuits and a logic diagram.
Circuit 4 - Freestyle circuit building, testing and evaluating.
We study the Storm Unicorn by Pie Corbett during literacy. Leading up to this we look at other examples before the children write their own (non-chronological) report with the aid of the text.
This is a re-write of the Storm Unicorn called the Time Unicorn. Sub-titles have been added in as we encourage the use of them for better organisation.
There is also another report by Pie Corbett called the Frost Unicorn which we use in addition to this as another example report text. I also have another re-write in my store called the Candy Unicorn.
The document is fully editable so you can change parts as you please.
This worksheet contains pictures of all 8 planets in our solar system with their names. The idea is for the children to cut them up and stick them in the correct position in order from the sun.
Simple, fun and effective way for children to remember their order. As an additional task they could make up their own mnemonic to help them more easily remember their order.
I hope you like this resource! Please leave a review if you have a moment. Thank you.

The first part of this A3 board game document is based on Snakes and Ladders. The board is fully editable, with the ability to type in the spaces as well as move around the snakes and ladders.
The second part of the document contains the same board, but this time with question mark spaces and fully editable question cards to use with it. This way, the board game can be used in a variety of different subjects.
Children really love using the board games to review topics. I’ve used it in English, science and maths as well as other subjects. The ability to answer a question allows the student to roll the die again and the snakes and ladders add that extra element of fun and luck to the game. Children can use anything as counters in the game. We usually have a mishmash of coins, pencil sharpeners and erasers.
As you can see from the preview, the board game itself is very colourful. However, I’ve also included black and white versions of each game if you need to cut costs a bit.
I hope your children enjoy it as much as mine do. If you like it, please kindly leave a review. Thank you.
Large activity and puzzle sheets for 6 different body systems - digestive, respiratory, circulatory, skeletal and the male and female reproductive systems.
Please see individual previews for further details. If you like the pack and have a moment, please kindly leave a review. Thank you.
On this A3 worksheet, children create a key and colour in the countries on the map of Asia. Except for the map, this document is fully editable.
Instructions: a) Select and write down the names of 15 countries, found in Asia, in the key below. b) Assign a different colour for each country and then colour in the corresponding location on the map of Asia. c) Mark on either the names of the oceans and seas, or some of the capital cities.
You could also have the children draw on famous human-made or natural landmarks.
This worksheet could be printed out, but was designed to be completed by children online in Google Docs. It’s made up of 4 questions, a bonus and an extension task.
Each question involves a table shape with different numbers of cells shaded different colours. Children have to identify the fraction of each of the colours shaded. It builds in difficulty up to where the children then have to place the fractions in order of size.
The bonus question involves ordering fractions with different denominators.
It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.
This worksheet comprises of a fill in the blanks paragraph all about electrical conductors and insulators, a space for a experiment setup diagram and a results table.
The children are expected to complete the fill in the blanks activity first. You could help them out by providing a word bank on the board/projector.
They should then draw a circuit which will enable them to test the conductivity of different materials. For this you will ideally need some batteries, wires and either a motor, LED or Light bulb. I usually have children work in pairs for the experiment but complete their own worksheet.
Before testing the materials the children have selected they need to make a prediction or hypothesis about whether their material will conduct electricity or not.

This is a standalone activity I do in ICT to help chidlren learn how to create tables tables in Microsoft Word, select cells and shade cells with different colours. The children could even add text to a cell as part of the art or merge cells.
In this document are four ready made examples of what sort of table/pixel art they could create whilst mastering these skills.
You could provide them as examples or even provide the table outline as a template for the children to work on, although if they’re able to, it’s better to have them create their own table.
This is a fully editable A3 board game template which comes in both colour and black and white and also with a set of different sized question cards.
Every part of the board game is editable. You can move parts where you like, type in the playing squares, adjust titles etc.
All the children need are some dice and counters (which could be anything from a block to a coin).
The question cards can be typed up by you or the children or you could print blank ones and they could write their own. The great thing about this game is it’s versatility. We use it to review anything from comprehension questions in literacy to word problems in maths. If a child lands on a question space, they select a question card and if they answer it correctly then they roll again.
Also included on the board are snakes (for going down) and ladders (for climbing up). I’ve also included a few other fun ideas like a hospital square and different scenarios for landing on a particular square.
Needless to say, the children love playing it and it’s also fun for them to edit it and create their own if there’s enough time.
This worksheet contains the five elements of a story along one side and on the other are paragraphs from an example adventure story called, Amy’s Adventures in Egypt.
Children need to read the excerpts and match them up with the correct part of the story.
