I have created this Trip Advisor theme template for researching different locations (countries/cities/towns). This is adapatable for all ages.

Venn diagram with images for children to cut out and stick in the correct sections of the venn diagram. The images are all related to Stone Age and Bronze Age and of course, some are related to both. Quick activity that doesn’t take up too much of your lesson but clearly shows their understanding.

This idea came about after playing the legendary game Linkee many times! It is a great way to test children’s knowledge of a variety of topics. It can be used as retrieval practice and really encourages deeper thinking as there could be many possibilities. It is also not limited to one subject and can be easily adapted for all ages and topics. This resource includes an editable template as well as several examples of how they can be used in lots of subjects. I hope you enjoy!

This resource is a great retrieval practice idea for you to use or adapt for your subject/class. Within the the resource I have shown you a way to use it for maths and a way for you to use it for history, but it could be used for pretty much every subject/topic I feel.

Tidy tub labels. I use them in the middle of each table so the children can put their paper rubbish and any other bits in there, instead of them getting up to go to the bin frequently. The tubs can then just be emptied at the end of the lesson/day :)

This is a fantastic resource for retrieval practice that can be used for a variety of lessons/subjects/topics and easily editable to suit. One way of using this to ask children something they learnt last lesson, last week, last term, last year etc. These particular resources are for: French (year 3 level) RE As I say though, these are easily adaptable to suit your needs.

This is a great resource for retrieval practice to test what the children have learnt in previous lessons/years. I have uploaded two different kinds for two different subjects to show you how they would work in different lessons. They are easily adaptable for your own topics/subjects. These particular resources are for: Ancient Egyptians Vaisakhi

This resource is comprised of a blank world map divided into 6 sections for you to cut into 6 jigsaw pieces. The idea was that the children could first see if they could correctly assemble the world map first without any guidance. There are then labels for the children to correctly match up the oceans (blue labels) and continents (green labels).

McDonalds theme synonym display. Lettering included. ‘I’m improvin’ it’ (the M in ‘improvin’ is the M for McDonalds. Synonym chips included also that can be put inside McDonalds fries packaging for children to pick out when they want a better word for their writing. Picture of example display included for reference.

A vocAPPulary template designed to look like a tablet/iPad to be used in a variety of lessons to draw/write definitions. I have used this in many different lessons and it’s worked well and looks lovely in books as an interactive flap!

Two resources. The first is a description of different Ancient Egyptian people and their jobs with a hierarchy pyramid for children to write the job titles where they think it would go (pharoah of course being at the top). The second resource is a template for Top Trumps where children can draw and describe particular Ancient Egyptian people/jobs and rate them according to their power/responsibility etc.

KWL grid to be used at the beginning and end of French topics to show what the children already know, what they would like to find out and what they have learnt.

Made from scratch resource, aimed to look like BBC iPlayer website. This has been used previously to describe different human/physical features in a particular region but can be adapted for any region. Children responded well to it and it was an engaging resource.

I have created this East Anglia introduction lesson where the children look at regions and create a key. They then identify the main counties. This lesson could be adapted to suit another England region.

These resources are great when focussing on the skill of reading French greetings such as ‘Bonjour’, ‘Salut’, ‘Au Revoir’, ‘Ca va’, ‘Je m’appelle’ etc. There are multiples resources including: Can they order a conversation in French? Can they read a basic conversation with fluency and correct pronunciation? Can they translate sentences from different characters?

Includes images to compare and contrast, videos to watch, quiz questions, pictures to cut out and stick in a venn diagram, then a writing opportunity after to apply understanding.

This lesson is an engaging resource where the children are classifying rocks based on their properties. When we completed this lesson, we had already done a lesson on the properties of different rocks so had findings to work with already. However, you could incorporate the properties into this lesson too. The lesson comes with the complete lesson PowerPoint and resources. Brief structure of lesson: Retrieval practice Name that rock Whole class quiz questions for property definitions Guided practice for classifying rocks Independent sorting and classifying rocks Challenge questions Extend to think about sorting into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic
