A quick worksheet where children can match map symbols to their meanings. Makes a good starter for a Geography lessons using ordnance survey (OS) maps.

I have used this as a Literacy Starter in Year 3. I cut up the different parts of sentences and gave them out. Each child had to find a partner who would complete their sentence. You could also use this as a main activity for Lower Ability children.

Three weeks of Literacy planning based upon 'The BFG' by Roald Dahl. All lesson outcomes are differentiated at least 3 ways. Obviously, this planning is based upon the requirements of the class I had at the time and may need altering before you use it with your own class. However, it might be a good starting point if you are planning a Literacy unit on The BFG. =)

During a Year 5 Unit on 'Aquila' by Andrew Norriss, I wanted to encourage my higher ability pupils to look for evidence in the text to support their character descriptions. The first activity asks the children to come up with words to describe either Tom or Geoff. For each characteristic, they must then find the evidence in the text, noting down a quotation and the page number it was found on. After this, I asked the children to compare Tom and Geoff including evidence from the text. I provided them with an example that compares the two teachers instead. This way, they could see how I expected the work to be laid out. I have included the initial table for recording evidence from the text as well as the example I gave them for the main task.

Included: - A table of Modal Simple, Passive Modal Simple, Modal Perfect and Passive Modal Perfect examples. There is space for the pupils to write their own examples too. - A homework worksheet on which children can practise using the present perfect tense as well as modal verbs in the form of a written conversation. - A homework sheet for lower ability children to identify sentences written in past, present and future tenses. - A prompt sheet to encourage children to use the modal perfect tense correctly e.g. would have not would of Check out my shop! - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/juliannebritton

I created these resources for a Year 3 lesson on London Landmarks. This was part of a larger unit of work on British Landmarks. The children had to research facts about various London landmarks, completing a table and answering questions. I provided each table with a range of books and information sheets (not included) about London Landmarks. They also had access to laptops to aid them with their research. In this pack, you will find the differentiated tables for children to complete using their research. I have also included the questions for each ability group. The SEN and lowest ability children have got sentence starters to help them write about what they found. I have also included a sheet I used with an EAL child, on which they had to match the images of London landmarks to their names. The children enjoyed finding out about different London landmarks and were telling me facts for weeks. I hope this pack can be useful to you too. =)

A set of classroom posters displaying the french words for various classroom instructions.

In this Science lesson, children consider which foods are best for growth and muscle reparation (proteins) and which foods are best for giving us energy (carbohydrates). One of the activities asks children to sort different foods into a table, deciding whether they are best for growth or activity. They then create a diet for an athlete and a diet for a child using what they have learnt. They should be able to explain why they have chosen the foods they have as well as explaining the differences between the two diets.

These Maths activities were created for a problem solving lesson. They are based on similar questions found in SATs papers. The pack includes 5 differentiated activities which involve the children selecting number cards and rearranging them to create different numbers. They must use logic and reasoning skills and show an understanding of place value. I was very happy with this lesson and the children enjoyed it too. =)

I created these resources while teaching the Year 3 history topic, 'The Stone Age'. The aim of this lesson was to be able to identify problems and challenges faced by Stone Age people. During the first part of this lesson, the class were split into boys and girls. Each group explored the school grounds with an adult. Scattered around the premises were Problem Cards (included in this pack) explaining various dilemmas that Stone Age men and women would have dealt with. The children loved this activity and when they returned to class, they were able to discuss the similarities and differences between the lives of Stone Age men and Stone Age women. Most children then wrote a diary entry from the point of view of a Stone Age person, explaining the problems they had faced, how it would have made them feel and how they would have dealt with them. The lower ability children used the other resource in this pack and they began by sorting Stone Age problems and Modern Day problems.

As part of a Year 3 Geography Topic on 'Our Local Area', I took my class on a walk around the local streets. Whilst walking, most children used a key to colour the buildings on a map, identifying the land use (e.g. commercial, residential, educational, recreational etc.). However, this wasn't suitable for the lower ability children in my class so I gave them pictures of different buildings and they had to tally how many of each type of building they saw. When they returned to class, they could then cut out pictures of the different buildings in order to make their own pictogram. These pictures and the pictogram template are included in this pack.

This Maths pack includes a range of data investigations for different ability groups. This is a great Statistics lesson. Each group of children is given a question to answer. They will think about how they can collect and record their data before presenting it in different ways using bar charts, pictograms, line graphs etc. The questions are included as well as explanations of each activity. I have also included tally chart templates for the lower ability groups.

This pack contains a range of Literacy and Maths targets/objectives on yellow and blue stars respectively. I originally created this resource for a 'Reach for the Stars' display for a Year 3 class. The children read the targets and knew what they had to aim for throughout the year.

I created this worksheet to be used as part of the Year 3 Science topic 'Rocks and Soils'. Children had to describe each rock using a range of scientific vocabulary which was provided. They then had to think about the properties of each rock and suggest uses for them.

A board game (with instructions) that allows children to practise doubling and halving various numbers using different vocbulary.

Investigations involving products and factors for higher ability maths group.

A sheet of various shapes on which children must label the right angles.

Differentiated worksheets involving doubling and halving on function machines.

This worksheet was created for a lesson in which the children were writing a newspaper report about the army helping to defeat the giants at the end of ‘The BFG’ by Roald Dahl. The worksheet is a simplified newspaper template to be used with lower ability groups. They have space to write a short paragraph using the 5Ws as well as a box where they can draw a picture of the event.
