I currently work at the top end of Primary school in Year 5/6. I create resources for a range of subjects and am always open to suggestions for resources people require.

An eleven lesson sequence that gives a brief introduction and overview of events in Europe following the end of the First World War. The sequence will focus on the end of the war and what followed with the Treaty of Versailles, some of the key events in the 1920's, the change in British politics, the rise of Hitler and the following actions that broke the Treaty of Versailles and policy of appeasement. All of the resources needed to run the lessons are included such as presentations and activities as well as the planning. These lessons have been written with upper KS2 and lower KS3 in mind but should be easily adaptable for KS4 students as well.
Lesson 1 - Chronological order
Lesson 2 - The Treaty of Versailles
Lesson 3 - The Treaty of Versailles
Lesson 4 - The Dawes Plan
Lesson 5 - Changes in British politics
Lesson 6 - Wall Street Crash/ Great Depression
Lesson 7 - Rise of Hitler
Lesson 8 - Propaganda/ Source Analysis
Lesson 9 - Revoking the Treaty of Versailles
Lesson 10 - Appeasement
Lesson 11 - Evaluating Appeasement
Also included is a brief knowledge organiser as well as a diamond 9 activity to evaluate the Treaty of Versailles.
A lesson made for Year 6 as a simple revision of written multiplication. Included is an arithmetic starter, examples to discuss and practice questions to then check understanding before a practice activity and three different challenge activities for those who are confident.
Two lessons based on finding fractions of amounts and finding the whole based on fractions of amounts.
Each lesson has a lesson presentation and practise sheet that goes with the questions so children can practise during the teaching. This is then followed up by a worksheet with practise questions as well as deeper thinking questions.
A triple lesson that focuses on being able to use written multiplication with 2 digit numbers. Included is a PowerPoint for the lessons that includes an arithmetic starter as well as an activity with answers and challenge activities for those that are confident.
A triple lesson that focuses on being able to use the short written division method when dividing by 2 digits. Included is a PowerPoint for the lessons that includes an arithmetic starter as well as an activity with answers and challenge activities for those that are confident.
Four worksheets working on division using the short division method. The first sheet works on being able to divide into decimal numbers using 5 to always get a round answer. The second sheet then looks at word problems with a divisor of one digit. The third sheet moves on to dividing by two digit numbers before then moving on to word problems involving two digit divisors.
A planning overview resource to support the teaching of Science across KS2. Every KS2 topic is included with each planning overview following the same structure:
Knowledge children must know - This provides a minimum level of what is expected for children to know by the end of the unit and provides consistency across classes. This also helps ensure progression and cohesion between topics.
Ways of knowing they know - Ideas for checking understanding and knowing that children have learnt the minimum level of knowledge.
Vocabulary - Key vocabulary across the unit that children will need to understand
Other links - Links to other subjects and ideas for investigations for each topic
These sheets help start the planning process by making it clear what children should know by the end for staff to then use and link together in a sequence of learning. This then feeds through KS2 as it ensures a minimum level of knowledge that supports progression and cohesion across the science curriculum.

List of coordinates that when done accurately creates a man with a tie, shirt and jacket on. I am using this myself for children to then colour in and add detail e.g. hair, jacket, tie and then stick on the front of a card that they will write in for fathers day.
Can also just be used as an activity for practising coordinates.
Extracts from all seven Harry Potter books with three sets of differentiated questions attached with each extract. These activities will help children work on a range of comprehension skills using a story many are already aware of and engaged with. Questions range from simple retrieval to commenting on why particular language has been used.
