Leaf activity ideas which can be printed, cut up and laminated into cards for use in the outdoors with Foundation Phase pupils. Activities include sorting, measuring, colours, describing, symmetry and making things, all using leaves.

A differentiated worksheet to cover time as part of my Year 1 class zoo project. File contains 4 slightly different versions where pupils either complete clock faces, read clock faces and record the time, or a mixture of both. The first is just O'CLOCK times, progressing on to a mixutre if O&'CLOCK and HALF PAST, and then including QUARTER TO/PAST for more able. Would also suit more able reception or less able Year 2.

Worksheet where pupils have to divide popular meals into their food groups (e.g. spaghetti bolognese -> spaghetti (carbohydrates) beef (meat/protein) tomato (fruit&veg). I used this with my Year 3 class as part of a healthy eating topic, after studying the well-known "healthy plate" diagram showing the proportion of food groups we should eat. There is also a follow-up homework task, where pupils use the meals they eat over the weekend to complete the food groups task. Also included is a simple research task, finding out which fruit and vegetables are usually grown in the UK, and which countries are the main producers of others, with a couple of additional data handling-type questions at the end. My class completed it using the internet, although this could also be done as a homework task, with pupils researching fruit and vegetables at the supermarket.

Pupils have to complete a timetable for the pirates to tell them what times to do their chores on the ship, using analogue and digital clocks . Three differentiated versions; 'o'clock times....'o'clock' & 'half past'....'quarter to', 'quarter past', 'o'clock' & 'half past'.

Differentiated tallying task. Just give pupils a handful of counters (differentiate by how many you give them) and allow them to count each colour, recording their results on the tally chart, and then answer a few simple data handling questions underneath.

A Venn diagram template, with square images of different musical instruments ready to cut and stick onto the diagram, which can be sorted according to your chosen criteria.

Differentiated (3 ability levels) versions of a counting in 5s worksheet based on the 3 little pigs and counting in 5s to work out quantities of building materials the little pigs need to build their houses.

Three differentiated versions of a worksheet using open number lines to find the difference between 2-digit numbers by counting on in steps. Created for my Year 3 class, but suitable for Year 2 or 4. 1) (LA) Finding the difference between 2-digit numbers (differences less than 20 - round to next 10, add 10, then count on to target number) 2) (MA) Finding the difference between 2-digit numbers (differences more than 20 - round to next 10, add multiple of 10, then count on to target number) - with numbers at each end of the number lines to scaffold 3) (HA) Finding the difference between 2-digit numbers (differences more than 20 - round to next 10, add multiple of 10, then count on to target number)

Three differentiated versions of a worksheet using open number lines to find the difference between 2-digit numbers by counting on in steps. Created for my Year 3 class, but suitable for Year 2 or 4. 1) (LA) Finding the difference between 3-digit numbers - numbers at each end of the number lines and some of the jumps and '+' signs put in place for extra scaffolding. 2) (MA) Finding the difference between 3-digit numbers - with numbers at each end of the number lines to scaffold. 3) (HA) Finding the difference between 3-digit numbers - blank number lines.

3 differentiated worksheets (in the same file) I made for my Year 3 class, but would be suitable for Year 4 too. Worksheet 1- More able - 18 questions - subtracting 3 digit numbers, using borrowing. Worksheet 2 - Middle group - 18 questions - q1-9 subtracting 2 digit numbers using borrowing / q10-18 subtracting 3 digit numbers, using borrowing Worksheet 3 - Less able - 12 questions - subtracting 2 digit numbers using borrowing.

Maths word problems I wrote for my Year 3 class to practise for tests. There are 2 pages for each group, each with word problems needing a range of different Year 3 maths skills. We are doing a pond/rock pool topic at the moment, so the questions are all about a fisherman called Fred! The questions are differentiated for 3 different levels (The wording of the questions is simplified slightly for the lower ability. All three levels are differentiated by the difficulty of numbers used, whether carrying is needed, etc). Lower ability sheet would also suit Year 2, and higher ability sheet would suit less able Year 4 pupils.

Three differentiated time worksheets. I made them for my Year 3 class, but depending on ability they could be used from Year 1 up to Year 4. Each set is differentiated with 3 different versions *o'clock and half past *o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to *5 minute intervals (e.g. ten past five, twenty to seven, etc) Each worksheet asks children to complete analogue clocks to show time times given to help Santa get all his chores done around the North Pole.

Each set is differentiated with 3 different versions *o'clock and half past *o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to *5 minute intervals (e.g. ten past five, twenty to seven, etc) Each worksheet asks pupils to complete digital clocks to help the elf get his jobs finished on time so he has time left to make presents.

Each set is differentiated with 3 different versions *o'clock and half past *o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to *5 minute intervals (e.g. ten past five, twenty to seven, etc) Each worksheet asks children to complete both analogue and digital clocks to help children do Christmas jobs round the house (make cookies, set the table, wrap presents, etc) before Santa comes.

I made these for my Year 1 class during a zoo topic. There are three things included in this bundle... Animal movement - A5 sheet with animal photos where pupils have to describe how each one moves (good to use whilst watching YouTube animal clips!) Thinking skills - Used to record ideas about animals in a thinking skills animal habitat activity, where we created a small world consisting of different types of habitat, and pupils were given toy animals, which they had to place in a habitat and justify their choice. Animal sorting task (differentiated) - This sorting task comes with templates for sorting animals using your choice of criteria using a table, Venn diagram or Carroll diagram, and also selections of animal photos in small squares ready to cut up and use.

Three different sets of differentiated time worksheets. I made them for my Year 3 class, but depending on ability they could be used from Year 1 up to Year 4. Each set is differentiated with 3 different versions *o'clock and half past *o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to *5 minute intervals (e.g. ten past five, twenty to seven, etc) On the first set of worksheets, children must complete analogue clocks to show time times given to help Santa get all his chores done around the North Pole. On the second set, pupils must complete digital clocks to help the elf get his jobs finished on time so he has time left to make presents. The last set asks children to complete both analogue and digital clocks to help children do Christmas jobs round the house (make cookies, set the table, wrap presents, etc) before Santa comes. All the worksheets have colourful pictures of Santa, the elf and children doing their Christmas tasks. My class particularly liked the photo of Santa hanging out his washing!

Differentiated worksheets for 3 ability groups. I made these as we were converting measures and also doing a robots topic at the time. The task is to convert measurements and put them in order, (first from shortest to longest, and then from longest to shortest) in order to help Hiro and Baymax (from Big Hero 6) with their robot building projects. This could be followed up with some practical measuring and robot building if you wanted to.

3 differentiated worksheets for consolidating number bonds to 6. There are 'counters' in the boxes for the lower ability to help them generate their bonds. There more able pupils have to draw their own counters and bonds to match them. There are boxes for all bonds to 6, including reversing (e.g. 5+1=6, so 1+5=6) which is something we emphasised when we did this.
