This series of lessons teaching collage through art lessons. Throughout these lessons, children will:

create a collage based on ‘The Dance’ by Henri Matisse
investigate and combine the visual qualities of materials to create a collage

A fantastic and engaging game that my class love.
Simply give each child a card and get them to walk around the classroom. When they meet another child, they should high five them and say, “Quiz, quiz, trade.” Each child then asks the other child their question, when they both give the correct answers, they can trade cards and then continue to move around until they meet somebody else. If a child gets the answer one, a child can help support them by prompting/giving clues as they have the correct answer on their card.
My class absolutely love this game and don’t realise just how much they’re learning when they play it!

A brilliant resource for children to apply their learning of 2D shapes. They need to choose a colour for each shape on their key and then colour in the 2D shapes accordingly. The worksheet address regular and irregular shapes. The children really enjoyed this activity and this was a great way to demonstrate their learning.

An annual reading tracker to be completed by anyone to track the books read over the year. Simply colour in a book from the stack from the current month and colour it in and label it to look like the spine of the book you’ve just read. A great way to remember the books you’ve enjoyed over time and a great reward strategy for less enthusiastic readers! Enjoy :)
Each child receives a loyalty card with their name on and their own personalised target for their weekly spelling tests e.g. ‘to get at least 10 spellings correct,’ ‘to get full marks.’ (There is an allocated section on the card where each child’s target can be written.)Each time the child then meets their target they can add a sticker to their honeycomb collection on the reverse side of the card. Once they’ve received 6 stickers they receive a prize. (I have a box of small prizes including pencils, rubbers, stickers etc).
Whilst the resource motivates children to succeed on their spelling test it also recognises the range of needs in each class and the need for differentiation regarding the words set and their targets.
A great reward! My class are extremely driven by it.
It’s really important to discuss the different language used around the different operations. This activity will allow children to discuss and compare the different terminology used for the two operations, addition and subtraction.
A classification activity for children learning about ‘Living Things and their Habitats.’ This resource includes 2 Venn Diagrams (one more complex than the other) and 1 Carroll Diagram. The children can then add their own criteria to the diagrams e.g. has a back bone, lives in the desert and then should use the images (also included) to classify the animals and plants. Children could also draw their own images. This resource is completely ready to go! Enjoy :)
An engaging activity where children must find the fractions of amounts to crack the code set by Detective Denominator.
I have created three different versions of this to allow for easy differentiation in the classroom.
Version A: Finding unit fractions of amounts less than 40.
Version B: Finding unit and non-unit fractions of amounts less than 40.
Version C: Finding non-unit fractions of amounts less than 90.
Children must go on a word hunt (around the classroom or in reading books) to find contractions. They must sort the contractions they find in this grid based on the second word.
My class absolutely loved making this! After learning about Henry VIII and his six wives during our Tudors topic, the children created an ‘information circle’ for each wive which can then be folded and stuck back to back to create an information text brilliant for wall displays! My PDF file here includes an image of my completed one and then the templates of the 7 circles needed and Henry VIII’s upper body. Enjoy! :)
