An engaging activity where children must complete the addition calculations using the column method to crack the code. The code is an answer to a joke.
I have created three different versions of this to allow for easy differentiation in the classroom.
Version A: Adding 2-digit numbers without carrying
Version B: Adding 2-digit numbers with carrying
Version C: Adding 3-digit numbers with carrying
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.
48 matching prefix cards. 24 of the cards have prefixes on and the other 24 have the root words which can be matched with them. All words/prefixes are taken from the National Curriculum statutory spelling requirements for years 3/4.
Prefixes included are:
Un-

Ancient Egypt Medium-Term Plan (Graded Outstanding)
A medium term plan including the key learning expectations covered in History and Geography, ideas for continuous provision/enrichment and 12 in-depth lesson plans. Links to resources are included.
A knowledge organiser which is a summary of the key facts and essential knowledge that pupils need about a unit of work or a curriculum subject. The information is presented clearly and is broken down into easily digestible chunks.
All documents are presented impeccably.
Enjoy!
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.

A series of art lessons exploring sculpture. Children will:
create a musical instrument from recycled materials
use wax resist to create a pattern
create a collage in the style of an artist
recognise the work of Arcimboldo
create a figure casting a shadow
create a sculpture from reused materials
can explain how recycling and reusing helps the environment
create a sculpture in the style of El Anatsui
A series of art lessons based around Van Gogh. Children will use wax crayons, poster paints, colour mixing, shading, pastels, printmaking, marbling and batik throughout this topic. Included is also a knowledge organiser.
This series of lessons teaching collage through art lessons. Throughout these lessons, children will:
respond to the work of Henri Matisse
create a collage based on ‘The Dance’ by Henri Matisse
investigate and combine the visual qualities of materials to create a collage
to respond to the facial images produced by the artist Francis Bacon
to create my own distorted portrait collage
to use collage to produce a response to Andy Warhol’s Pop Art
This series of lessons teaching printmaking through 14 art lessons. Throughout these lessons, children will:
use a roller and printing ink to experiment with mark making
to use monoprinting
to select colours and surfaces to develop ideas
to record and reflect in sketchbooks
to create animal print monoprints
to use plasticine to produce a relief stamp
to investigate African printmaking
to create a relief print
to use collograph blocks to create prints
to plan a final piece based on the techniques learnt
to complete my final piece
Included is a series of 10 English lessons based on The High Street by Alice Melvin.
Throughout the lessons, children will learn about and apply their learning of nouns, adjectives, determiners, lists and rhyming words.
Learning objectives covered in this series of learning are:
To use the determiners ‘a’ and ‘an’ correctly.
To write a list.
To use commas in a list.
To use adjectives to describe nouns.
To write creatively.
To review and edit my writing.
By the end of the project, each child will have created their own version of The High Street zig-zag book.
This pack included all of my lesson plans for these ten lessons as well as copies of each resource needed.
I absolutely loved planning this and hope you enjoy the series of lessons.
Included is a 3 week plan for a lower key stage 2 class (year 3/4) on Fractions. This plan is extremely detailed with diagrams and resources included!
The following statutory requirements of the national curriculum are covered:
YEAR 3
Pupils should be taught to:
• count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10
• recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators
• recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators
• recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators
• add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole [for example, 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7 ]
• compare and order unit fractions, and non-unit fractions with the same denominators
• solve problems that involve all of the above
YEAR 4
Pupils should be taught to:
• recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions
• count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by one hundred and dividing tenths by ten.
• solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non-unit fractions where the answer is a whole number
• add and subtract fractions with the same denominator
• recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundredths
• recognise and write decimal equivalents to 1/4, 1/2 , 3/4
• find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths
• round decimals with one decimal place to the nearest whole number
• compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to two decimal places
• solve simple measure and money problems involving fractions and decimals to two decimal places.
