This resource is intended to be used to help teach the skills of the KS2 National Curriculum for Reading through 15 Guided Reading sessions using the book Good Dog McTavish by Meg Rosoff. Included in the pack: • Questions which focus on vocabulary, retrieval, inference, predictions, author intent, author technique and giving explanations for answers using evidence from the text. • Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Activities/Questions. • Reading and respond to the text activities. This resource has been used with KS2 classes to great effect and has boosted their reading skills and their comprehension scores.

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.

A brilliant whole class activity to practice learning of their 4 times tables.

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- Dis- Inter- Auto- Mis- Super- Sub- Re-

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

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

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.

A resource I’ve created when introducing my class to decimals. It begins by introducing the definition of the word decimal and then uses diagrams and images to explain this further. After teaching about tenths and hundredths, the children then complete a worksheet where they are identifying tenths and hundredths in decimal numbers with numbers with up to 2.d.p. We then move onto converting fractions into decimals, comparing decimals using <, > and = and ordering decimal numbers. There are three worksheets to support this lesson. This worked really well with my class and I now have a very confident group of children who enjoy learning about fractions!

A medium term plan including the key learning expectations covered in History and Geography, ideas for continuous provision/enrichment and 19 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. This series of lessons covers: • To demonstrate what I already know and want to know about Britain in the 1930’s and World War II To experience life as a child in 1930’s Britain To understand the importance of gas masks during World War II To make my own gas mask replica To understand the importance of National Identity cards during the war To learn about Operation Pied Piper To understand the importance of evacuation during World War II To find out about the experiences and feelings of evacuees To understand what WWII was and where, when and why it took place To understand how life changed for evacuees To understand the importance of Anderson shelters and to create a replica To learn about Land Girls and the role women had in the war To find out what rationing was, why it was necessary and how it impacted people’s lives To understand who was in charge during World War II To recognise the different planes used throughout World War II To understand what the Blitz was and which areas were most affected To understand the importance of propaganda posters To dance a war-time dance, The Lambeth Walk To understand why WWII ended and experience VE Day Throughout this series of lessons, the children will be in role as evacuees who have been evacuated from London to the countryside. Alongside the lessons, they will be documenting their experience in an evacuee diary. Throughout this term, children will be making anderson shelters, gas masks as well as cooking rations, writing (and posting!) letters home, making posters and celebrating victory in Europe with their very own VE day. By far, my favourite topic to teach and my class’s favourite topic to follow! Enjoy :)

An engaging and interactive teaching Powerpoint which teaches expanded noun phrases, gives a range of examples and provides many opportunities for the children to consolidate their learning, including: 3 interactive whole class discussions/activities Paired game where they consolidate their learning Independent writing activity

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!

This Equivalent Fractions bundle includes: A YouTube teaching video to support this learning (with over 15k views) A teaching PowerPoint with 47 slides Over 20 interactive activities/games 10 worksheets for children to complete This sequence of learning covers the following National Curriculum statutory requirements: recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and nonunit 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 recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions solve problems that involve all of the above.

An angles lesson I’m very proud of after seeing great progress in the classroom and being graded outstanding for this lesson. Complete lesson plan is included!! This lesson introduces angles and teaches the difference between right, acute and obtuse angles. This PowerPoint also includes 4 activities including using a hungry angle monster to hunt for right angles and using lollipop sticks to complete an angle investigation. The end of this PowerPoint leads nicely onto learning about triangles and using the children’s learning on angles to move onto this. I’ve also included all my resources included in this lesson, including definition cards and an extension spotting angles in clock faces.

The questions to go alongside the video of me reading chapter 1 of The Magic Place. Perfect for working on comprehension whilst home learning!
