This is a comprehension task regarding the Vikings.
For each question they complete accurately, they get to save 1 of the Viking horde from the group at the bottom of the page.

Dear All,
Here’s a small resource that involves sorting angles between acute, right and obtuse.
I set it as a homework, but it’s editable for use in lessons too.
Hello all!
Here’s a 3-way differentiated resource for getting children into groups of understanding using column subtraction. I use this with my year 3 and 4 children, and they love getting into role to complete it.
The task involves children interviewing for three different jobs in Ancient Egyptian society: High priest, Scholar or Pharaoh. The job they get depends on their answers to the questions- you can discuss that, whilst there was a heirarchy, without people in every role, society wouldn’t exist.
A pack of resources that includes two comprehension activities based around Erik The Viking book by Terry Jones. There’re also some grammar activities.
This is a 4-page script for The Lion King. It’s for a performing arts event for the musical theatre section.
I wrote the narration in verse, and included two songs: Be Prepared and I Can’t Wait To Be King.
Planning and write-up sheet for a setting description focussing on scents, sights and sounds.
This work is based on The Uncommoners: The Crooked Sixpence by Jennifer Bell.
This is a sheet that I used for homework with my high-ability Year 3 cohort. It involves the children using maths language or talk for maths sentence starters to explain their reasoning as to whether questions, such as the following, are true or false.
When you simplify 3/9, the new fraction is 1.5/4.5.
The numerator is the total number of parts.
Children can choose which questions they answer, giving them more ownership and allowing for self-differentiation.
LO: To explain answers with mathematical evidence.
Here is a quick and easy isolated gramma rlesson on commonly-misspelled words.
There’s a task on of/off, our/are and a challenge, matching activity for to/too.
It’s differentiated in regards of expectation too!
Enjoy!
Hello, fellow teachers!
Here’s a pack of resources for teaching past and present tenses using simple and progressive forms.
There is a differentiated resource for converting between them, including challenges and extensions.
There is also a powerpoint presentation for inputting the lesson!
Hello Fellow Teachers,
Here is an apocalypse adventure-themed, home learning project that will be used whilst the children are off school- it’s perfect for distance learning due to the tasks being able to be completed independently. This resource spreads across 6 tasks (could be set weekly or daily) which last for an hour-long each. The tasks included follow these learning objectives:
LO: To write dystopian narrative
LO: To write anon-chronological research report
LO: To write a fictional recount
LO: To write an instruction text
LO: To use non-verbal communication to portray character emotion
LO: To write in 3rd person, past tense
This task would work great for high-ability KS2 (Key Stage 2) or Key Stage 3 (KS3) children.
I upload my tasks as both an editable .docx / Word document, and as a PDF in case the alignment doesn’t work on your computers.

COVID-19 has flummoxed us all, and it is vital that we ensure none of the children in our care get left behind in any facet of English language learning. This Recovery Curriculum document outlines key, end-of-year expectations for Year 4 in line with the National Curriculum strands for English.
In this document, Year 3 expectations are included in the left-hand column and act as prerequisites to tick off before a child moves on to the Year 4 expectation. This acts as a net to catch any gaps that may have manifested due to the time off in lockdown during the academic year of 2019-2020.
How do I use this product?
I will be sticking these into the back of the children’s books and ticking them off when completed.
They could also be assigned to a child digitally to save on paper and needless touching of joint resources.
