This worksheet allows children to write down an idea and action plan for a New Year’s resolution. I do this with my children each year but encourage them to only choose one resolution, which is relevant and challenging, but not too much so. Once they have decided, they then write a detailed action plan for how to see it through. We then revisit what they wrote at a later date to check on their progress. Part A) What is your New Year’s Resolution? Example sentence starters: This year, I really want to… I want to be better at… I want to learn how to… Part B) What is your action plan? What steps will you do to make sure your resolution is successful?

This is a spinning wheel which is made of two parts, an top wheel which has a window and a door and a bottom wheel which has the questions and answers on respectively. Instructions: a) Print out the template on card. b) Children then write an operation, for example, 3x6 in the inner section, and write the answer in the outer section. Complete each part of the pie with other operations. c) Cut out the sections of other top wheel except the dotted line which will be a fold for the door. (You may need a cuter or Stanley knife for this). d) Use a push pin to attach the wheels together so they will spin. Decorate the wheels and then cut out. Usage: With the little flap door closed, spin or turn the top wheel to reveal an operation. Try and answer it before opening the flap to reveal the correct answer. *I usually use this for children to review a the more difficult of the timestables but it could be adapted for other short question and answers that require a bit of rote learning. It just makes it all that more fun to do. *

This worksheet comprises two parts. The first is a fill in the blanks section where ideally the children test objects using a light source and fill in with the help of the words from the table. The second part can also involve some testing done throughout the day or could be done after the fact. It involves drawing where the sun would be at different times of the day and then drawing an object and its corresponding shadow. Children learn about the ways that a shadow can be affected and how and relate it to the shadows of objects caused by everyday objects blocking light from the sun. As an extra fun activity, have the children draw around their own shadows at different points during the day. It helps to have a compass too to record the direction the sun is shinning in. *This download comes as both a PDF and a fully editable DOC, so you can change it to suit your needs. *

This worksheet entails children finding objects in the classroom to first fit a certain length range - Less than, more than and between lengths. Second, it asks that children find other objects and record and measure the exact length using a ruler or tape measure. It also has a column where they can estimate or predict the length of the object. I usually use it as an follow up to an introduction to length, measuring and measuring tools. It’s perfect for teaching about the phrases; less than, greater, than, equal to as well as how to estimate and to measure length using various tools. The download comes both as a PDF and fully editable DOC, so you can make changes as you please.

As it says on the can! Can be used to follow up nearly any kind of field trip. Includes spaces for basic information such as where and when as well as spaces for likes, dislikes, lessons learned and a box for a drawing.

Practical worksheet for comparing the masses of various objects that can be found in the classroom. Children select objects to compare using a set of scales. They have to find objects that are heavier than, equal too and lighter than. Used to help teach about comparing mass and using scales. Comes as a fully editable DOC and also in PDF format. *Ideally requires the children to use a set of balance-beam scales, although any type of scale for measuring mass could be used. *

This worksheet involves questions that relate to the text of Pie Corbett’s Storm Unicorn. The questions cover basic recall and then move onto more advanced comprehension skills such as inference. The final section leaves a space for the children to attempt to draw the Storm Unicorn based on the details of the report. It encourages children to think flexibly and relates the plight of the unicorn with that of rhino’s. It also opens up a wealth of discussion surrounding that point too. I usually use this after the children have read, mapped and analysed the report in detail first. It acts a good gauge for their understanding. *The document is fully editable so you can change questions as you please. *

We study the Storm Unicorn by Pie Corbett during literacy. Leading up to this we look at other examples before the children write their own (non-chronological) report with the aid of the text. This is a re-write of the Storm Unicorn called the Candy Unicorn. Sub-titles have been added in as we encourage the use of them for better organisation. There is also another report by Pie Corbett called the Frost Unicorn which we use in addition to this as another example report text. The document is fully editable so you can change parts as you please.

This worksheet comprises of three activities relating the oceans and continents of the world. The activities are as follows: a) Anagrams of the oceans and continents of the world. b) Label a world map with the oceans and continents of the world. c) Choose three continents and write down three countries for each. Children may need an atlas or access to Google Maps or existing world map for this. It serves as a review or follow-up to an introduction to the oceans and continents of the world. Children are expected to know the names of the of them all, how to spell them and be able to locate them on a map of the world. The document is mostly editable so you can change some of the parts to suit your children’s needs.

This worksheet uses the game of darts to help consolidate knowledge of addition and subtraction. It can be used with or without a real board and darts. You could even use an online game instead. It really helps add some extra enjoyment to maths! The first section of the worksheet involves getting accustomed to the board - knowing what each section of the board is worth. This involves some multiplying by two and three for doubles and triples, but repeated addition could be used for younger learners. The second part of the sheet involves calculating a score of three darts and then subtracting that total from 101, which is this particular game of darts. The final part involves continuing the game and trying to finish with exactly zero. A professional game of darts usually finishes with a double but it could be a single number to make it more likely new players can finish. The worksheet comes in a DOC format, so most parts are easily editable.

This worksheet contains a short biography on the life of Amelia Earhart who we study about in our flight unit. The mistakes cover both spelling and punctuation problems as well as grammar issues. The final section involves a word search puzzle with key words from the text. The children take on the roles of a teacher in this exercise as they attempt to find as many mistakes in the biography as they can. They are also encouraged to make corrections. Try and big up the role reversal aspect with some acting for greater engagement in the activity. Children also enjoy using highlighters or red pens for this.

The Challenge This Code Breaker Challenge is made up of 4 challenge sheets, each containing three sets of questions about subtraction as well as an instruction section written in code. There is also a final challenge sheet for obtaining the master lock key. The Setup Ideally, the Code Breaker Challenge requires a box which can be locked with four three digit combination locks and one padlock. See the attached picture as an idea for the setup. It could however be done without this, but wouldn’t be quite as fun for the children. How to Use Fill the box with treasure, for example some sweets and then setup the combinations on each of the locks and lock the box with them and the master lock. Split the class up into four teams and provide each team with one of the challenge sheets. Start a timer of approximately 30 minutes (depending on the ability and age of your class). Each team works together to solve the challenge and tell the teacher the three digit code. If they got it correct, they may open their lock. If not, then they will need to check their answers. Once all four combination locks have been opened, or even after the first team has finished, provide the master lock challenge. If they complete it correctly and within the time, they can then have the master lock key to open the treasure box. Great Fun! The children absolutely love the Code Breaker Challenge and we repeat it at the end of every major maths unit. They really need to work together and check their work carefully if they are to succeed in opening the box and retrieving the treasure within. The documents is fully editable so you can use it as a template to create your own challenges if you like. You can also use it for other subjects as well, but it definitely lends itself to maths the most. I hope you and your children enjoy it as much as mine do! This challenge is one in many. Please take a look at my shop for other units. Thank you.

This set is made up of three different worksheets. Each one has five different flags in the middle and on either side of the flags are the corresponding country and continent names (not in order). The objective is for the children to look up the country in an atlas or on the internet and then discover its flag and continent. They then need to colour the flag correctly and draw arrows to join up the flags to the correct country name and continent. See the image preview to get a better idea of how it works. It’s a great activity to get the children using book and internet resources independently. The download includes a fully editable DOC as well as a PDF.

This worksheet is split into two parts. The first involves putting the stages of digestion in order from 1-7 and the second part involves highlighting the key organs in each part and then naming the five parts shown. This worksheet is suitable for both online work (as a doc shared in Google Classroom for example) and as a printed worksheet. A black and white copy is available on the second page for the latter. Extra Ideas to Accompany: Upon review have the children point to a diagram or model and talk through the process. Have the children make a model of the digestive system using plastercine, fabrics or even junk around the house or garden. Why not download one of my other digestive system worksheets.

This A3 worksheet is made up of two activities relating the digestive system. The first activity is a crossword which comprises a description of the functions of different parts. The second activity involves labeling the parts of the digestive system scattered around the crossword. Here are some example questions/clues for the crossword… Muscular tube which moves ingested food to the stomach. Produces digestive enzymes. Where food enters the body. Parts and other keywords covered in the worksheet include… Mouth, teeth, oesophagus, stomach, bile, acid, small and large instestine, pancreas, liver, gall-bladder, recyum, anus etc. This worksheet works as a nice review for individual or pair work. It gives you a chance to see if the children can identify the function and ID different parts of the digestive system.

10 multiplication word problems involving 1-digit and 2-digit numbers. The first 6 involved no exchanging but the final 4 do. The questions increase in complexity as they progress, leading up to 2 and even 3-step solutions. Numbers are all written as words and pictures are included for each question as well as enough space for the children to show their working and answer. Here is an example question: Alex bought five packets of cookies to share with his friends. Each packet contained eleven cookies but the last one had three missing because his sister had eaten them.
