This is a giant A3 sized crossword puzzle that I use to review our Ancient China unit at the end of term. I usually let children work in pairs if they want to. Also, initially I won’t let them consult any resources or ask questions, just to see how far they get first. There are more than 20 questions in total! Here are some of them to give you an idea of the level required. A type of ceramic invented by the Chinese. It is thin, strong, and beautiful. It is often called “china” in the west. A type of varnish used to protect items and make them more beautiful. A legendary monster that terrorized a Chinese village until they used fireworks and noise to scare it off. A revered mythical creature that has the long body of a serpent, sharp teeth, four legs with sharp talons, and can fly. This puzzle is would be suitable for upper KS2 and KS3.

This worksheet comprises of four activities that all relate to the parts of a plant cell - nucleus, nucleolus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, vacuole, cytoplasm, cell wall, cell membrane etc. The activities are as follows: Anagrams of the parts of a plant cell Label a diagram with some of the parts of a plant cell A word search with the parts of a plant cell with extra bonus words hidden within Describing the function of one or two of the parts It serves as a review or follow-up to an introduction of the parts of a plant cell. Children are expected to know the names of the parts, how to spell them, identify them on a diagram and understand what their basic role is. The document is mostly editable so you can change some of the parts to suit your children’s needs.

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.

This colourful worksheet is made up of 5 addition word problems of increasing difficulty. For each problem, the children are expected to draw a bar model using the template provided and then show their workings and answer, again using a provided outline. The final question involves children creating their own word problem for their friend to try and solve using the same methodology, The worksheet works even better if accompanied with manipulatives such as Base 10 blocks. The LO is for the children to be able to solve addition based word problems with the help of bar models. The document is fully editable so names, numbers and questions can be changed to suit your children’s needs.

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 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.

The idea for this worksheet is that the children select a country from Asia to research and fill in the geographical facts. For example, population, capital, languages, land area, currency, religion etc. There is also a space for drawing and colouring in the flag and the background of the worksheet is a map of Asia, so children can also draw an arrow and/or colour in their chosen country. The worksheet helps children gain a broader perspective of the world and a chance to compare to their own country. It’s also a great starting point for a more in depth study of a particular country. The document is fully editable so you can change any information you please.

This fact finding worksheet is made up of 10 statements about the human and physical geography of Thailand. Each statement has 1-3 blanks that the children have to fill in through either prior knowledge or researching on the internet or in books. The final section of the worksheet is a word search which contains many of the answers and other words too. Then the worksheet finished up with an open question about whether they would like to visit Thailand and why or why not. The worksheet serves as a nice introduction to various facts about Thailand and requires the children to think about what search terms to use to find the information they need effectively. I usually have the children work in pairs for this as they can bounce ideas off each other, discuss and divide the statements up between them. You can even provide a certain statement to each student in the class and then have them share their findings at the end for others to record.

In this worksheet children can read and learn about our teeth, label a diagram with the four types of teeth; incisors, canines, premolars and molars and fill in the blanks in a text about how teeth change as we grow. The descriptions given about each type of tooth should enable children to look at the structure of teeth in the diagram and label them correctly. For the second part, a fill in the blank exercise, the children should be able to fill it in based on its context. This worksheet is suitable both for online (as a doc in Google Classroom) and offline (as a printout). I hope you also find it useful. If you do, please leave a review!

This worksheet is made up of a short explanation text about the different diets in animals and humans and then a table containing three different animal skulls. Children should read the text and then looking at the skulls, suggest what animal they came from, what diet they think they might have and reasons why they think that. The skulls are a cat skull, a giraffe skull and a gorilla skull. For reasoning, the children should try and relate the structure of the teeth to their function. For example, I think the cat is a carnivore because it has lots of sharp teeth so it can tear, shred and rip meat off the bone. A nice warm-up or follow-up activity to this is to present a variety of other animal skull pictures and see if children can guess what animal they come from.

This worksheet contains six addition grids of increasing difficulty. The first has low single digit numbers whereas the final has higher double digit numbers, no larger than 20. Each A4 page contains two challenge grids so you can save on paper whilst still having enough space for those children who write large than others. Depending on your children’s ability, you can set the timer anywhere from a minute to five if necessary. It’s good way to assess their ability to perform arithmetic quickly and also makes for good homework practice. My children generally really enjoy the challenge!

This quiz contains eight questions (with answers) which are all word problems involving length and distance. The calculations are mostly addition and subtraction with some basic multiplication towards the end. There are a range of metric units use, mostly km. For each question a one-minute timer is provided which will start when clicked. You could use it as the actual timer for children to do the working or you could have it as a final minute timer which is what I usually do. Play it by ear. After each question when the answer is revealed, we go through the working on the board and create bar models to help explain where necessary. The quiz is fully editable so you can easily change the content. I like to use the names of children from my class to make it more personalised. I also spent time creating a colourful and well-designed template too so you can reuse this quiz format for other topics and subjects also.

This worksheet could be printed out, but was designed to be completed by children online in Google Docs. It’s made up of 10 questions, a bonus and an extension task. The first five questions involve the children shading in the given shape (using the background colour changer in Google Docs) as well as naming the fraction either as a word or in its number form. The second five questions involve naming the fractions based on a given shaded area of the shape. The bonus is a slightly trickier question based on the second half of questions and the extension involves children creating their own table shape, shading the cells and typing up the fraction name. It’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.
