This is a simple sketch map of Roman Britain, showing the main roads, towns and forts. The children need to identify the numbered towns by their Roman names and their names in the present. I have used this with Key Stage 2 children as part of a history unit of study on The Romans. The second sheet provides the answers.

This is a test which I have given at the end of a unit of study on earthquakes and volcanoes with Year 5 or 6 classes. The test requires children to know about tectonic plates, the layers which make up the Earth and the different parts of a volcano.

This is a multiple choice test based on a science topic about bones and muscles (including the heart). I have used this resource with Year 6 students in an International School, where the choice of answers is beneficial for those children who do not have English as their first language.

This is a timeline looking at major developments during the industrial revolution from 1750 to 1860. Children can cut out the information from the second sheet and stick them onto the timeline, or they can write the information on. You could adapt this by adding inventions and developments particularly relevant to your local area.

This resource pack includes a powerpoint presentation, three pages of information about the British Empire, a map to be completed and a series of activities for the children to carry out, showing their understanding of the subject and linking it to the Commonwealth and modern trade practices. I have created this resource for my Year 6 class as a part of a history unit on the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian Era.

These two sheets provide an explanation of how to carry out tests using only the sense of smell with a chart to fill in. I choose 10 different foods and get the children to smell each one. They write down what they think it is and we discover the correct answers at the end of the lesson. I do this activity as part of a project on food and the digestive system.

Once the class have made the different types of rocks using chocolate, they complete this sequencing activity. I recommend that children are reminded to only cut out one type of rock at a time so that they don't get all the pieces muddled up.

Just a simple worksheet for mental maths addition.

This is a multiple choice quiz which I have given to my class at the end of our project on the Tudors and Stuarts to assess their understanding of the topic. It is not meant to be a very serious test, as you will see from some of the answer choices, but is a fun way to end the topic.

I've adapted this experiment from a Scholastic science book. The work is carried out as part of a topic on food, health and hygiene. The children really enjoy looking at the food when it has started going mouldy and can record their results on the chart, either in writing or pictures.

These sheets form part of a project on food and good health. The first sheet provides information about food and what different foods do for your body. The children then have to place different types of food onto the wheel of food and good health. I would recommend photocopying the wheel onto A3 paper so that the pictures of food can be cut out and stuck on in the right place. Alternatively, children can draw pictures of food onto the wheel.

As part of a project on Ancient Egypt the children create an enlargement of this image of Tutankhamun. Number the back of the image in black and white to match the numbers on the coloured picture. Cut out 35 larger squares, (the size will depend on how big you want the final image to be). Give each child in the class a small piece of the image and ask them to recreate it to scale on the large square. The final picture can be painted or coloured. I have also tried a collage version using shiny paper. It makes a really good display in the class and the children enjoy collaborating to produce the final picture.

This worksheet can be used for children to record details about their teeth. The children will need small mirrors to carry out the observations.

These are two simple worksheets which encourage handwriting skills and can then be coloured in. The sheets are differentiated with more complex patterns on one than the other.

This is an activity to cut out and sequence the digestive system. This follows on from whole class work discovering the human digestive system from start to finish.

This is an idea I found and used successfully. I have made the templates to make it easier to create the finished product. I used the sheet as a design template for a mug which the children then decorated and gave as a gift for Mother's day.

This is an idea for creative writing which encourages the children to plan their work and then to draft it.

This is a reading log to use with a class reading book. I laminate them and they can then be used with any book that the class reads together. I have used it with year 5 and 6 classes. More able students can work independently whilst others can receive more help and guidance, e.g. providing questions to help them find the main events in chapters.

These two worksheets go together. I provide 10 different types of food which the children have to identify by taste only. I usually do this alongside smell tests to encourage the children to focus on one sense at a time. You could provide whatever food that you want. I tend to use fruit and vegetables, with the addition of cheese and chocolate so that we always end with something that everyone likes! Be careful of children with food alergies. I do this as part of a topic on food and the digestive system.

This is a quite simple art idea as long as everyone follows the instructions. The end results look really good as a display in the classroom and I find that the children usually really enjoy it and want to make more.
