Letters (upper and lower case) and numbers (0-9) on triangular display bunting with a cloudy sky theme.

Number bonds to 10 and 20 on bright jigsaw pieces. I made these because I wanted to display number bonds i a way that was clear and easy to see and everything I saw online had lots of patterns on them making them distracting and hard to focus on from the back of the classroom.

Everything that is needed to create an English working wall display in a KS1 classroom. All resources are on blue and green patterned borders, so the colours go well together no matter which phase(s) you are working on. Resources are also perfect for use in interventions.

Science lessons looking at plants in year 2. Lesson on planting sunflowers, learning how to take care of them and what they need. Differentiated sheet for children who are new to English. A log to keep track of how high and fast they grow. Analysis lesson to create pictograms (with links to the year 2 maths curriculum) to show the height of different sunflowers. Extra questions for high ability children once they have made their pictogram (links to year 2 maths curriculum).

All, the questions from the maths paper 2 2018 KS1 SATs are on the smart notebook presentation. Use this presentation to teach the children how they should answer the questions and then use the corresponding sheets (which have the same questions with different numbers) to let them attempt the questions independently. This resource can be used as a daily starter or intervention to improve children’s ability to answer reasoning and problem solving questions or to address gaps on individual questions after assessments.

All the questions from the maths paper 2 2019 KS1 SATs are on the smart notebook presentation. Use this presentation to teach the children how they should answer the questions and then use the corresponding sheets (which have the same questions with different numbers) to let them attempt the questions independently. This resource can be used as a daily starter or intervention to improve children’s ability to answer reasoning and problem solving questions or to address gaps on individual questions after assessments.

Letters (upper and lower case) and numbers (0-9) on triangular display bunting with a calm, blue theme.

Editing station prompts. There are 8 different stations all together, more than I would use in one lesson but the range of them allows you to choose what is relevant to the specific genre of writing that you are looking at. These are also editable. Each station gives an editing focus and has the kinds of questions as prompts that an adult would ask if they were working 1:1 with the child. They also give the children ideas of how to independently up-level their work (for example, instructions on creating fronted adverbials or directing children to use classroom resources such as dictionaries, thesaurus or the working wall.) Used often enough, the children will become increasingly able to focus on specific areas of improvement when editing their work, rather then perhaps editing a couple of spelling before saying that they are finished- which is what my class used to do! Also included is a half sized version of each prompt- perfect for display, whilst not taking up too much room on your working wall.

I laminated and cut these out and than used black ribbon to create a hanging display that can be put anywhere in my classroom. I write the childrens’ names on the white sections with dry wipe marker so they can be quickly and easily changed, The jobs could be easily edited to suit your classroom.

Fun presentation which introduces the concept of fractions through cupcakes!! Teachers- make sure you have enough cupcakes and plastic knives for all children and grown ups in your class- make sure everyone can join in and have fun! Also, make sure you have white boards and pens handy. I taught this lesson as a fun fraction introduction- the whole lesson was spent eating cupcakes and I used photographic evidence in the children’s books, so you may also want to have a camera close by! The presentation talks through fractions step by step- first looking at what a whole is, then a half and then a quarter. It discusses how much there is all together and how much is left. The mathematical language of numerator and denominator is introduced. It uses visual images to help the children to cut their cupcake properly and has prompts to tell them when they are allowed to eat a piece! It includes lots of question prompts that you may want to use as a whole class/table groups/partners etc. Also included is a presentation with slides that are handy for your working wall- add these after teaching this lesson so that children have a visual reminder of 1/2, 1/4 and whole and this lesson for the rest of this topic.

A set of 6 bunting display titles- Enlgish, Maths, Science, Topic, PSHE and Notices. These are all black bunting with white letters but are editable so you could change the colours to suit your classroom. Simply laminate, hole punch the top corners and thread onto string or ribbon.

Here is a presentation and resources for two science lessons on light and shadows. The first experiment is to find out what happens when multiple lights are shone on an object. The sceond experiment is to find out what happens when different coloured lights are shone on an object. I carried this out with my year 6 class, I have a high number of EAL and New to English children and so there is resoures to support their learning included. Each test has a scaffolded write up for NTE children. My HA children were expected to write it up independently, including the same sections as the NTE children. The MA chidren were able to look at the NTE write up sheet as a starting point to supprot them in their independant write up. Also included is a NTE word mat with pictures and a scientific vocab mat that is relevant to this science topic. The last slide on the powerpoint has lots of extension questions to do with this topic. These could be used in many ways for example; as an extension for the HA children or a class choice on what to explore next.

Set of eight vocabulary cards for use in electricity science lessons in upper and lower key stage two. Each card shows not only shows the word and symbol but also a picture of what the item looks like in ‘real life’ to help especially EAL and NTE children during these lessons.

This is a fun and active maths lesson for teaching time. I did this in the hall, we used hula hoops as our clock faces and arranged the numbers and clock hands around these. It would also be a great outdoors activity to inject some fun into maths! The bundle includes numbers 1-24 and roman numerals I - XII, meaning that the clock is a flexible resource to be used in lots of ways with children of a variety of ages. There are 5 sets of challenge cards- o’clock and half past, 15 minute intervals, 5 minute intervals, 1 minute intervals and converting to the 24hr clock. These would all work very well with the roman numerals as well as the numbers. Depending on the age/level of the children, simply setting up the roman numeral clock may be a challenge! The challenge cards work well to meet objectives across KS1 and LKS2 and also as differentiation within a year group or as a recap of prior learning.

Fun maths cafe activity for year 2. A good consolidation activity for the end of a unit on measurement with money. Covers finding the total of different items, finding out how much change would be given and two step problems. I used this at the end of the White Rose Maths Autumn Block 3 unit on money. HA questions are word problems, children have to read and understand the questions and decide what operation to use independently. MA questions have bar models to support children’s calculations. These bar models have parts filled in to begin with but gradually, less is filled in to encourage independence. Some two step problems also included to provide an extra challenge.

A power point that contains 40 sets of maths arithmetic challenges. I used these as morning work with my year 6 class to provide extra opportunity to practise using the four operations. The questions alternate between straight forward calculations, finding the missing digits questions and multiply and dividing by 10, 100 and 1,000. They are differentiated A-C. A questions do not involve exchanging or carrying and so are ideal for LA or MA/HA to complete mentally. B involves exchanging and carrying and C involved decimals up to three decimal places. Each day has two slides- the questions and then the answers and so are easy for children to self-assess. The title slide says morning work, autumn 2 as this is when I used them but this could easily be changed if needed. I have more sets available.

Set of 50 arithmetic starters with answers suitable for lower key stage two A variety of quick activities to practise the four operations at the start of maths lessons or as morning work. The difficulty of the starters vary meaning that different slides can be selected to suit the needs of your specific class. This set of starters has more addition and subtraction questions (see my other sets for more division and multiplication).
