A Britain’s Got Talent-style script featuring different characters from a range of myths and legends, including Hades, Cyclops, Perseus, Medusa and the Minotaur! My Year 5 class performed this as a radio program after a unit on Myths and Legends in English, but it could easily be used with younger and older children as a class assembly.

To be used after researching both significant historical figures. I used this activity with a Year 2 class, but it could easily be adapted to suit LKS2.

A practical volume investigation for KS2/KS3 pupils This lesson was used for an observation after the children had spent a week learning about volume. The children construct boxes and investigate volume by cutting different sized squares from the corner of a grid to find out which dimensions give the greatest volume. Lots of opportunity for discussion and reasoning. I delivered this lesson the day before Eid so linked it to party boxes, but it could be easily adapted! Differentiated 5 ways and includes IWB flipchart, activity sheets and worksheets.

Two differentiated comprehension worksheets based on Roald Dahl-themed recipes/instructions. Comprehension questions cover a range of skills including retrieval, authorial intent and word choice.
