This is an activity pack including 6 sheets of questions, answers, IWB file, self-assessment tool and planning. I have had very positive feedback using this lesson in observations. Everything you need is ready to go. Children will work in mixed ability pairs to answer questions on the following topics: multiplication division addition subtraction rounding to the nearest ten rounding to the nearest hundred word problems. Each time the children answer a question, they will select the matching answer at the bottom of the page and record the word shown. Once they have collected all of the words, they will see a hidden message. This is a clue to help them eliminate different suspects until only one remains - this person is therefore the murderer of Sleep Bear! It can easily be adapted to make it easier/harder by altering the questions and answers at the bottom of the page. A really fun, engaging lesson which works well as a standalone lesson for more able children or can be broken up into several lessons for those needing more time. All children will be fully engaged in learning, whilst also developing their vocabulary and explanation skills when helping their peers.

Comprehension designed to be used with a lower ability year 5 class, but could easily be adapted for all of KS2. Made to raise awareness of nits as an issue and how to get rid of them properly. Updated edition. Image is taken from Google and I do not own copyright. Resource and questions written by myself.

This resource folds into a double flap booklet. It can be used for any topic and can be easily adapted. Lines can be increased in size to accommodate younger children or picture boxes can be added, removed etc.

Practical lesson for multiplication. Children will work in mixed ability pairs to calculate the answers. They must then move around the playground/hall/classroom to locate the answer on a poster and record the letter shown. Once they have gathered all of the letters, they must unscramble them to find the hidden code. An excellent lesson which engages all children. Also included is the lesson plan, posters for around the room and the sheet the children will write on. Has received excellent feedback in lesson observations and with Ofsted.

A resource that begins with 2x2 digit multiplication, then moves on to 3x2 digit and finally 3x3 digit. At the end there are three greater depth questions involving finding missing numbers using reasoning skills and finally a self assessment traffic light. A fantastic resource to assess learning at the end of the unit, as a revision lesson, for HAP as a task during lesson or to assess prior knowledge before beginning a unit. Also available with the answers. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/multiplication-review-or-lesson-worksheet-with-greater-depth-questions-with-answers-11784163

A picture of a Christmas elf with space to generate a word bank and then lines to write a character description. A great activity for Christmas!

Children to write a summary of what is happening in the stained glass window scene. They can then colour the stained glass window. Great English lesson on the run up to Christmas or can be used in R.E.

Children will use the final verse of 12 days of Christmas to answer mathematical word problems. Aimed at KS2, but could also be used with support in KS1.

A selection of Christmas themed words scrambled out of order.

This is a selection of 15 images all containing an action (for example: a dog barking, a bird flying, a child skipping). These are to use in any capacity of a way of generating sentences. I have used them in order to provide ideas for work on main and subordinate clauses. The dog barked --> The dog barked when the doorbell rang.

A simple zone of relevance board. Children can use this for ANY topic as it is generic. Find words (either known or using a thesaurus) and sort them based on how well they describe the topic or person. The words which are okay sit on the outside, the words in the center of the diagram describe the person/topic perfectly. Can be a great starter task or activity for LAP.

Give children a selection of non-fiction books either based on your current topic or all topics. Children will work in pairs (sheets should be on a3 is possible) to look through the books and gather the relevant information. There is a higher and lower ability or children can work in mixed ability pairs.

Here is a set of differentiated resources which can be used for all abilities. There is a HAP, MAP, LAP and SEN resource. Children need to join the sentence to the matching adverbial phrase. There is also a word bank sheet for children to use with their own writing.

Children write how the character feels inside the body and what they look like or can see outside of the body. Links to the video Eleven from the Literacy Shed (free video clip) but the picture could be removed to link to any topic or can be used as a generic space man.

Differentiated three ways. The children are given a brochure for Mercedes with differentiated products (e.g. leather seats, sat-nav etc.) and how much each item costs. Children must use their budget to customise their car with the things they would like. The aim is to get as close to their budget as possible, without going over it. Great activity to engage children, can be done in pairs or individually. Prices can be easily adapted and other items added or removed to further differentiate as needed. Makes a fantastic lesson and has been used with Ofsted/observations to great results!

Gives the children five different categories for starting their sentences. Preposition (P) ‘ing’ words (ing) Adverbial (AD) Passing of time (PT) Conjunctions (C) Sheet contains example sentences and the word bank to support in their own writing.

Children or an adult completes the slip to set them a target based on their work. Can be used for self assessment or peer assessment. Makes the targets easy to view when flicking through a book and can even be laminated to use as a bookmark in their books.

Fact box template. Lined with space for a picture, title and a few interesting facts.
