This resource helps children understand the different symbols and objects of 6 different religions (buddhism, hinduism, islam, christianity, sikhism, judaism). The idea is to sort the objects into the different religions by cutting them out and creating 6 posters - one for each religion.
It is a great activity for children to work together in groups or can be done independently.
Children will have 6 objects from each religion and each object contains a brief, child friendly description to explain what the item is (without giving away which religion it belongs to!)
A perfect activity for all of Key Stage 2 although would also be great for upper KS1 or Lower KS3 depending on the children.
**ANSWERS INCLUDED **
*This would also be perfect for a comprehension activity in shared reading or literacy lessons as the children would have to read each sentence and using inference to decide where it belongs. *

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.
