I want to make KS2 SATs revision fun. I want it to be something students and teachers really enjoy. I have taken each of the SATs revision tests and combined the original test papers and the original marking schemes into PowerPoints where you ask a question and immediately see the the answer on the next slide. This teaching packs covers KS2 Maths and KS2 SATs SPAG tests (Spag is English grammar, punctuation and spelling Papers) The idea is that you can now ask a question and all your students show you the answer on their mini-whiteboards and then you discuss the answers together and see what would have got one or two points. As the students can work in pairs or small groups on the questions, they are less stressed and enjoy the whole revision process. In addition, it gives them a chance to learn about other student’s strategies. This pack could be used in the classroom for whole class teaching, for small groups or at home as a great teaching resource.

, Discover “Big Grammar Book 2” - Your Essential Resource for English Grammar! BGB 2 is packed with 101 printable worksheets designed to teach and improve grammar skills in English. The topics covered are wide and varied, starting with Essential English worksheets that address the basics, including the alphabet, days, months, and telling the time. The book then progresses to cover tenses (with a strong emphasis on tenses!), irregular verbs, question forms, word order in sentences, parts of English, uncountable nouns, and much more! If you have used the first BGB, you will know what to expect from this edition. Approximately 25% of the worksheets in this book closely model activities from BGB 1, such as Full Stops 1 & 2 (pp.68-69). The material begins at the beginner level with alphabet worksheets, gradually increasing in difficulty while remaining at the Elementary (A1 / A2) level. Only towards the end do things become “tougher,” introducing articles, conditionals, and phrasal verbs. However, there’s no need to worry—all the answers and notes for use are included at the back of this book. English teachers can effectively use Big Grammar Book 2 in the classroom, although it may be more beneficial to assign the worksheets as homework, allowing students to concentrate on speaking, listening, and group work—essentially producing language—during class time. This resource is also ideal for private study, whether for homework or self-study, and is well-suited for use in online lessons. Teachers are encouraged to adapt the worksheets, treating many pages as templates for creating their own activities. For instance, the sentence building worksheets (from p.60) are perfect for adaptation, among many others. I hope you enjoy learning English with Big Grammar Book 2! Remember: A good understanding of English grammar will open doors to numerous opportunities.

I love to revise grammar. I don't like needing to constantly refer between the answers and the questions to get the most out of each lesson. I decided the simplest thing was to simply combine the question paper and the marking schemes into a single document. The idea is simple - you ask a question - the children then show their answers and then you check the answers as a class against the official marking scheme answers. This helps to keep revision fun and the lessons snappy. Let me know what you think of them!
