A template for Top Trump cards. Can be used for many different lessons in different subjects. Great for character description/creation in English, highlighting character description and features. Great for historical comparisons in history when comparing famous people from a time period. Just some applications for the template.

A template for a consensus mat which can be used in multiple lessons. The main idea behind it is to create a group working task in which children can share their own ideas around a topic in their own respective box. Then, the children will discuss the ideas written in their box and reach a consensus on the subject. For example: in history, a consensus mat can be used to discuss the most important factor a civilisation has given modern day life- democracy, Olympics, alphabet etc for the Ancient Greeks. Children would then write their answers in their box and discuss their ideas to reach a conclusion/consensus in the middle oval. Ideal subjects: history, geography, science, English, guided reading, and more.

A worksheet to compare two locations. The current comparison is New York and London, comparing North America with the UK. The pictures can be changed to compare any two locations or objects. The two columns are for identifying features from the pictures. The bottom box is to compare the similarities and differences between the two. Great to use for lower ability children to provide structure and imagery for them to compare.

Some questions to be put on working walls to accompany weekly challenges made by teachers. Can be left on the board and have the questions changed each week based on the learning for the week.
