A worksheet aimed at Years 5-7 to secure their knowledge of passive verbs.
Activities include identifying passive verbs, using passive verbs in sentences, converting the active voice into the passive voice and using multiple passive verbs in a single paragraph, all within Victorian-themed sentences
Takes children through a progression to mastery, all on one sheet. Easy to understand and easy to mark.
A very simple to use tracking grid that can be passed up with cohorts. All a teacher/LSA needs to do is put in the short date of when a child moved on to the next level/box.
Features approximate tracking of:
Target Tracker Band
Read, Write, Inc group
Old curriculum book bands
Can track as many or as few children as desired
This resource specifically targets the skill of converting a fraction into a decimal and a percentage.
Children will be required to convert a fraction into a decimal using short division on the grid provided.
They will then convert that decimal into a percentage using the grid provided.
For struggling learners there is an A3 place value grid included to assist with multiplying by 100.
There is a worked example on the children's sheet.
Fully worked example answer sheet is included.
A fun way for Year 3 & 4 children to revise and learn the National Curriculum spellings.
All spellings have been taken directly from the National Curriculum spelling appendix.
Three famous poems and reading comprehension questions to go with them. Questions include question types found in the 2016 and 2017 SATs papers or in End of Year assessments.
Poem 1 - You are old, Father William - Lewis Carroll
Poem 2 - Sick - Shel Silverstein
Poem 3 - Mary’s Lamb - Sarah Josepha Hale
I have used these as whole class exercises and for specific groups in guided reading to great effect.
Twenty-five wordsearches covering every spelling pattern found in the National Curriculum for Years 2-6.
Ideal as homework, morning tasks, afternoon tasks, interventions or as golden time.
A fun way to learn the Year 2 spellings. Each wordsearch focuses on a different phoneme/spelling pattern:
-Long (o) as –old, -ost and -oll
-ss words
-Long (i) as –ild and -ind
-ll words
-wa and squa
-ck words
-war and wor
-ff and zz words
-all
-ch words
-short (u) as o 1
-sh words
-short (u) as o 2
-th words
These are excel spreadsheet Gap Analysis documents for the 2019 Year Two SATs Papers for Maths .
The sheet totals up the scores automatically and each child’s final score changes colour to reflect their ability.
If their total score for a subject goes green, it means they would have passed the 2019 SATs with that score. If it goes Purple with a White font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject.
I have also included an instructions and document page, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included a link to the conversion tables from RAW Score to Scaled Score.
All a teacher has to do is enter their children’s names and enter the 0’s, 1’s or 2’s for each question, which also change colour too for a visual reference. I recommend that a teacher should enter ‘N’ if a child did not attempt that question. This gives an idea of who is not even attempting certain questions, not just whether they got the question wrong.
The sheets are set up for 32 pupils but more can be added/deleted and instructions are on the first page/sheet. Some cells are locked/protected in this document but the parts that you need to insert yourself are editable. This is so that the formulas/algorithms do not break and render the spreadsheet’s functionalities as broken.
I take requests for Gap Analysis Grids. Please leave feedback if you like this resource as I am planning to produce more for each SATs paper going forward, as well as CGP Practice Papers.
Please remember to rate this resource as I made this to save teachers time. Thank-you.
Applicable for the 2021-2022 WRM assessments.
This resource will save you many hours work when trying to use Assessment for Learning in your class.
There are two QLA grids included in one Excel document for help with Gap Analysis.
Arithmetic
Reasoning
Input the data using the marks from the papers and the grid will change colour to show where a child has been successful or not answered a question correctly, or at all.
The spreadsheet will auto-calculate how successful the whole cohort has been on particular questions. These are linked directly to the WRM small steps so you can see which lessons and steps need to be revised. 30 children can be entered in this document.
The total score thresholds auto-calculate and change colour to help indicate which children are working at approximately an expected standard (EXS) level or a Greater Depth (GDS) level. These thresholds use historical KS2 SATs thresholds to make them as accurate as possible.
Please note, some of the cells are locked for editing so that users do not break the spreadsheet functionality. Passwords will not be given out. However, I am more than happy to assist with any adaptations you need.
Additionally, I am in no way affiliated with White Rose Maths. No White Rose Maths resources are included in this product. Freely available content is linked to within it.

Perfect for a Maths coordinator looking to have detailed discussions with class teachers about the specific strengths and areas for development for a whole cohort or individual children, these QLA/Gap Analysis grids for each of the White Rose Maths Autumn term assessments will help you support teachers to draw accurate and impactful conclusions from their assessment data.
So far these resources have been used:
To plan revision for a whole class.
To plan interventions for children
In pupil progress meetings to indicate areas for development.
As part of an evidence base for Ofsted deep dives into Maths

These are excel spreadsheet Gap Analysis documents for the May 2016 Year Six SATs Papers for Reading, Mathematics (Arithmetic, Reasoning 1 & 2), GPS and Spelling Papers. The sheet totals up the scores automatically and each child’s final score changes colour to reflect their ability.
If their total score for a subject goes green, it means they would have passed the 2016 SATs with that score. If it goes Orange, it means they are within touching distance. If it goes Green with a yellow font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject.
There are three spreadsheet documents. One for Reading, one for Maths, and one for GPS. They are broken down into individual papers inside.
I have also included a digital document, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included the conversion tables from RAW Score to Scaled Score.
All a teacher has to do is enter their children’s names and enter the 0’s, 1’s, 2’s or 3’s for each question, which also change colour too for a visual reference. I recommend that a teacher should enter ‘N’ if a child did not attempt that question. This gives an idea of who is not even attempting certain questions, not just whether they got the question wrong.
Last academic year I used these grids to provide targeted feedback and to spot trends. As a result my class were well over National Average for all subjects (much to my relief!)

Included are two activity sheets/worksheets where children need to count up in steps of two.
- Lower ability (first three numbers given, the rest relies on counting on)
- Higher Ability (sequence of eight numbers, some missing, where children will need to count on and back in order to solve the problem).
