Alfred the Great Sources evaluation lesson and activities
Anglo-Saxon and Vikings lesson linked to the National Curriculum for KS2 - the Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom of England to the time of Edward the Confessor. This lesson focuses on answering the question, “Did Alfred the Great deserved to be called ‘Great’?”
The interactive smart board takes you step by step through the lesson as well as using partner talk and reminding children of key events in the Viking/ Anglo-Saxon struggle. Children will need to look at sources that you could put around the room, or on their tables. They will fill in the grid and answer questions about each source such as, “What is it?” and “What information can we learn from it?” At the end of the lesson the whole class will have a discussion about source bias before deciding whether Alfred the Great was truly Great?
Focuses on 2 key historical skills - Understand methods of Historical enquiry and gather Historical data from various sources.
Inspirational people posters
These minimalist posters of inspirational people include a quote from each of the famous people. We have them as a class display and talk about them a lot in our lessons.
We have them as a class display and talk about them a lot in our lessons. We direct children to them when needed, or bring them into discussions when talking about topics such as LGBTQ+ (Alan Turing) The Civil Rights Movement (Dr Martin Luther King Jr, Maya Angelou and Rosa Parks), Feminism and equality (Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Taylor Swift, Frida Kahlo) and perseverance and supporting people when they need it.
Beowulf book abridged version
Used in teaching the Anglo-Saxons, this abridged version of Beowulf focuses on making the story just as exciting as the original without taking 3 weeks to read.
This text can be read in one session, or over the course of a few days, dissecting each part of the story.
British Sign Language alphabet display for classroom
I use this alphabet British Sign Language display to support children’s letter formation as it is written in cursive, as well as helping to support an inclusive classroom.
Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom lesson
Lesson to support KS2 National Curriculum History Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom after Edward the Confessor’s death. The smart board begins with a quiz in prior knowledge of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. The children will then evaluate whether Edward the Confessor was a good king or a bad king by sorting through the different points as a group. This activity is included in the bundle. Finally, the children look at the 4 different claimants to the English thrown. 1 child will be each claimant and read the synopsis provided about that King. The rest of the class use the grid to evaluate which claimant is best suited to the role of King of England.
It uses Historical skills such as understanding bias, revising previously taught knowledge and evaluating the different claimants to the thrown.
Anglo-Saxon and Vikings Knowledge Organiser
Knowledge organiser to support the teaching of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. Includes a timetline, key people, key places and key vocabulary. Great to have on a working wall or display and refer to within lessons, or to stick into children’s books.
Roman Numerals pastel display KS2
A great addition for any Maths Working Wall in a Key Stage 2 classroom.
Pastel in design, I love having these in my classroom and they’re really useful for children to look back on to support them in consolidating roman numerals.
editable visual class timetable
I have used this with my class for a few years. The labels all have a picture to show what lesson it is and I usually write the times next to each card on the whiteboard.
Target card with editable behaviour targets
I use this card as a reminder card. I cut the main card out and all the other squares and then laminate them. You can get the children to choose their own targets and then throughout the day you put the emojis below to show how they are doing. I will also just use ticks to show where a child has met their targets for the lesson.
Great for behaviour management as it is a visual reminder for children that shows what we are working on. I often include a note home to parents and a small reward time at the end of the day if there are lots of ‘smiley’ face present.
Class reward flower system - We bloom together
This class reward system is placed somewhere the children can easily see and the teacher can access. Each time a petal is earned, the children are one step closer to their reward. They need to earn 10 petals in total and the rewards are chosen by the teacher and the children together.
The editable middle section of the flower can be chosen by together and then placed in the middle of the flower. Each time the children work as a whole class (e.g listening well, working as a team, being ready, respectful and safe etc) the teacher adds a petal.
The visual is a fantastic aid for all children to work as a team and encourages everyone in the class to work together. I have used this for a few years in an inner-city school and it has fantastic results and makes for a purposeful and productive classroom environment.
Football Multiplication Game with Match Attax
Perfect full lesson game for end of unit or end of term fun. This game tests the column addition skills of the children by getting them to roll a dice and multiply either the attacking number, or the defense number, depending on whose turn it is. Multiplication crosses the tens, and can be up-leveled by adding 2 dice so that the children are multiplying 2-digit by 2-digit numbers.
The aim of the game is for the children to see who can cross the pitch board game first. Each player has 15 Match Attax cards and different coloured football pieces. The children will take it in turns to be the ‘attacking’ player. They will roll the dice and multiply the number on the dice by the number for ‘attack’ on their player’s card. The opposite player will then roll their dice and multiply that number by the number for the ‘defense’ on their player’s card. The child with the highest score wins and gets to place their football onto the pitch. The children put their cards to the bottom of the pile and it’s now the other child’s turn to be the ‘attacker’. This is continued until one player has reached the opposition’s side of the pitch.
Included in the download are - Powerpoint explaining the rules visually to children, instruction sheet for the children, 30 different Match Attax card images on PDF, the football counters pdf and the board game on an A3 word document.
Download, print and laminate for a great lesson. I use this at the end of every half-term and the children love it while still keeping a purposeful working environment.
interactive KS2 clock display
A display to support telling the time, perfect for any Maths working wall. All you need to do is print it, laminate and cut it and then add a split pin to the clock hands to make it interactive.
It comes with time cards to decorate around the edge and show the different times, e.g 5 past, 10 past ect. The clock edge is also split into 60 to show how time is counted in 60 minutes.
I use this with my class with conjunction with our White Rose time unit, but also throughout different lessons and to get the children to go and change the time on the interactive clock. For example, I might ask one child to set the clock to lunch or home time and then we look at how we know they are correct or how to help them to get it right.

Anglo-Saxons and Vikings lesson bundle
This lesson bundle includes interactive and engaging lessons to get children to learn all about the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. I have used these lessons for a few years now and find that they are a great way to get children to use their disciplinary knowledge and historian skills.
The first lesson gets the children to use their historian skills to firstly determine what the different types of crime and punishment were, by discussing sources. It then get them to evaluate which methods of punishment were the most useful to the anglo-saxons by using a diamond nine. The smart board acts as a lesson plan, using partner talk for discussions, explaining what the different photos were and then it explains what a diamond 9 is and how they can use it.
The second lesson supports KS2 National Curriculum History Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom after Edward the Confessor’s death. The smart board begins with a quiz in prior knowledge of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. The children will then evaluate whether Edward the Confessor was a good king or a bad king by sorting through the different points as a group. This activity is included in the bundle. Finally, the children look at the 4 different claimants to the English thrown. 1 child will be each claimant and read the synopsis provided about that King. The rest of the class use the grid to evaluate which claimant is best suited to the role of King of England.
It uses Historical skills such as understanding bias, revising previously taught knowledge and evaluating the different claimants to the thrown.
The third lesson is linked to the National Curriculum for KS2 - the Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom of England to the time of Edward the Confessor. This lesson focuses on answering the question, “Did Alfred the Great deserved to be called ‘Great’?”

KS2 English Grammar Display Harry Potter
These sets of Harry Potter posters are a brilliant way to engage children in grammar as well as consolidating their knowledge of word classes and writing features.
I have these in my classroom and we refer to them throughout SPaG and English lessons. Children will often look to them for ideas or to remind them of the different names of the grammatical features.
Avengers Fractions card game
A Top Trumps based card game testing children’s knowledge of fractions of amounts. With 18 different cards featuring different Marvel Avengers heroes and villians, children will use these cards to play a game of Top Trumps.
Each card has 3 different categories. Children will take it in turns to chose a category to compete against. For example, if one child chooses intelligence, they will both try to solve the fraction of amount question in that category. The child with the highest number, wins the other child’s card. The ultimate winner is the person who collects all the cards.
Children love this game and it’s a great lesson to do once the children have learnt the basics of finding a fraction of an amount. There’s no need for extra prep and it keeps the children engaged throughout.
Literary character peg labels.
My currant class love their peg labels and I will be using them again next year. I like to have a few different characters as I think it’s a fun way to start the first day of the new term!
Characters include:
Harry Potter, Willy Wonka, Peter Pan, How to Train your dragon, Greg (Diary of a wimpy kid), Alice in Wonderland, Cat in the Hat, Paddington Bear, 1 of the 101 dalmations and fantastic Mr Fox.
editable boho rainbow book tray labels
Book labels that you can edit on word, boho style and neutral colour theme.
Halloween bunting in colour and with black and white copies
Halloween bunting perfect to decorate any classroom or to hang during a Halloween party. With 4 black and white copies too so children can colour their own bunting sheets in as a filler activity in the run up to half-term.
I have used these for a few years now and it’s a fun way to get into the Halloween spirit.
Classroom Management table points Avengers
This Marvel Avengers classroom management table points display is the perfect way to combine children’s interests with working together as a team. Simply put the children’s names into the editable display, print and laminate. It’s a great way to visually show positive praise and encourage classroom routines such as transitions and listening respectfully while in the classroom.
Each table is named after an Avengers character, and then the teams ‘compete’ all week to get points and see which table wins at the end of the week. I do an individual winner and a table winner at the end of each week. The table names are made to fit into an Ikea Tolsby frame, and I often stick them onto the table tidies too so that any adult that enters your room can easily use the table point system to engage the class.
Teacher weekly to do list
I have used this for a few years now and I find it really helpful to organise my workload and keep my PPA time focused so I know what I need to do each week.
