Use the inverse (or trial and error at first) for doubles/halves to find the answers for the missing boxes in this investigation. Ideal for World Cup topic work or for a maths starter in Years 5 or 6. Could even be used as a whole school competition - or as an end of reward. Feel free to add more boxes for differentiation or change the ratios at the beginning to make it more challenging.

National Curriculum Spelling set out weekly for your class. They start in the Years 3 and 4 region and progress into 5 and 6. Spellings increase from 10 a week, to 12 and finally 15. These lists have included many spellings to be tested by SATs. Some spellings are repeated. This is not an error. Trickier spellings are revisited based on how my previous classes have worked with them. Feel free to edit them.

We have had great progress with pupils and non-verbal when they have used this sheet to create their own pattern. Worksheet includes example to work from. The final question allows the pupil to recap and explore new patterns. A must for any child taking the 11 Plus.

Reading sheets for a range of topics taken from various websites. They cover a wide range of topics and can be used as starters or to fill 10 / 20 minutes if you would like to teach your class something new. Some concepts are tricky, but most more-able children are able to explain them with a little instruction.

Worded Maths Questions for children in year 6 or KS3. Used before SATs as a top-up or to find missing knowledge in their calculation skills.

Some previous SATs questions - at about the level 5 region - which need a bar model to solve. Focus: Ratio and Proportion

Sample. Full version with 18 sets of cards and extensions available in my store Suitable for pupils training for the 11 plus (I found the key word lists for this) or for KS2 vocabulary building. Match up the synonyms or the antonyms. Can easily be copied/printed onto card. Designed with National Curriculum Vocabulary in mind - but, will work with 11 plus pupils looking to extend their vocabulary.

Reading comprehension for pages 9 - 11 of the Giant’s Necklace. Questions aimed for Year 6 children as they are clearly SATs orientated. Would be best used during the first lesson of Giant’s Necklace. Let me know what you think.

Map with visual path arrows and key parts of book broken down into main bullet points. Ideal for use when reading the book with a individual - or a group. I used this to recap what had happened before.

Weekly plan for work relating to *Invention of Hugo Cabret * Contains resources and links to use. Fantastic for an introductory topic in a year group or for getting some high-level writing from your class. Ideally, there will be a class set of books to accompany this.

Two day’s module for RE teaching children the difference between Catholics and Protestants. It can be used for KS2 or KS3. The work is suitable for all ages, but there are some tricky elements to work through with your class. Planning is rigid, but is adaptable. Let me know if there are any improvements you would like.

Lesson plan and resources to help your class understand how evolution works. It is very simple and children are normally able to explain the evolutionary process after this activity. It even comes with a next step to help the children solidify their learning. No differentiation as this should be accessible for the whole class.

Diagnostic that covers major areas of the 11 Plus Warwickshire Exam. Areas covered: Maths, Cloze, Reading Comprehension, Verbal Non Verbal. Sorry for poor quality of the later ones. Resources found on free-to-view websites.

A really simple little resource here. Just have the children cut out each statement and write: a) a single word impression and b) a sentence which starts ‘because’ after it

Suitable for a 1 hour R.E lesson about the differences between Catholics and Protestants. It is a play with a QandA session at the end which can be part of the play if you wish to extend it. It comes with notes on how to be respectful which should be read at the start. It goes down well and the children love to act it out - as a class or in small groups.

Taken from a book I wrote. There are hundreds of poems - all linked to a different curriculum standard. The whole of Maths KS2 is covered! Simply find the curriculum descriptor you are looking for, and there will be a poem for you. Every poem can also be a lesson! Each poem introduces the subject, clarifies the vocabulary and explores an example.

Note: There are two arithmetic papers with non-linear question difficulty and no 2 mark questions. They are both very similar and are built for speed. This is not designed to give you an arithmetic scaled score; it is more designed to help children approach trickier fraction questions early (always the easy fix) and not get bogged down in the longer multiplication and division questions. I have found that his helps train speed.

Contains: Exemplar Circus opening Example of teacher-lead writing Pictures to use (CC) for children to stick in

Class plan for a Sci-Fi piece of writing. It has been completed in this case and can be modeled in front of the class, or, as I have done, print out blank copies for children to fill in. Should give those stories a bit of structure!

Homework for the Autumn Term for Year 5 or Year 6. It starts with the basics in Place Value and moves through the curriculum. It follows WRH at points and Maths-No Problem at others. Ideally, it is used alongside class teaching. Can also be used for revision.
