I have worked in both KS2 and KS1 as class teacher and am also English Leader in KS1. For the last 5 years, I have been teaching in Y2, which gave me plenty of ‘SATs experience’. However, I have been trying to ensure that the skills children need to apply in their SATs are linked to everyday life experiences and have applied them as much as I could to our topics, in order to avoid 'teaching to the test'. I really value your feedback on my resources. Happy browsing!

UEFA EURO 2024 Maths Bar Charts

(0)
Maths sheet on bar charts: Children read the table of who was in the final in the past and what their results were and make a bar chart of how many goals were scored in each final throughout the years and answer some questions about it. Differentiated - one is more scaffolded and the bar chart has been prepared, the other needs children to label their own bar chart. 6 sheets - counting in 1s, 2s, 5s always with chart labelled and without. There is also another sheet where children choose 5 countries and represent in a bar chart how many times each country has participated in the final.

UEFA EURO 2024 Germany - 7 Activities - Maths, English, Geography

(0)
Here some resources I made for my class for the upcoming UEFA EURO 2024 in Germany. This pack includes: A two pages long information sheet with facts about the past, this year’s games and the mascot. This could be used for research (individually or whole class) when making posters/leaflets etc. A 4 pages long comprehension based on the fact sheet. The text is on the top half of the sheet and questions are below for children to answer. It is differentiated in a higher and a lower comprehension - one with mostly retrieval and one with retrieval and some inference questions. A geography worksheet for mapping countries in Europe that take part. Children can choose 12 countries, find them on the map and make a key. If you wanted to differentiate it, you could print it out twice and fill in the key for one already. I would recommend copying the map on A3 paper to make it easier for children. Maths sheet on bar charts: Children read the table of who was in the final in the past and what their results were and make a bar chart of how many goals were scored in each final throughout the years and answer some challenge questions about it. Differentiated - one is more scaffolded and the bar chart has been prepared, the other needs children to label their own bar chart (differentiated in bar charts going up in 1s, 2s, 5s). There is also another sheet where children choose 5 countries and represent in a bar chart how many times each country has participated in the final. Maths activity on finding all possibilities: Differentiated three ways. Children have the task of designing a new football kit for their favourite country and have to choose three (four) colours. They then find all possible ways of putting a new kit consisting of either shorts and t-shirt or shorts, t-shirt and socks together for their chosen colours. This activity comes with a notebook file to model. This is an activity based on the flags of the participating countries in the EURO 2024 in Germany. There is one sheet with all the names of the countries and their flags which is followed by 4 activity sheets: Comparing two flags. Children choose two flags, draw them and compare them - what is the same and what is different. Sorting the flags into symmetrical and non-symmetrical. A blank Venn diagram for children to make up their own categories to sort the flags into (if you want to differentiate you could give them the categories). A blank Carroll diagram for children to make up their own categories to sort the shapes into (if you want to differentiate you could give them the categories). Maths - Adding several numbers (single digit, multiples of 10/100 and adding several two-digit numbers - differentiated) using several top UEFA EURO ‘24 footballers’ names printed on the sheet. Enjoy!

Back to School Activity - (Summer) Holiday Selfies/Snapshots

(0)
This is an activity which I would suggest to use in KS1 as a first week activity when coming back to school in September. SHEET ONE There are four empty polaroids for children to draw in and lines beside them to describe their holiday/write a sentence. It is differentiated by scaffolding and outcome. Some children are more able to write about what happened without any guidance whereas others might need more structure eg first polaroid is 'who I saw', second polaroid is about 'games I played'... etc and soe others might just need to draw/label/talk about their holidays so there are different sheets for different groups. It works best copied and blown up to A3. SHEET TWO. Same as sheet one except for this time round all polaroids are selfies - phone/iPad outline. It is also a nice thing to display in your classroom in those first few weeks when topics have not yet started etc. Includes 2 differentiated worksheets plus two screenshots for you to see what sheets look like. Thank you.

Finding All Possibilities - Problem Solving Activities - Using and Applying

(0)
Here are 5 worksheets for finding all possibilities problem solving lessons. I could not categorise this resource on here properly as 'Using and Applying' or 'Problem Solving' are not on the TES system. Most of these resources are differentiated 2 ways but I found it worked best to do them in partners and discuss as class etc. It's good to do those over a few weeks as some are similar and reinforce learning points such as using a system/logical way of working eg always starting with same colour... Tower building challenge: Use 4 differently coloured blocks - in which order can you arrange the blocks? How many ways are there? Notebook File attached. Ice Cream challenge: Use 4 different ice cream flavours - in which order can you arrange them on the cone? How many ways are there? (A 3 scoop version available too) Design a flag challenge: Use 3 or 4 different colours- in which order can you arrange them on flags? How many ways are there? Mini beast hunt: 3 different kinds of minibeasts were found, 10 or 20 altogether. What are the different options? Chinese New Year Race Challenge: 3 (or 4) more animals turn up for the race of the zodiac. They missed it and have their own race. In which order could they finish?

UEFA EURO 24 Maths - Adding several numbers - differentiated

(0)
Here are 6 differentiated worksheets (2 pages each) that I made for my class to relate maths learning to the UEFA Euro 24 in France. On each sheet, the letters of the alphabet are printed at the top and each letter has a value. Then there are pictures of important players and children then have to work out the total of the names of the footballers. There are three sheets designed for applying mental strategies to work out name scores: -WALT add using mental strategies: Adding single-digit numbers using basic number bonds. WALT add using mental strategies: Adding several multiples of 10. WALT add using mental strategies: Adding several multiples of 100. There are three more differentiated sheets, where children can apply the column method( ie on a mini whiteboard) for addition to work out the score of each name: WALT add several two-digit numbers (each individual number below 30). WALT add several two-digit numbers (each individual number below 50). WALT add several two-digit numbers (each individual number below 100). The children then work out their own names’ scores and compare them to the footballers :) Attached as word (editable) and PDF. PLEASE NOTE: This is only one resource.

Finding fractions of numbers / amounts as asked in KS1 SATs

(0)
I made this resource for my year 2 class after teaching the fractions of shapes and to move them on using this model to find fractions of numbers. There are differentiated worksheets. This is how we did it: 1. Colour in the fraction that you have to find on the circle eg 1/2. 2. Look at the number you have to share (eg 6) and share it into the fraction shown (on the circle share 6 between the two halves). 3. Count how many each fraction has. 4. Check the amount is equal. Please see the 2 pictures in preview for more detailed preview :)

Great ice-breaker for the first day of teaching to get to know the children, help them to get to know each other and most importantly, help them get to know the teacher! It contains picture clues for ESL children. Children ask around in class and find someone who likes something that is pictured. If they find someone they put his/her name down on the grid. First one to have 4 in a row wins.

New Curriculum Phonics/Spelling Patterns Teaching Overview Year 2 (RML Link)

I had look at the new curriculum with regards to the phonics and spelling patterns that children have to be taught in year 2. We decided to use the RML flashcards and rhymes to teach the sounds, so this is a breakdown of what sounds are taught/recapped when, sticking to the order in which RML is taught. It goes hand in hand with the flashcards from RML with all the lovely rhymes. I have written down all the sound recaps and spelling patterns for year 2 from the new curriculum. For 2015/2016.
