I am an ex-primary head teacher and English, Maths and History specialist. I've mostly worked in KS2, often in Year 6. Although for the last two years, I've been working in Year 1, which has been delightful!
All the resources have been used successfully with children in a range of schools all over the country.
I am constantly reviewing and updating my resources. Please follow me to ensure that you have the most up to date versions of the resources you buy.

A collection of activities, comprehensions and internet research projects ideal for topic work linked to dinosaurs.
The pack includes four comprehensions, three internet research led display activities and a skimming and scanning matching activity.
There are also two example simplified comprehension activities that could be run for your support groups, while the rest of the class complete the dinosaur comprehensions.
A collection of English, Maths, Art & Design, History and Geography activities to provide a basis for a topic on the Tudors.
Over 40 pages of resources and activities which include:
Timelines, biographical and autobiographical writing, following instructions, prototyping and making Tudor artefacts, map work, skimming and scanning comprehension skills and internet research.
NB Some of this work requires a copy of the Terrible Tudors to provide additional source materials
Three resources that can be used to create dinosaur themed displays within a classroom.
All three require access to internet for research and require children to make use of multiple web pages to confirm the information.
Learning Objectives
Starter:
- To order multistep calculations.
- To multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1,000.
Main Lesson:
- To multiply and divide whole numbers and those involving decimals by 10, 100 and 1,000 (Year 5)
- To multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1,000 giving answers up to 3 decimal places (Year 6)
- To understand and use place value for decimals (KS3)
This lesson consists of:
A Starter consisting of a series of progressively harder, multi-step calculations and revision of properties of numbers. A connect activity getting children to remember how they multiply and divide integers (whole numbers) by 10, 100, 1000.
An Interactive Whiteboard teaching introduction for both Notebook and ActivInspire flipchart, to teach how to multiply and divide whole numbers and decimals by 10, 100 and 1000.
A 4-way differentiated series of tasks requiring children to multiply and divide increasingly more challenging integers and decimals by 10, 100 and 1000. A Place Value grid is provided as additional support for those struggling. Answer sheet provided to support marking.
A final AFL / Next Steps task, asking children to apply their knowledge of multiplying and dividing numbers by 10, 100, and 1000 to find as many possible ways to make a specific number based on old SATs paper.
15 sets of complete lessons (3 x 5 days) covering current National Curriculum expectations for teaching short and long division, multiples, common multiples, prime factors, common prime factors, BODMAS, multiplication and division by powers of 10, metric measures, conversions between metric and imperial measures, and multi-step Word Problems.
Each week ends with either an investigation of Word Problems linked to the topic studied.
Every lesson includes:
- a Starter based on Arithmetic and / or previous learning and a Connect Activity designed to activate the children's interest in the topic being covered that day.
- two interactive teaching presentations designed to run on either Smartboard's Interactive Whiteboard or Promethean ActivInspire software.
- a detailed 4 way differentiated lesson plan including all relevant learning objectives and AfL / next step opportunities.
- a 4 way differentiated worksheet designed to cater for the learning of virtually all children in Year 5 or Year 6 regardless of ability.
