This bumper biology pack is made up of 9 different worksheets which cover a large swath of the biology curriculum. Please see each individual worksheet for further details. Thank you.
In this worksheet children can read and learn about our teeth, label a diagram with the four types of teeth; incisors, canines, premolars and molars and fill in the blanks in a text about how teeth change as we grow.
The descriptions given about each type of tooth should enable children to look at the structure of teeth in the diagram and label them correctly.
For the second part, a fill in the blank exercise, the children should be able to fill it in based on its context.
This worksheet is suitable both for online (as a doc in Google Classroom) and offline (as a printout).
I hope you also find it useful. If you do, please leave a review!
This is a first person story about a volcanic eruption. Words are missing throughout the text and it’s the children’s job to fill in the blanks making sure it’s the correct part of speech (as stated in brackets) and also that it makes sense. This is an explosive Mad Lib!
The first page of the document contains form fields so children can easily click and fill in the blanks. The second page is for printing off for children to fill in. Because of this, the worksheet is suitable for children to complete either online or offline. *Please note: The form functions don’t work in Google Docs, so it’s best to share the lined version instead. *
Mad libs are a great way for children to personalise stories whilst learning about parts of speech and proper grammatical structure! I hope you enjoy the often crazy versions your children come up with!
This test pack contains tests for the 2-12 times tables. Each test is comprised of 10 questions, each with a random mixture of calculation order and blanks.
Children should complete the test in one minute or less. Following that, you could have the children swap for peer correction and they can circle the score and emoji.
Each A4 page includes 4 of the same test so you can reduce paper usage. It also means they are small enough to stick in notebooks if needs be.
The download includes the original DOC file which is fully editable as well as a PDF.
This worksheet is made up of a short explanation text about the different diets in animals and humans and then a table containing three different animal skulls. Children should read the text and then looking at the skulls, suggest what animal they came from, what diet they think they might have and reasons why they think that.
The skulls are a cat skull, a giraffe skull and a gorilla skull. For reasoning, the children should try and relate the structure of the teeth to their function. For example, I think the cat is a carnivore because it has lots of sharp teeth so it can tear, shred and rip meat off the bone.
A nice warm-up or follow-up activity to this is to present a variety of other animal skull pictures and see if children can guess what animal they come from.
A set of three wheels that have a rotating arrow which starts spinning when you click and stops when you click again. It can be used for selecting random students as well as letters and numbers.
Each spinning wheel is fully editable in Microsoft Powerpoint, so you can add in your own names or other criteria for selecting randomly. The children love it and I usually ask one of them to say when to stop the spin.
A crossword puzzle for reviewing the process of the water cycle. It’s A3 size so it’s great for pairs or small groups to work together on. You could always print as A4 if needs be though. Available as both an editable DOC and PDF.
There are 28 question in total. Here are a few examples of the clues inside:
A large body of fresh water.
When water flows off a surface.
Water as a solid.
Floating chunks of ice in the sea.
I see how far the children are able to get through it before letting them use their books to help out.
This is a giant A3 sized crossword puzzle that I use to review our Ancient Rome unit at the end of term.
I usually let children work in pairs if they want to. Also, initially I won’t let them consult any resources or ask questions, just to see how far they get first.
There are more than 20 questions in total! Here are some of them to give you an idea of the level required.
A common person or person not of the patrician class.
The main unit of the Roman army. It generally had around 5400 soldiers and was divided up into groups of men called cohorts and centuries.
A group of prestigious men who advised the consuls.
A large oval shaped stadium used for chariot races.
A manmade channel used for delivering water to Roman towns.
This puzzle is would be suitable for upper KS2 and KS3.
This is a short story about Jonny’s dinner. Words are missing throughout the text and it’s the children’s job to fill in the blanks making sure it’s the correct part of speech (as stated in brackets) and also that it makes sense.
The first page of the document contains form fields so children can easily click and fill in the blanks. The second page is for printing off for children to fill in. Because of this, the worksheet is suitable for children to complete either online or offline. *Please note: The form functions don’t work in Google Docs, so it’s best to share the lined version instead. *

This worksheet is made up of 2 parts. The first involves filling in the missing information for the table about the 8 planets in our solar system.

This worksheet involves putting the pictures from Flat Stanley - The Great Egyptian Grave Robbery in the correct order.
It is meant to be used as an online activity using Google Slides or equivalent. Children can then easily move around the picture slides to put them in the correct order.
Of course, it could be printed off and then children could manually move the pictures into order.
On Google Slides, if you use Grid View, you can see most of the slides on one page which makes for ordering them easier than using the side bar.
This reading comprehension is based on the story of Egyptian Cinderella by Shirley Climo. It is made up of a variety of different questions which involve different skills from fact recall to comparison. Please see the preview to get an idea of the types of questions.

Also, please note, this document does not include the original story text. However, it can be easily found on the internet or as a read-aloud on Youtube.
A four slide presentation containing a variety of pictures and symbols to map out the story of Pie Corbett’s Storm Unicorn.
After familiarising themselves with the text, children should be able to re-read the story using only the story map. It makes for an interesting challenge.
The Challenge
This Code Breaker Challenge is made up of 4 challenge sheets, each containing three sets of questions about multiplication and division. The content is based on the Whiterose topic - Multiplication and Division for Year 3 (Spring Block 1). There is also a final challenge sheet for obtaining the master lock key.
The Setup
Ideally, the Code Breaker Challenge requires a box which can be locked with four three digit combination locks and one (master) padlock.
How to Use
Fill the box with treasure, for example some sweets and then setup the combinations on each of the locks and lock the box with them and the master lock.
Split the class up into four teams and provide each team with one of the challenge sheets.
Start a timer of approximately 30 minutes (depending on the ability and age of your class).
Each team works together to solve the challenge and tell the teacher the three digit code. If they get it correct, they may open their lock. If not, then they will need to check their answers.
Once all four combination locks have been opened, or even after the first team has finished, provide the master lock challenge. If they complete it correctly and within the time, they can then have the master lock key to open the treasure box.
Great Fun!
The children absolutely love the Code Breaker Challenge and we repeat it at the end of every major maths unit. They really need to work together and check their work carefully if they are to succeed in opening the box and retrieving the treasure within.
The documents is fully editable so you can use it as a template to create your own challenges if you like. You can also use it for other subjects as well, but it definitely lends itself to maths the most.
I hope you and your children enjoy it as much as mine do!
This challenge is one of many. Please take a look at my shop for other units. Thank you.
This worksheet provides a blank part-whole model for children to fill in with numbers of their choosing. They then have to complete the addition and subtraction fact family below based on the numbers they chose.
There are two worksheets on one sheet of A4 for saving paper. You can also use the second one for them to repeat it with larger numbers or write your own in for them to complete. You can also add further complexity by only writing in the whole and one of the parts, so they have to calculate the other part first.
The document is fully editable so you can change it suit your children’s needs.
