This activity gets students to use their imagination to change things they can find outside into weird and wonderful creations. It can be used really effectively when designing and describing characters before writing a story. Each student will choose a small natural item and place it in the first column of the table. Encourage them to spend some time looking at all the small details - it is great if they can use a magnifying glass when doing this.
Next, they will re-create their item in the middle column. This could be done through a variety of ways (pencil drawing, coloring, chalk, etc.). After that they will use their imaginations to bring their item to life by drawing their new character in the next column.
Finally they will describe their character by thinking of adjectives, a descriptive sentence, or similes and metaphors to describe their creation. It can be good to encourage the use of similes and metaphors here.

This activity gets your class thinking carefully about adjectives and things that they could describe by placing the cards next to items they can find outside that match the adjective. For example, they might place ‘big’ next to a big tree. As an extension, they could then go on to use the card and the item they have found to write a sentence containing the adjective.
This activity is differentiated by the support given and the amount of input before the lesson. It may help to put your students in mixed ability groups, or for small groups to complete the activity with an adult.

Two sets of pair cards to help children learn how to read one and four quadrant coordinates grids. They can be used in a variety of ways as a whole class, in pairs, or individually. We find them very effective a exit cards or even a fun extension activity for those early finishers.
Here are two ways that we have used them successfully:
Game 1: Give each of the children 1 card, get them to walk around and find the other person with the matching card. How quickly can they do it?
Game 2: In pairs, put all of the cards face down on the table. Take it in turns turning over two cards to try and find a matching pair. The person with the most pairs at the end is the winner.
