Religions Of The World Sorting Activity (sort religious objects and symbols by religion)

Religions Of The World Sorting Activity (sort religious objects and symbols by religion)

(0)
This resource helps children understand the different symbols and objects of 6 different religions (buddhism, hinduism, islam, christianity, sikhism, judaism). The idea is to sort the objects into the different religions by cutting them out and creating 6 posters - one for each religion. It is a great activity for children to work together in groups or can be done independently. Children will have 6 objects from each religion and each object contains a brief, child friendly description to explain what the item is (without giving away which religion it belongs to!) A perfect activity for all of Key Stage 2 although would also be great for upper KS1 or Lower KS3 depending on the children. **ANSWERS INCLUDED ** *This would also be perfect for a comprehension activity in shared reading or literacy lessons as the children would have to read each sentence and using inference to decide where it belongs. *

Cat In The Hat Comprehension

(0)
This is an extract from the cat in the hat with 7 comprehension questions including literal retrieval, inference, multiple choice and reasoning. I am using this for a lower ability intervention group, however it would suit any KS1 group or lower ability KS2 group. I have included a title and image too.
Four Activities for Phonics - OR

Four Activities for Phonics - OR

(0)
A series of phonic resources which I use to teach each sound across a week. This week is the ‘OR’ sound. Although the template could be easily adapted to suit any sound. Also a great resource for interventions to support the main teaching. Activity 1: Children to read the words in the table and circle the ones which have a ‘OR’ sound. During this time the teacher will circulate to hear blending and support as needed. Activity 2: Children to read the words in the list. Teacher will then call out some ‘OR’ words and children to segment into the boxes below e.g. sore s-or-e. Activity 3: Children to read the sentences. Teacher to circulate and hear reading, support as necessary. Children again to practice writing ‘OR’ words using segmenting. Activity 4: Children to read the questions and answer ‘yes or no’ to each one. Children will then write basic sentences of their own using ‘OR’ words e.g. I like chips. Blank lines have the brave and scared monkey from kinetic letters, however this can be removed if not using.
Spelling Homework (Year 1 and 2 Spelling List) Look, Cover, Write, Check

Spelling Homework (Year 1 and 2 Spelling List) Look, Cover, Write, Check

(0)
I have divided the year 1 and 2 spelling lists into 5 weekly spellings on a ‘Look, Cover, Write, Check’ style format. All that would need updating is the dates for your personal use. This is a total of 16 weeks worth of spellings. Please note: I have discounted some spellings which were overly repetitive in order to fit them all into weekly slots, for example cold, gold, told, hold.

The Highwayman Storyboard and Word bank

(0)
A fantastic resource to go alongside the youtube video. I have included screenshots from the video to retell the story as well as a word bank including characters, quotes from the poem, setting descriptions and descriptive phrases. A fantastic lesson to introduce and clarify the story of The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes.

Up-leveling sentences (with adjectives, conjunctions and fronted adverbials).

(0)
This is a complete lesson which I have used many times (including during observations). I have always received positive feedback and the children write excellent sentences with skills they can transfer into all subjects and future lessons. The lesson revolves around taking a basic sentence and adding 2 adjectives, followed by a fronted adverbial and finally a conjunction. Included is a whiteboard covering the entire lesson, the planning, starter tasks and activities and a differentiated (higher, middle and lower) main activity.
SPAG Murder Mystery!

SPAG Murder Mystery!

(0)
This is a great resource I have used with my Year 5 group, but would work well as SAT’s revision or as individual teaching elements in LKS2 or as a recap of skills in KS3. The Murder Mystery consists of five challenges based on five different SPAG areas. The children must follow the instructions on each challenge to find a clue. Each clue helps to eliminate people from the suspect list. A notebook file is included with examples of each style of challenge in order to check understanding before the children begin each task. The task begins with a story about a murder in a sleepy village and asks the children to help solve the case. Included in this set of resources is: Instructions for the teacher. A story introducing the event. The suspect list. Five clues** (with all of the answers). ** A self-assessment tool to use at the end of the unit of work. A bright, colourful Notebook file which guides through each challenge and includes examples. A lesson plan. SPAG skills covered by this resource include: Clue 1: Full stops and Capital Letters. Clue 2: Nouns, Adjectives and Verbs. Clue 2: Commas Clue 4: Subordinating and Co-ordinating conjunctions. Clue 5: Speech Punctuation. This works brilliantly in mixed ability groups or by individual groups of pupils. Higher ability pupils relish the challenge of investigating for themselves whereas some lower ability or SEN children will need support. It can be used across one (or a series of) lessons or as a weekly starter/plenary/SPAG task which can extend the ‘whodunit’ tension across an entire half term.

Story board mountain - lined

(0)
A great resource to use for a variety of topics. Each box is lined and the children can record their own story ideas or retell a story they are familiar with. Lines can easily be increased in size for lower ability/younger writers.

Romeo and Juliet Story mountain.

The story of Romeo and Juliet written in note form as story mountain. A great resource for children to turn into their own story. I have used this with gifted and talented intervention groups and whole classes and it is always a hit.
Set of 5 Reading Comprehension texts and questions.
kimberleyanddarrenkimberleyanddarren

Set of 5 Reading Comprehension texts and questions.

(0)
This is a set of five texts which can be used during shared/guided reading sessions. Each text includes literal retrieval as well as ‘find and copy’ style questions and interpretation questions. The children should be given between 20 and 30 minutes to complete the questions therefore meaning their is time left to review the answers as a group/class. Within a whole class, the higher ability children can be given an initial task to complete, such as dictionary work, while the remainder of the class begin their text. After ten minutes the higher ability children then begin their text. This means all children should complete their work at the same time. All texts are aimed at Upper Key Stage 2, however could be accessible by confident Year 4 children or some Key Stage 3 children. Please note: I do not own the copyright to any of the texts used within these worksheets. Copyright for the original texts remains with the individual authors.
Charlie and the chocolate factory themed guided reading/comprehension/shared reading game activity.

Charlie and the chocolate factory themed guided reading/comprehension/shared reading game activity.

(0)
This is a board game using the first few paragraphs of the scene in which Charlie and the guests enter the chocolate factory for the first time and see the chocolate river. The children roll a dice and move counters around the board. If they get a question correct, they may remain on the square. If their partner disagrees and can prove it they go back to the previous square. An engaging way to explore guided reading skills.
Library challenges (could be a display or for a lesson).

Library challenges (could be a display or for a lesson).

(0)
This is a set of 12 different challenges which ask the children to locate a book in the library based on a certain criteria. Great as a display or can be used as a lesson to help the children fully explore the books on offer. I have used this on a visit to a local library and in our school library. Both have worked great. If needed, children can record the name and author of the book they have found onto the back of each card and even draw a sketch of the book.
