SLOW writing enables pupils to practice the skills they have learnt by using them in their writing. Pupils cannot move on to the next sentence unless that sentence contains the prescribed objective. This SLOW write activity allows pupils to add three of their sentence types/objectives that they must also include in their writing. SLOW write is helping the children in my class produce excellent pieces of writing and they love using it because they are realising that they can do it and it isn't difficult. I hope you find this resource of SLOW writing useful. As an NQT I would really appreciate feedback on this resource! Thanks.

I have created two Making Connections Posters; one with key questions and the other with sentence starters for pupils use for making connections between the text they are reading and themselves, another text and the world. This activity helps pupils to deeper their understanding of a text through making links for themselves. Use the think-aloud strategy to model how to make each type of connection, using your list of personal connections to the particular text. This activity is brilliant when pupils extracting specific information from the text that they then make links to.

Children will understand friction and how it can affect our lives. They will understand how friction can be a good thing and a bad thing. Children will understand how gravity effects the Earth and how there are other forces at place such as air resistance.

Order the football pitches in order of size by working out the area of each. This activity requires pupils to also use long multiplication. Fantastic maths activity to particularly engaged bots in maths.

Long multiplication lesson suitable for years 4,5 and 6. The flipchart slides include a maths starter, teaching slides, main activity, challenge and plenary. The main activity is to work out the total running time for different running paces between 14 to 3 mins per mile. This includes multiplying decimals by up to two digits. Challenge: 3km is a good distance to run. This is the same as 1.9 miles. Calculate the total time for each of the paces.

Links to cross curricular theme - Amazon rainforest. This is a challenging maths activity where pupils have to calculate how long the journey takes from Manchester airport to Manaus airport in the Amazon rainforest. Pupils will have to calculate up to 3 different flights per journey and include any layover or connection times in their final total journey time answer. On the activity worksheet, there are six different journeys all with the same destination. Pupils could be further challenged by calculating which journey is the quickest/slowest and order them. The flight times have been taken from the internet and were accurate on 22nd April 2017. We have been reading Journey to the River Sea in class and Maia (main character) in the book travels from England to Manaus, so this activity is a great link.

Children will investigate data and statistics. The data shows the rainfall and temperature in Manaus (central Amazon) compared to London. Pupils could use the data to draw a line graph/bar chart etc. There are also questions that pupils must answer linked to the data. This activity links closely to the cross curricular theme - Amazon Rainforest.

9 full KS2 SATs Arithmetic tests. 36 questions in each paper. 30 mins to complete. Answers included. I hate paper waste so I have created these tests on one piece of paper for pupils to complete, rather than printing out arithmetic booklets that waste tons of paper. I have used these in a variety of ways: pupils have used jotters and maths books for working out then written their answers on the sheets; they have had 1 sheet between 2 and completed the whole test in maths books and I have also displayed the sheet on the iwb and pupils have made their way through the test.

cross curricular orienteering clues - 2D and 3D shapes 10 orienteering clues for OAA PE lessons with 10 flags and score cards for teams of 2. I laminated the flags, hole punched, attached string then dotted them around the school field attached to the fence, trees and other objects. I then paper clipped the shape clues to the flags. I gave each pair of children a different shape which they then had to find the properties for and the number of the flag that the clues were attached to. Aimed at KS2.
