Mr B's Resource Store

Average Rating3.36
(based on 22 reviews)

I have been teaching across the foundation phase and Key Stage 2 since 2004, and I have created a wide range of effective resources for all sorts of topics and subjects, all of which have been tried and tested with my own pupils. Most of my resources are already differentiated, as I know how much time this saves. I hope other teachers find these resources useful and that other pupils enjoy and benefit from them as much as my classes have. All reviews/ratings gratefully received!

Food groups task and follow-up homework & fruit and veg research task

(0)
Worksheet where pupils have to divide popular meals into their food groups (e.g. spaghetti bolognese -> spaghetti (carbohydrates) beef (meat/protein) tomato (fruit&veg). I used this with my Year 3 class as part of a healthy eating topic, after studying the well-known "healthy plate" diagram showing the proportion of food groups we should eat. There is also a follow-up homework task, where pupils use the meals they eat over the weekend to complete the food groups task. Also included is a simple research task, finding out which fruit and vegetables are usually grown in the UK, and which countries are the main producers of others, with a couple of additional data handling-type questions at the end. My class completed it using the internet, although this could also be done as a homework task, with pupils researching fruit and vegetables at the supermarket.
ICT - Using a database - McDonalds nutritional information

ICT - Using a database - McDonalds nutritional information

(0)
I created this database in Excel, using actual data from the McDonalds nutritional information, and then created the questions to challenge my Year 3 class to search the database (using the filter and sort tools - just click on the arrows at the top of each field) to find the answers. You could either print the questions or let pupils type into the word version and save a copy. My class had never done databases, and I found it was a good way to introduce them to it. I simplified the information down a bit, so the database contains the menu items, fat and sugar content, calories and whether each item contains egg, milk or gluten (for allergies). I chose the McDonalds information, as we are doing a topic based on food at the moment, but this would work just as well as a standalone database lesson.
