If you are studying dragons in conjunction with any subject, this is your perfect Art lesson to go along side! <br /> Children start with A3/A4 paper. They draw an eye outline covering most of their page and place a dragon pupil, made from black card, inside it. Children who require more support my need the eye outline drawn for them. They then create a design inside the eye, which could be anything! Try to stick to a dragon theme i.e. castles, fire... Finally, the children will create dragons scales. They will use only two colours, but they will experiment with tones, creating lighter and darker scales to surround the eye.

This is a really hands on activity in which children experiment folding paper to create different fractions. It is designed as an introductory fractions lesson. It provides visual representations of fractions with the intention of breaking down the abstract. Firstly 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 then on to 1/3, 1/6 and 1/12. Then there's a super challenge finding sevenths of a square. The lesson should be recording with photographs or the square sheets can be stuck into books. If you are unsure how to create square sheets, I have provided some printable squares. Designed for Year 3 or 4 and as an introduction to fractions.

This is a year 4 resource aimed at improving children's enquiry skills. It takes two maps, one of Anglo Saxon London and one of modern day London and prompts children to investigate where modern place names were derived. It will also prompt children to compare the human and physical features of the two maps. I suggest printing maps A3 so children can clearly read place names. This resource is differentiated 3 ways. It is a cross curricular lesson, taking objectives from history and geography.

This Year 4/5 resource explains the significance of Alfred the Great's achievements. The group task is best done in partners. In this activity, children place statements about Alfred's life on a sliding scale, deciding which are the greatest of his achievements. This resource is then differentiated three ways for independent work. Using statements, children need to write about how important his achievements were.<br /> You are to arrange the statements in order of greatness in your book. Next to each statement write how 'great' you think this part of Alfred's life was and why. <br /> You are to arrange the statements in order of greatness in your book. In paragraphs, compare the 'greatness' of two statements at a time.<br /> You are to write a report on what made Alfred 'Great'. Use subordinating conjunctions and connectives to link your writing.

This lesson give a brief insight into the lives of famous poets of WW1. In particular, it focuses on Siegfried Sassoon and his poem 'Does it matter?' Children are encouraged to identify trends in his poetry so they can write a poem in that style. This is aimed at Years 4/5/6. The poem should be planned on the planning sheets and then written up in books.

This resources focuses on doubling 2 and 3 digit numbers. I have provided the context of cooking; a real life activity in which this process could be important. The SMART provides a method of working out doubles via partitioning HTU and adding them back together in more manageable chunks. I have attached two proforma for the method. If children are using this resource multiple times, I recommend laminating it to use for years to come! It is a very visual way of working out doubles. I recommend for Year 3/4. The resource is differentiated 3 ways with all questions displayed on SMART to avoid printing costs.

Begins with starter, moves on to demonstrate how to partition in order to simplify multiplication of a teen number and a unit. Practice activity to be completed either in books or whiteboards. Set of questions for two abilities displayed on board. Copy of method attached as useful hand out for children who may benefit from a visual aid. Recommended for Year 3 or lower end Year 4.

This resource is for children who have learnt about Rivers and are ready for a new challenge; Mudflats. It explains what they are and how they are created. It describes the rich animal life and animals co-exist in this environment. The independent work is for children to create a Mudflat Tourist Information board. This lesson is differentiated 3 ways. The most able will design their information board independently. Everyone else will have templates and prompts to work from. This is an Upper KS2 resource although some able year 4's could manage this too.

Includes all Statutory and a wide range of Non-Statutory spellings direct from the National Curriculum. Each week focuses on a new spelling pattern. Each week is differentiated 3 ways. I have named ability groups Buffalo (lowest SEND), Meerkat and Toucan (most able) feel free to change names. The spellings are designed to print a set of 21 per sheet. Perfect for printing on 21 sticker sheets. Otherwise print on A4, cut and stick in reading record/journal or wherever children keep spellings. I have included a 'more statutory spellings' file in which documents are numbered 1 - 10 - these are not differentiated as all children should learn them.

This resources explains how to divide using compact division. It has a step by step break down of the method. It also provides activities for SEND or less able pupils who may not be ready for such an abstract way of working. SEND will be using a numberline to divide. A support sheet is provide for SEND. The lesson is differentiated 3 ways with all questions displayed on SMART notebook.

This 'easy to use' resource provides step by step instructions for children to learn how to read music. It starts with introducing words with different rhythms. i.e. fly - one, spider - two, caterpillar - 4. Lady-bird has two fast and one slow and Grass- hopper is the same reversed. These rhythms are first clapped and then played on untuned instruments and finally played on tuned instruments using the pentatonic scale of C D E G A. The SMART explains it all. There are sheets with bars for children to compose their own music. I recommend laminating these for multiple use. This resource has a lot of scope and can be used from Year 2 to Year 6 depending on the complexity of the rhythms. I wouldn't recommend years 2 and 3 using tuned instruments at this stage.

This is designed for the slightly beyond beginner. Two parts to be played in unison ( rhythm and melody)<br /> Both parts straight forward but will take some understanding of Pompeii by Bastille and good timing! Good luck!
