Two diary entries based on the same event (visiting the new school wildlife/garden area) One is basically written with very little attempt at adding detail, high-level punctuation and complex sentences. The other is of end of KS2 Standard. I used this activity to get the children to realize that as teachers, we see pieces of text about the same event but the quality of the texts varies drastically. Which would they rather be writing? Which would I rather be reading? Why? Explain why one is better than the other. Files are uploaded as Publisher, PDF and Word.

Featuring functional correct/wrong screens and 50/50 lifelines, this is perfect for assessment, Safer Internet day or parent workshops, this new and improved interactive gameshow is an entertaining way to teach groups about online safety. There are 15 questions, testing children's knowledge of: - Vital e-Safety organisations - Definitions of key terms - Steps children can take to remain safe online - Shocking statistics ...and more! Fantastic for Safer Internet Day but equally good for any e-Safety lesson. N.B The original logos for Who Wants to be a Millionaire are property of Sony Pictures Television. For this reason they have not been included, but a similar non-trademarked version has. Please see my shop for other gameshows, worksheets, activities and time-saving ideas.

Three famous poems and reading comprehension questions and mark schemes to go with them. Questions include question types found in the 2016, 2017 and 2018 SATs papers or in End of Year assessments. Poem 1 - I sit beside the fire and think (The Hobbit) - J.R.R Tolkien Poem 2 - Warning Poem 3 - Please Mrs. Butler I have used these as whole class exercises and for specific groups in guided reading.

Please leave feedback. These are excel spreadsheets Gap Analysis documents for the May 2018 Year Six SATs Papers for GPS (including spelling). The sheet totals up the scores automatically and each child’s final score changes colour to reflect their ability. If their total score for a subject goes green, it means they would have passed the 2018 SATs with that score. If it goes Purple with a White font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject. I have also included an instructions and document page, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included a link to the conversion tables from RAW Score to Scaled Score. All a teacher has to do is enter their children’s names and enter the 0’s, 1’s, 2’s or 3’s for each question, which also change colour too for a visual reference. I recommend that a teacher should enter ‘N’ if a child did not attempt that question. This gives an idea of who is not even attempting certain questions, not just whether they got the question wrong. The sheets are set up for 30 or 90 pupils but more can be added/deleted and instructions are on the first page/sheet. Some cells are locked/protected in this document but the parts that you need to insert yourself are editable, including adding and removing rows. This is so that the formulas/algorithms do not break and render the spreadsheet’s functionalities as broken. This password will not be given out, but I am more than happy to make adaptations or changes for you, provided you show proof of purchase. All of my contact details are in the resource. I take requests for Gap Analysis Grids. Please leave feedback if you like this resource as I am planning to produce more for each SATs paper going forward, as well as CGP Practice Papers. Please remember to rate this resource as I made this to save teachers time. Thank-you.

This resource will save you many hours work when trying to use Assessment for Learning in your class. There are two QLA grids included in one Excel document for help with Gap Analysis. Arithmetic Reasoning Input the data using the marks from the papers and the grid will change colour to show where a child has been successful or not answered a question correctly, or at all. The spreadsheet will auto-calculate how successful the whole cohort has been on particular questions. These are linked directly to the WRM small steps so you can see which lessons and steps need to be revised. 30 children can be entered in this document. The total score thresholds auto-calculate and change colour to help indicate which children are working at approximately an expected standard (EXS) level or a Greater Depth (GDS) level. These thresholds use historical KS2 SATs thresholds to make them as accurate as possible. Please note, some of the cells are locked for editing so that users do not break the spreadsheet functionality. Passwords will not be given out. However, I am more than happy to assist with any adaptations you need. Additionally, I am in no way affiliated with White Rose Maths. No White Rose Maths resources are included in this product. Freely available content is linked to within it.

Included in this time saving resource are three differentiated word problems aimed at KS1. -Lower Ability -Middle Ability - Higher Ability

The sheet totals up the scores automatically and each child’s final score changes colour to reflect their ability. If their total score for a subject goes green, it means they would have passed the 2016 SATs with that score. If it goes Orange, it means they are within touching distance. If it goes Green with a yellow font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject. I have also included a digital document, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions.

A two-way differentiated activity sheet/worksheet that will develop the children’s understanding of line graphs, data handling, averages and data handling vocabulary. Sheet 1 - 8 Questions asking about the warmest/coldest months, difference in temperature between months. There are two data sets on the graph (two lines, same axes) Sheet 2 - 8 Questions focusing more on averages and trends. There are three data sets on the same axes. Completely different questions. Answers are provided for both sheets. I have provided two different layouts which also add to the challenge. One has a wider line graph set, the other has a narrower set. This will test children’s adaptability to varying presentations.

A four-way differentiated activity sheet/ worksheet to develop an understanding of conjunctions and adverbs. Challenge 1 - improve sentences by adding in coordinating conjunctions. Challenge 2 - improve sentences by adding in subordinating conjunctions. Challenge 3 - improve sentences by adding adverbial sentence openers. Mastery Challenge - Vary the position of subordinating conjunctions and adverbs within sentences.

Editable differentiated data handling activity for KS1 children or lower KS2 children. Activity 1 - children complete a tally chart (in this instance, number of letters in their classmates' names - this is editable) Activity 2 - Create a bar chart from their data. Lower Ability - Axes are labelled Higher Ability - Axes are not labelled

Fantastic investigations for all groups of children, exploring the rules for odd and even numbers. - High ability document - What happens when you add an odd number to an odd number, an even to an even, an even to an odd...what about multiplication? - This activity is differentiated seven ways with a summary/results page for the children to complete at the end. The children really love this! - Lower Ability Document - Find all odd/even numbers between two numbers, find the next even number, find the previous odd number etc.

Two differentiated activity sheets for KS1 children where they need to write certain shapes, names or words in a coordinate grid. Activity 1 - simplified instructions e.g. 'Draw a three sided shape in' Activity 2 - harder instructions e.g. 'Draw a ___ in the cell directly under the ______'

Activity sheet where children have two put decimal numbers and whole numbers in ascending order. There are twelve problems, each with four numbers to put into order.

These handy flip-packs enable children from Years 2-8 to improve their vocabulary choice within writing lessons. To create the final resource all you need to do is cut out each 'colour', laminate them and then hole punch through the hole on each laminated colour. A treasury tag can then be used to keep them all together. I have one of these on each desk my children sit at and they find them very useful. It also gets the point across that there are many ways of saying the same thing, but some ways are more impactful than others!
