A much shorter story that can be read in 10-15 minutes- with pictures. Or over a course of days broken down into smaller chunks. I made this because A Christmas Carol is a great story to read to children around the Christmas season to reinforce messages about kindess and empathy. There are reading comprehension questions to accompany the story, segmented to align with reading the book a few pages at a time. The questions are a mixture of retrieval, inference and word choice. There are also some worksheets attached to the story I have re-written. There are character analysis of Ebenezer Scrooge and Bob Cratchit, a comparison between Bob Cratchit’s Chirstmas and Scrooge’s Christmas. There’s a table about what each ghost shows Scrooge and what he learns from this. It’s a great week’s worth of lessons for the final week to Christmas, to keep some structure for the children while still letting them enjoy the festive period!

Great end of year quiz for children in upper KS2 on Power Point with a recording sheet. Includes 6 different rounds, including a lightning round, my class enjoy it every year. The rounds include a dissected chocolate round, emoji movie round, geography image round, a zoomed in round, snowy visitors round and a lightning round of quick fire questions set on a timer. The children have a sheet to record their answers on and the Quiz is set up with animations so it’s easy to follow.
