I made this Powerpoint to encourage children to focus on punctuation and capital letters.

Some hands on Christmas problem solving activities I made for the last week in school before the Christmas break. My year threes loved these and worked on them for ages (much longer than I expected) in little groups. It was good to see children who usually struggle in maths shining during this session, as they were great at visual problems and could see things the other children couldn't! I used the little coloured match sticks for the children to arrange and rearrange on their tables.

I used this activity when we were working on measuring in cm within our 'Ourselves' topic. The children worked in pairs and used rulers and tape measures to measure the length of their hands, ears, feet, etc.

I made this resource to help my Year 1's become familiar with matching up lower case letters to their equivalent capital letters, by matching the ice-cream to the correct cone.

My class 'received&' a letter from Captain Pete Pigeon, during our literacy unit on writing letters. We wrote back to him on the &';scrolls' and it made a really nice display, along with the old fashioned map, compass and title.

A quick and simple science investigation to show how plants use water. Just cut the end off a piece of celery and pop it in some red or blue food colouring - Eventually, the celery will have a red or blue tint as it absorbs the colouring, particularly on the end. We left it over the weekend to ensure nice bright results, but overnight would probably work too.

I made these blank booklets for my Year 2 class when we were doing information texts in literacy. The booklets are differentiated for higher, middle and lower ability. Hope they save somebody some time!

I made a PowerPoint and activity sheets to help my Year 3 pupils become familiar with solving number riddles such as 'I choose a mystery number, double it and add 2, I end up with 12. What was my mystery number?'

A PowerPoint with a story about Jesus as a young person, moving on to his training as a carpenter and a slide asking what the children would like to be when they grow up.

A quick activity to help children become familiar with the German vocabulary for starter, main course and dessert. It also has space for them to write down their favourite choices of food and drink in German.

Colourful pictures of different fruits and vegetables made to look like animals.

Three differentiated activity sheets for LA, MA and HA children on adding whole numbers and fractions together.

I used this during our Ancient Egypt topic as part of a wall display.

A sheet that encourages children to imagine what thet could see, smell, hear and feel in a setting.

The children studied a country in pairs, using books and the Internet, and then wrote an imaginative diary entry as if they were a child living in that country.

Simple bunting for each child to fill out with their name, age and a drawing of themselves. To be hung up in the classroom during the first week back!

Activities based on the Alfie and Annie Rose stories by Shirley Hughes. The first activity is for the children to describe both characters, and the second is for the children to retell the story of Mr McNally's hat in a story-map style.

A simple and child friendly assessment to allow you to quickly see where your children are within the Year 2 English curriculum and highlight any individual or class gaps in learning. Can be used each term to show progress.
