This is a cut and stick activity for children to use when learning about circuits. They cut out all of the pictures and match the picture to the circuit symbol and definition. I use with my Year 6 class but could definitely be used with younger children with some adult support.
Here is a collection of pictures of typical Victorian jobs. I get the children to draw a Venn Diagram or Caroll Diagram in their book, cut out the pictures and stick them in. They could sort them between rich jobs and poor jobs or jobs for children and jobs for adults.
I send these SATs revision sheets out in the last couple of weeks before the SATs. They sum up many of the topic taught this year and help children revise.
These wordy volume problems are set out so they can be printed on sticky labels (7 by 2). I get the children to stick 1 at a time in their books. That way they have plenty of space to do the workings out in the squares of their book. They are sorted by difficulty - challenge 1, 2 and then 3 is the hardest. I put a selection on each table and then the children chose which questions to answer based on how confident they feel.
These problems are laid out so that they can be printed on stickers (2 by 7). This is so the children can chose their problem, stick it in their book and have plenty of space to do the workings out. The problems are organised by challenges 1 being the easiest and 3 the hardest. I allow children to chose their own challenge.
Here is my bank of spelling lists for Year 6. One for each term (1-5) to send home to parents. The lists cover all Year 6 objectives from the new curriculum.
Here is a full set of start of topic assessments for maths that I made to assess my year 6 class. I get them to do it first at the start of the unit and then again at the end. The questions directly link to the national curriculum and to most online assessment grids.
This resource contains 5 recipes for a Victorian Cooking lesson. I split my Year 6 class into 5 groups. Each group cooks a different Victorian dish. Once everyone has finished cooking, we have a Victorian banquet! Parent helpers essential!
This bundle contains everything you need to a 2 week unit of work on writing a historical narrative set in the Victorian Era. I have included: 2 weeks worth of English plans; smart notebook slides for the week with warm ups, lesson structures and activities; a building a picture sheet which children can use to asses their own writing to ensure they’ve included a range of language features; a planning sheet for children to fill in; and a modelled write which is written at year 6 level and contain all the features which children are expected to include.
This is a weeks worth of English lessons on the theme of Victorian Workhouses. It is aimed at Year 5 or 6 pupils. I have included a full weekly English plan, smart notebook slides for the week, a planning sheet for the children to use to plan their writing and a high quality modelled write which covers a lot of the main elements Year 6 children are expected to include (a range of sentence types, subordinate clauses in different positions, advanced language).
This would be best taught after/ alongside reading the book ‘Street Child’.
This is a whole unit of work for Year 6 English lessons on Non-chronological reports. It comprises of 9 lessons and includes the build up to two big writes - one of which I use as a full independent write (assessed piece). The lessons are set up on smart noteboard and each slide contains the outline of the lessons, questions and explanation of activities. I have also created (and included) a modelled write which enables children to see the type of writing that is expected of them in Year 6. The modelled write contains a range of sentence types and high level punctuation.
This Year 6 Maths bundle contains: worksheets, activities, extensions, planning and Smart notebook slides for full units of work based on the White Rose scheme. It covers: Area and Perimiter, Measures, Position and Direction, Ratio and Shape.
This is a full unit of work for the Year 3 White Rose unit Number and Place Value. It includes smartnotebook slides with ‘recap’ ‘explore’ ‘hinge’ and ‘tasks’ as well as worksheets and extensions. Everything you need to deliver high quality mastery maths lessons.
This is the notebook file for an English unit where students will write their own Mayan Stories. I teach this unit with my Year 6 class towards the end of the Mayan topic when the class have a good knowledge of the Mayan Era. This notebook file contains the modelled write split up into sections to give students inspiration for their own writing.
This is a high quality modelled write about cinemas that I use with my Year 3 class to model what a non-chronological report should look like. It contains the key features of an information text: headings, subheadings, a picture, an introduction etc. As well as the key grammatical features that Year 3/4 children should be aiming to use (fronted adverbials, FANBOYS, subordinate clauses, brackets, questions, exclamations and colons).
In the lesson, I would get the children to read the text and discuss what they have learnt from it. They could develop the skills of scanning and skimming and re-calling key information. Then, I ask them to highlight the key features of a non-chronological report. Finally, they could search for high quality language, facts or punctuation that they would like to use in their own writing.
This is a modelled write that I have written for my Year 3 class when studying the book 'Escape from Pompeii'. It's an information text/ travel brouchure about Pompeii. My class analysed this piece of writing before planning and writing their own versions where they chose their own city in Europe to write about. They had to decide on the layout and heading/ subheadings.
