This is a game for 2-4 players. It is played with a single die and counters. Included are a simple game board with Christmas pictures every few squares, and a set of 24 question cards suitable for lower or upper KS2. The grammar content should have been covered by the end of Y3. If players land on a picture square, one of the other players reads out the Christmas themed grammar question. If players give the correct answer, they advance one square. If incorrect, they go back one square.
A useful resource for the period leading up to the Christmas holiday.
Print Next Steps comments onto Avery labels to save time and wrist ache when marking writing. Fourteen different sheets with twenty-one labels on each.
PDF presentation covering rules for adding suffixes to words ending in 'l', 'le'. Spelling rules for adverbs, for words ending in -'ful', changing 'y' to 'i'... More than a single lesson starter - I would focus on one slide a day and build it into a unit of work over a week or so. The complete presentation could also be used as a revision session.
PDF file containing a set of five worksheets, each with fifteen questions. Pupils calculate area of simple rectangles by multiplying width and length. Answer sheets supplied.

All words conform to the part of the rule that specifies that the vowel string is pronounced 'ee'. Suitable for KS2.

Presentation consisting of 77 slides with suggestions for weekly writing topics throughout the school year. Ideal for whole school, or multi-class writing. A daily session of 15 minutes plus an extended session at the end of the week or for homework, should give pupils time to work on the quality of their final pieces.
Starter activities include partner work for practising tables and a whole class tables activity using loop cards (link to loop card generator supplied). The presentation includes, on slide 4, a clear video demonstration on how to use tables to factorise numbers. It ends with an exhortation to pupils to learn their tables in order to be able to factorise! The independent work, linked to the presentation, consists of a worksheet with 3 exercises: 2 on tables, and one where pupils practise factorising numbers.
Selection of presentations for whole class introductions, and worksheets for individual work.
Y1 objectives :
identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations
read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving addition (+) and equals (=) signs
solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems such as 7 = ? − 9
Five worksheets where the task is to use a combination of logic, addition and subtraction to fill in gaps on a pyramid. The second puzzle is more difficult than the first.
These differentiated sets of worksheets are written to meet the objectives for Year 6 Number. Each of the four topics is split into three levels, indicated on the worksheets by 1, 2 or 3 stars. There are 3 versions of each worksheet.
The material could be used in several ways:
* work through all the levels with the whole class
* use the levels to target varying abilities within the class
* use extra versions of tasks to set as follow-up homework
* where pupils are inclined to copy, use different versions of worksheets to ensure independent working
* extra versions of tasks can be set as assessment at the end of a unit
Learning objectives are given at the beginning of each sheet.
A simple ‘thumbs up’ style of self-assessment is printed at the bottom of each task.

Each demonstration slide is followed by a whole class 'Try this' activity, which could be done on individual whiteboards or in books. Available as either PowerPoint or PDF. The second file is a worksheet where pupils have to supply the commas in sentences containing lists. Answers are provided. Lesson plan also included.
