KS2 Biome activies
A couple of activity sheets used in KS2 when exploring and comparing biomes around the world.
Geographical Enquiry - name the country
Included are five sets of cards, each describing a different country (Poland, Finland, Cuba, France and Romania)
Each set contains facts about the human and physical geography of each country, as well as photos of a variety of locations.
I use this as a starting activity to get children thinking about different countries around the world. They need to use their existing knowledge and atlases to identify the country.
2020 Olmypics lessons
A series of presentations and activities I have made ready for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. I have designed these for Year 4, but they could be used with any KS2 or KS3 class if adapted.
Contains:
History of the Greek Olympics presentation
Historical/Geographical source work - “How have the Olympics changed?”
Powerpoint on Tokyo and how they got the games
Template to make a guidebook to Tokyo
Lesson worksheets about Tokyo
Presentation about Olympic medals
Mindful moments - Complete set
My complete set of “mindful moments” worksheets.
Includes activities based on gratitude, kindness, being positive and managing worries.
Could be used in any age range, but originally used in KS2.
Positivity and gratitude - mindful moments
A series of simple activity sheets to help children stay calm, positive and recognise what they are grateful for.
I used this as part of a “mindful moments” session during registration. There is also a set focussing on dealing with worries.
Managing worries - mindful moments
A series of simple activity sheets to help children consider their worries, and how they could deal with them.
I used this as part of a “mindful moments” session during registration. There is also a set focussing on positivity and gratitude.
Geography Italian food, agriculture, weather
A powerpoint and worksheet used as part of a topic on Italy/Romans, looking at the links between food, farming and climate. Children are asked to explore what the popular foods in Italy tell us about agriculture and climate.
Originally used in Year 4, but could be used with slightly older or younger children.
Line Guides (portrait and landscape)
A variety of line guide options that I have used across KS1 and KS2: small lines, wider lines and two handwriting paper options.
Landscape and portrait options available.
KS1 geography UK countries
A lesson used with Year 2 to introduce the four countries within the UK. There are also two different worksheet options to complete.
Originally, the children followed this up by researching one country each and making a poster of it to present back to the class.
KS1 compass directions
A simple worksheet used in continuous provision to practice using the directions of a compass.
KS1 geographical enquiry
A series of worksheets to be used for geographical inquiry with KS1. It asks children to identify features of a place, and suggest what it might be like to live there. Links also to work on city/town/village.
I originally used this as a continuous provision activity, but it could easily be part of a lesson.
KS1 rural urban coastal
A PowerPoint and associated activities used during an “Our World” topic to introduce the concept of coastal, rural and urban.
KS1 Equator and poles
A lesson introduction and activities used with a year 2 class to explore the temperature of different parts of the globe.
Introduces the idea of poles, as well as the Equator. The two different activities both relate to temperature - one asks children to make the varying temperatures on a world map; the other looks at animals in hot and cold environments.
This could link to science and habitats.
KS2 geographical enquiry South America
Originally used with Y4/5, this is a lesson prompt and two worksheets asking children to use a range of geographical images to describe a place.
The prompt sheet contains photos of places, wildlife and maps from various places in South America.
KS1/2 Map skills - grid references
A simple worksheet previously used in Y2/Y3 to explore grid references on maps.
Children locate countries within the grid reference on a European map. Could be used as continuous provision/independent work following other lessons.
KS2 - Music notes - fractions
A simple worksheet I have used to combine fractions with the notes on a stave.
Asks the children to add basic fractions in relation to the relative value of musical notes.
KS2 Doubling -Exponential growth
An lesson based on the traditional Indian tail of Sissa-ben-Dahir. This looks at the concept of exponential growth through doubling.
Children are introduced to the topic through the powerpoint, and then explore doubling using the game of chess.
I have used this across KS2, but this could also be used in other age ranges
Egyptians - Adding fractions KS2
A lesson looking at adding fractions and unit fractions, linked to the Egyptians.
Originally this was used in a mixed Y5/6 class to explore the concept of unit fractions, and adding fractions.
This includes a presentation, lesson plan and the worksheet used during this lesson. I have also included the fraction wall I used to support pupils. These can be cut up to help children understand the concept of adding unit fractions.
Parts of circle - whole lesson Penny farthing
The full lesson of my parts of a circle lesson, linked to Victorian Penny Farthings.
The PowerPoint goes through the different parts of the circle, as well as introducing pi and how to calculate the circumference.
Used in KS2, but also suitable for KS3.
Comparing European countries (Italy, UK, Poland)
A set of activities/worksheets to compare and contrast weather and climate in Italy, Poland and the UK. This involves interpretation of graphs and charts, some statistical work comparing data, as well as general geographical comparison and inquiry.
There are two sheets that compare Rome/UK, which would also fit into a topic on the Romans.
