This editable worksheet contains six simple (series) electrical circuits for the children to build. After each one, there are a series of questions relating the circuit. Take a look at the preview for further details.
A3 sized profile form which helps children collate information about themselves. I use it to help the children have a central place of reference for their personal information that they can use when writing their autobiography.
Includes basic information, family tree section, interesting facts, favourites, important moments, inspirations and more. Also has a final section where they can jot down ideas about what and where they would like to be when they are 25 years old.
The profile form is fully editable as DOC and also comes ready in PDF format.
A series of homework projects headed under:
Word Smart
Science, Maths, ICT Smart
Art, Design & Creativity Smart
Each activity compliments the children’s study of Ancient Egypt and encourages them to have fun doing them at home, hopefully furthering their passion or interest in the subject.
*The included file is a Word Document and every part is fully editable, including the year group logo. *
This worksheet involves 10 shape patterns of increasing difficulty. Children have to discern the repeating unit and then fill in the missing shapes to complete the patterns. There are a mixture 2D and 3D shapes and most of the patterns involve rotation and colour changes.
LO: I can identify patterns in sequences of shapes. I can complete missing sections of patterns in sequences of shapes.
This worksheet is designed to be used online as a Google Doc but could also be printed, however some of the shapes would be difficult to replicate just through drawing. I use it in Google Classroom and create a copy for each of the children to work on.
This document is made up of 40 different cards (4 fact cards for each of the 8 planets in our solar system). Please see the preview for insight on the variety of different facts. Ideally, print on A3 and cut up the cards.
The idea is for children to match the facts up to the correct planet. They could also put the planets in order from the sun as an additional task. I find this best suited to groups of 3-4 children so print off enough copies for your class.
It works well as a starter to a unit on space but also could be used during or at the end to see how much they have learned.
If you can, laminate the cards for future use. I hope your children enjoy this activity! Please leave a review if you’re satisfied.
This pack contains 2 large (A3) worksheets with a variety of activities and puzzles relating the male and female reproductive systems, fertilisation and menstruation. Please see the individual previews for further details. Thank you.
This large worksheet contains several different activities about the respiratory system.
The activities are as follows:
Unscramble the parts of the system.
Label a diagram of the system.
Find words related to the system in a word search.
Fill in blanks for a short paragraph about the system.
Draw a diagram to show gas exchange.
Match the parts of the system with their function.
Bonus: Write about how the structure of alveoli helps gas exchange.
Because of its size, this activity sheet lends itself nicely to pair work. Children really enjoy the variety of activities available.
The document is fully editable so you can make adjustments to suit your needs. I’ve also included a colourful version as well as a B&W version in the document.
This PowerPoint based activity is made up of 12 numbered tiles which when individually clicked on will reveal a question behind them. When a student or group gets the correct answer the question tile can then be removed to reveal a part of the picture hiding behind.
It’s perfect for Book Day or even as a warmer for a reading lesson. All the questions relate famous children’s books. Please take a look at the previews to see the questions.
The game is fully editable, so with a few clicks, (instructions in the PowerPoint), you can change the content as you please and use it for any question from any topic you like!
I usually split the class up into teams for this and let them have one collected guess at the picture if they answer a question correctly. The first team to correctly state what book the picture is about, are the winners.
On this A3 worksheet, children create a key and colour in the countries on the map of Europe. Except for the map, this document is fully editable.
Instructions: a) Select and write down the names of 15 countries, found in Europe, in the key below. b) Assign a different colour for each country and then colour in the corresponding location on the map of Europe. c) Mark on either the names of the oceans and seas, or some of the capital cities.
You could also have the children draw on famous human-made or natural landmarks.
This worksheet entails children finding objects in the classroom to first fit a certain length range - Less than, more than and between lengths. Second, it asks that children find other objects and record and measure the exact length using a ruler or tape measure. It also has a column where they can estimate or predict the length of the object.
I usually use it as an follow up to an introduction to length, measuring and measuring tools. It’s perfect for teaching about the phrases; less than, greater, than, equal to as well as how to estimate and to measure length using various tools.
The download comes both as a PDF and fully editable DOC, so you can make changes as you please.
Great introduction to hieroglyphics for the children when studying about Ancient Egypt.
The first part of the worksheet can be used as a race to see who can translate the hieroglyphs the fastest. The font is also included so you can change the message as you please.
The second part of the worksheet includes the cypher and a space for the children to create their own sentence using hieroglyphs.
*The files included in this download are a fully editable DOC and a PDF version of the same. *
This bundle is made up of 10 different templates for easily creating worksheets for use with general word work, using key words in context and grouping words.
Easily editable and no playing about with formatting. Just quickly add your own content and they’re ready to go!
Here is a breakdown that describes each of the templates in more detail…
Word Rearranging - Spaces for six different jumbled up sentences that students have to rearrange into the correct order.
Key Words in Context - Spaces for ten key words with a space next to each for students to write a short sentence that puts the key word in context.
Key Words in Context 2 - Same as above, with space (2 lines) for writing longer sentences.
Synonyms 1 - Table layout for recording ten words and two synonyms for each of the words.
Synonyms 2 - Same as above, except it is only for 6 words with a space under each for using one of the synonyms in a sentence.
Synonyms and Antonyms - Table layout for recording ten words with columns for writing down one synonym and one antonym for each of the words.
Parts of Speech Grouping - Box for recording 16 words with a table underneath for sorting the words under the correct part of speech. Could be used for grouping in many other ways though too!
Fill in the Blanks - Generic template with space for 12 words to be used to fill in the blanks of your own text underneath.
Naming Groups - 10 rows with the option of putting 4 words (that can be grouped in some way) in each. Students have to name the group.
Odd One Out - 10 rows with the option of putting 4 words in, with one being the odd one out of the group. Students have to identify the odd one out by circling it.
This is the electronic take on the classic memory game and it’s fully editable! Just add in pairs (or groups) of words for matching up. Best to be projected in front of the class and have two teams compete.
There are 24 numbered tiles that reveal the words underneath when clicked on. I’ve also included one click scoring systems (with a max 12 points for each of the two teams) as well as a hide and reveal all button.
This is great for reinforcing new vocabulary but can also be used for anything which can be split into two parts. For example, a word cut in half, a word and definition, a word and picture, a verb and its past tense form, synonyms or even a maths calculation and answer. There are so many different possibilities!
It’s also good point for introducing locational memory strategies and mnemonics.
This worksheet comprises of four activities that all relate to the parts of the skeletal system -skull, tibia, fibula, ulna, pelvis, ribs, spine, femur, patella etc.
The activities are as follows:
a) Anagrams of the parts of the skeletal system.
b) Label a diagram with some of the parts of the skeletal system.
c) A word search with some of the parts of the skeletal system with extra bonus words hidden within.
It serves as a review or follow-up to an introduction of the system and the basic process. Children are expected to know the names of the parts, how to spell them, identify them on a diagram and understand what their basic role is in the system.
*Extension task idea: Ask the children to choose one or two of the bones in the skeleton and relate it’s structure to its function. They could also create their own version of the skeletal song or create their own mnemonic to help remember the names of the bones. *
The document is mostly editable so you can change some of the parts to suit your children’s needs.

This is a giant A3 sized crossword puzzle that I use to review our Ancient China unit at the end of term.
I usually let children work in pairs if they want to. Also, initially I won’t let them consult any resources or ask questions, just to see how far they get first.
There are more than 20 questions in total! Here are some of them to give you an idea of the level required.
A type of ceramic invented by the Chinese. It is thin, strong, and beautiful. It is often called “china” in the west.
A type of varnish used to protect items and make them more beautiful.
A legendary monster that terrorized a Chinese village until they used fireworks and noise to scare it off.
A revered mythical creature that has the long body of a serpent, sharp teeth, four legs with sharp talons, and can fly.
This puzzle is would be suitable for upper KS2 and KS3.
The Challenge
This Code Breaker Challenge is made up of 4 challenge sheets, each containing three sets of questions about place value as well as an instruction section written in code. There is also a final challenge sheet for obtaining the master lock key.
The Setup
Ideally, the Code Breaker Challenge requires a box which can be locked with four three digit combination locks and one padlock. See the attached picture as an idea for the setup. It could however be done without this, but wouldn’t be quite as fun for the children.
How to Use
Fill the box with treasure, for example some sweets and then setup the combinations on each of the locks and lock the box with them and the master lock.
Split the class up into four teams and provide each team with one of the challenge sheets.
Start a timer of approximately 30 minutes (depending on the ability and age of your class).
Each team works together to solve the challenge and tell the teacher the three digit code. If they got it correct, they may open their lock. If not, then they will need to check their answers.
Once all four combination locks have been opened, or even after the first team has finished, provide the master lock challenge. If they complete it correctly and within the time, they can then have the master lock key to open the treasure box.
Great Fun!
The children absolutely love the Code Breaker Challenge and we repeat it at the end of every major maths unit. They really need to work together and check their work carefully if they are to succeed in opening the box and retrieving the treasure within.
The documents is fully editable so you can use it as a template to create your own challenges if you like. You can also use it for other subjects as well, but it definitely lends itself to maths the most.
I hope you and your children enjoy it as much as mine do!
This challenge is one in many. Please take a look at my shop for other units. Thank you.
