This worksheet involves questions that relate to the text of Pie Corbett’s Storm Unicorn. The questions cover basic recall and then move onto more advanced comprehension skills such as inference. The final section leaves a space for the children to attempt to draw the Storm Unicorn based on the details of the report. It encourages children to think flexibly and relates the plight of the unicorn with that of rhino’s. It also opens up a wealth of discussion surrounding that point too. I usually use this after the children have read, mapped and analysed the report in detail first. It acts a good gauge for their understanding. *The document is fully editable so you can change questions as you please. *

Each statement has 1-3 blanks that the children have to fill in through either prior knowledge or researching on the internet or in books. The final part of the worksheet is a word search which contains many of the answers and other words too. It even has a hidden message that is only revealed when the children have found a certain number of words. The worksheet serves as a nice introduction to various facts about Japan and requires the children to think about what search terms to use to find the information they need effectively. I usually have the children work in pairs for this as they can bounce ideas off each other, discuss and divide the questions up between them. You could even provide a certain statement to each student and then have them share their findings at the end for others to record.

This worksheet uses the game of darts to help consolidate knowledge of addition and subtraction. It can be used with or without a real board and darts. You could even use an online game instead. It really helps add some extra enjoyment to maths! The first section of the worksheet involves getting accustomed to the board - knowing what each section of the board is worth. This involves some multiplying by two and three for doubles and triples, but repeated addition could be used for younger learners. The second part of the sheet involves calculating a score of three darts and then subtracting that total from 101, which is this particular game of darts. The final part involves continuing the game and trying to finish with exactly zero. A professional game of darts usually finishes with a double but it could be a single number to make it more likely new players can finish. The worksheet comes in a DOC format, so most parts are easily editable.
