This is a pack I made for a split grade 3/4 class. It is made up of different literacy activities for them to complete based on an Ancient Greece topic. The additional reading was done via Kids A-Z although other versions can easily be used in place. The activities require the children to read and research themes such as pottery and the Olympics, but there is also grammar, poetry and art included. I have included a page for teachers with all of the video links and instructions for the week.

I am including a lesson plan and resources to accompany it, in this bundle. I recently did this lesson with a 1st Grade class (predominantly ESL) but it would work for Reception/Year 1 or 2. The non English or less able children had to draw in their answers and those who could, had to add labels. There is an evaluation for the more able children and a conclusion for the LA in order to teacher asses whether they have met their objectives. Easy to use, easy to adapt - I hope you find it helpful!

This is a cut and paste activity. Children will be given colour coded cause and effect sentences, which they should unscramble and paste in their books. Children will then shade the cause in one colour and the effect in another. I had the sentences pre-cut and in envelopes (1 set for each child). As the sentences are colour coded this worked well and also gave the children a chance to revise their knowledge of sentences e.g. starting with a capital etc. This activity was used for a LA group in Year 3 but could be used in many different ways, including pre_assessment of cause and effect, or end of unit assessment. The children really enjoyed the activity.

Report card progress report comments for a Kinder class. The class I wrote these for were predominantly ESL so this aspect has also been included. These can be used directly or relevant parts can be cut and pasted. A time-saver for overworked teachers!!

A PowerPoint presentation I designed to introduce Napier's Rod as a multiplication strategy. Could be used as homework help or support for parents. A good and quick revision aid that can be edited.

Here are 14 example report card comments for year 3/4 or grade 3 students. These are for English/ELA and are differentiated. They can be combined to better reflect the students you are teaching.

Some sheets I used with a K5 class at the beginning of the year. Used to revise the letters of the alphabet and initial letter sounds. Could be used with 1st Grade/Year 1 lower ability children or ESL children. Good also as a formative assessment.

A simple sheet I used in Kindergarten (ESL children) where they had to estimate which container would have the biggest/smallest capacity, then measure by counting cups of water to fill each container. A fun activity to reinforce capacity.

This is a fun 39 slide PowerPoint focusing on Christmas traditions from 5 different countries. There is information and photos ending with a quiz, wordsearch and a task for students to complete. Could be used as a complete lesson or a time filler towards the end of term. Enjoy!

This is a 24 slide resource to introduce rounding to the nearest 10. There are explanations and examples as well as activities for the students. This is aimed at Year 2/3 children.

4 activities included: A wordsearch, colour by numbers, addition/subtraction code cracker and a dot-to-dot. Made for those end of term afternoons between Christmas play rehearsals etc when you just need a quick time filler. I hope it helps!

This is a 14 slide PPT lesson introducing idioms. There are some examples included as well as 3 tasks for the students to complete.

This is a back to school/New school year activity to promote talk and collaboration. The aim is that students go around and talk to other members of the class in order to find someone to fit each category. There are 2 differentiated versions - both editable.

A cut and paste activity to reinforce features of an advert in persuasive text units. Designed for LA Year 3 children. Children paste the examples under the subheadings and then write in some examples of their own (could be provided by the teacher)

3 differentiated levels. Worksheets reinforce partitioning to add using a numberline. Resource could be used to prepare children for mental strategies of addition. Worksheet includes an example for the children to refer to.

These resources ca be used to support the teaching of personification in poetry. I used these resources with a Year 3 class however they could be used up to Year 5.

This is a worksheet designed for year 3/4 when teaching explanatory texts. Each page has a different picture for the children to use, they will both describe what can be seen and explain what is happening in the picture. Resource can be used at any point in the unit.

Children generate adjectives, similes and metaphors from a range of picture prompts. Resource can be used as a follow up to whole class teaching. I used these as part of a poetry unit in Year 3.

Children locate right angles within the classroom. They record their findings in the table and then use their knowledge to visualize whether certain objects have right angles. Used in Year 2/3.
