A very simple sheet I used with my ESL Kinder/Reception class. Children estimate then use their hand span to measure different classroom objects. They record in the table. A quick and easy resource to use as an introduction or independent activity.

A great thinking skills activity. Children to decide which is the odd one out from 3 given pictures, and explain their reasoning. I used this from Year 1 up as an early morning activity and also time filler. Children should be reminded that there are no wrong answers as long as their answer can be justified. I have heard some amazing ideas during this activity - enjoy!

A template that children can use to design their own game using a magnet. I used this resource as part of the science springs and magnets unit with Year 3, but this is easily transferable to other year groups.

I used this resource with a year 3/4 class when introducing the concept of line graphs. This is a great way to get the children to understand trends before actually having to plot or read graphs. The children create their own 'graph story' by looking at the data and coming up with a feasible explanation of what might have happened to create the data. Comparing ideas was also fun!

A letter from the tooth Fairy, used as a launch for informal letter writing as part of a teeth and healthy eating topic. Used with Year 3 but could be used across KS1 and Lower KS2. The tooth fairy "visited" the classroom while the children were in assembly and left this along with a lot of fairy dust!!

Here are some sample end of year report comments to be used with a year 3 class (could be easily adapted up or down). The comments cover reading, writing, speaking and listening and are differentiated. Enjoy resting your brain!

This resource contains 5 slides with wordsearches based on different parts of speech (prepositions of place, common nouns, action verbs and adjectives. The aim is for the students to find the words based on the picture/animation. This resource can be used as a recap, time filler or can be used in combination with the ‘What is Missing?’ resource available in my shop. This can be used with KS1 and 2, and also would be great for ESL students. Enjoy!

A Word version of the cut and paste resource.

A grid of activities to complete with given spelling words. A great resource for KS2.

2 differentiated worksheets for use in the teaching of data handling. Children should use the graph to answer questions and create their own questions.

3 differentiated sheets to promote the use of descriptive devices in writing. The resource was used as part of a traditional stories unit. Suitable from year 1 - 3.

I devised these worksheets for repetitive use over a week. The children would repeat one sheet daily for a week to help them improve their mental addition and subtraction agility.

A variety of resources to support cross curricular teaching around the PLANTS topic.

This activity was used as part of a measures workshop I taught in Grade 1. On the table were different labelled containers and in the middle of the table was a large basin of water with a plastic cup inside. The idea was to observe the children's mathematical thinking and problem solving skills throwing in questions now and then to support their autonomy. A really nice workshop - great and simple activity.

A range of numberlines for use when estimating/plotting scales. The worksheets have been designed to promote reasoning and using and applying knowledge. Children will write in the missing numbers on the different numberlines. Resource can be used for independent learning or focused group work.

An overview of ideas for teaching a plants topic.

Children will use this frame to help them develop ideas about a new character. I used this after the children created characters using the 'draw, fold and switch' method. They stuck their characters onto the sheet and then wrote details about the character they had created. There are 3 different versions of the sheet - a really fun way to promote creative, detailed writing.

A range of resources to support the teaching and learning of a Chocolate topic!! Resources were used in Year 3 and Grade 3.

This is a pack I created to support the balance and motion unit. The children went on a trip to a park so that they could use a slide, swing and see-saw to investigate forces. There are also additional activities included such as designing a front cover and a word search. This could easily be used in school provided the equipment was available and although I used this with Grade 1 (who were an extremely able class) this could be used up to Year 4. A great resource!!

10 example reports for a year 3 class (could apply to older or younger as differentiated).
