Booklet with non-fiction text on Pompeii and retrieval question. Each question states how many marks can be gained. The HA booklet has less multiple choice questions. The SEN booklet has multiple choice questions and the text is shorter with fewer tricky words.

All the activities focus on adding and subtracting 3-digit numbers using the formal written method. The mastery activity requires children to decide for themselves whether to add or subtract and includes fun concepts such as Match Attax. It is available in two versions (stickers or plain A4) There are two more challenging or ‘Greater Depth’ activities for children who are secure at mastery level. These require more reasoning skills to solve the problems

Comprehension questions for chapter 11 and chapter 12 up to page 47 for Fantastic Mr Fox. Questions cover a range of reading skills and are differentiated for higher and lower. Each activity has 2 versions - a sticker version and a normal A4 plain paper version

The powerpoint introduces pupils to this skill including why it is important. There is an example which models the first activity well. The first activity is differentiated for higher and lower ability pupils. The mastery activity has less scaffolding and again is differentiated two ways. Finally there is an application booklet which has test style questions based on this reading skill.

A two part activity that requires pupils to identify the abstract verb n each sentence. They will then be given a choice of abstract verbs to use in sentences. A good activity for more able pupils to complete during grammar lessons on verbs.

Two activities based on using inference and deduction. Both have been differentiated slightly for higher and lower ability pupils. The first activity gives a situation. Children have to use clues to decide how the character is feeling and what must have happened to them. The mastery activity uses a paragraph of fiction in a familiar setting. There are test-style questions underneath, with more scaffolding/multiple choice for lower ability pupils.

This resource requires children to cut up information (and subheadings for more able) and group them into the correct paragraphs. It is differentiated 3 ways to support different abilities. The writing concerns facts about volcanoes. Pictures used are from Twinkl.

This bundle of activities are fantastic for teaching children how to proof read and spot mistakes in writing. The two booklets contain three different activities using extracts from Roald Dahl stories. First pupils look at punctuation errors, then common spelling mistakes and finally improving grammar and vocabulary. Both booklets are the same but the LA has fewer mistakes to find. The extension activity brings all these skills together. The column with hints down the side could easily be removed for more able children. The lesson 2 activities also bring all these skills together, with a table to support pupils in ensuring they have found ALL the errors. Again, the LA document has fewer errors to find.

This resource can be used either at the start of a topic as a baseline or at the end of a topic to assess learning. The questions relate to different Year 3 geography and history objectives such as identifying the equator, naming the 7 continents, comparing lives of people in the past etc. Most of the questions place these skills in the context of volcanoes, e.g. Pompeii This resource may also give you ideas for linking objectives to this topic and activities you could do in the classroom.

These resources relate to the Year 3 Maths curriculum but could easily be tweaked to suit similar objectives in other year groups. The activities require children to use their reasoning skills and decide how to solve the problem e.g. count on or back? They place this skill in a fun context using objects that appeal to children’s interests (such as Shopkins) before moving onto more challenging problems. A fantastic resource for more able children to move onto! Please note, 2 of the files are formatted to print on stickers (11 per sheet) as this seems to be increasingly popular in schools but questions can be easily copy and pasted onto any format.
