All children can have the same card. Words include right/left/clockwise/anti-clockwise/N/E/S/W etc with a little arrow or symbol next to each. Highlight or circle 4/5 words. Teacher mimes the word and children put their hand up to guess which word it is. If they have it tick or put a counter on it. Winner is first to get all 4/5 and stand up and shout BINGO!. Sticker for winner! Ideal starter/ plenary game. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

This is a Smartboard lesson can be used to explain how to work out division sums on a number line. There are 2 levels of work for the children to do on one of the slides. It is for roughly level 3C/3B. Please leave feedback!

We pretended to go into outer space and set the classroom as up if we were in a rocket. The Smartboard was at the front, as if it were a window on the rocket. This was part of a fun topic we did on Aliens. There is plenty of chance for role play and drama. We ended up landing on a new planet,Kepler B22, and bringing back alien eggs which they had to look after. This lead to lots of drawing and writing when the eggs hatched! They wrote a recount of their trip. We also had a debate:Should we keep the eggs? Try it out-they will love it! Please leave feedback!

There is a link to the nrich website where you will find the sheet and more information. The starter of this lesson looks at balancing sums , Then the main part of the lesson introduces the maze. They have to go from beginning to end and each number they go through they have to add on to their total and they must have 100 by the end. Please leave feedback!

The Smart board slides take you through the lesson. Our children were learning about pilgrimage across religions and didn't know a lot about Islam but managed to understand the key concepts. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK. They enjoyed watching the 2nd video and I made the questions seem like a quiz and challenged them to get them all right. I had to pause the video a few times though! There is a question sheet and then some pictures for them to copy. In the next lesson I would recap and get them to write about it.

We do 'Surprise Writes&' in my school on Fridays, once every half term (usually we do &';Big Write'), where all year groups (Year 3 to 6) complete the same writing activity. The children and teachers do not know what it will be until that morning. This resource links to a TES video story start and there is a link on here. The children LOVED creating spooky stories from this! The idea is that they have very little help when they write so that it can be assessed.

Here is a Smartboard lesson explaining how to calculate division on a numberline with sums for them to calculate. There are 2 levels of difficulty. Please leave feedback!

My 'Book Factor&' reading competition works best when it is whole school but individual teachers can also run it in their own classroom. Here is everything you need to start it straight away. There is a word doc that explains it all. It really does motivate children to read at home! PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

Follow the slides to take you through this complete lesson. The children will need whiteboards. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! Children will have previously been taught division as 'sharing&' before they move on to calculating it this way.

The children can all have the same grid. See grid sheet for instructions. A fun way to help children to remember what multiples of 2 end in. Could be part of a starter or quick recap.

This links to my other resources on Big Spellings-please see these for more info.

I used this homework with a year 5 group. The children had to think of four word problems related to Minecraft, Diary of a Wimpy Kid etc.Talk through some examples with them. When you get the homework back choose the ones that are clear and make sense to photocopy for their next homework. They were actually enthusiastic about this homework! Please leave feedback.

This teaches children how to write 'spine' poems which I learned how to do on a Pie Corbett course. The Smart board explains exactly how to structure it and once you know how to write a spine poem it can be used to describe most things including animal and insects etc. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! I have included pictures of the scare crows to print out and stick in their books with the poem.

PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK! The children are given a net of a cube separated in two parts and they have to work out the different ways to stick the two parts together so that the two pieces make a cube when folded. It works well when the children work in pairs. There is another activity in case any of them solve it quickly, but it look them longer than I thought so you might not need the second activity. There is a link of the smart board slides to the activity and the sheets you will need, which are from the nrich maths website. Please leave feedback!

There are two levels of work and a plan. There is a Smart board too but you don't need it. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!The children draw a true/false chart in their books and have to cut and work out which reasons are true and which are false. Ask them to let you check whether they are correct before sticking down.

Children work in groups of 3 with one worksheet to record ideas. Rotate the pictures round, one for each group. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!I had a replica coin and necklace as well. The children have to guess what they were for-some are easier that others. Use the Smartboard to reveal what the pictures are of at the end.

The children will need to learn about concrete and abstract nouns first. They have ten sentences and have to underline all the nouns. There is an answer sheet.

This Smartboard was designed for the whole junior school to use as the end of term writing assessment. You will need to colour photocopy different STORY scenes and I have included the list of picture books I took mine from in the SB. This was a chance for the children to show off their writing. If you don't know what ISPACE is, it is an excellent tool to use to teach children to vary their sentence structure. (look it up on the net!) PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

In this lesson there is a link to a really good song about square numbers and I have put the song words on here. The Venn sheet comes from the nrich website and there is a link on here too. The categories on the Venn are square numbers and odd. The lesson includes a starter and plenary. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

Use the Smart board to take you through explaining the four games. Use the web link to download the free games: Pig, Boxes, Thirty up and Four Star. The idea is that they work strategically and use their knowledge to win! It should be a fun lesson. They can work with different partners. There is a plenary/reflection sheet at the end that can be stuck in their books.PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!
