This activity was created to support a student with the spellings using both the hard and soft g.

An activity that supports students in understanding the change y into i rules and when to use it. I have used this activity with students who are not confident spellers. It has also been a useful tool for revising the vowels.

This game requires the students to roll dice and make a number using any of the four operations. The aim is to make every number from 1 to 100.

This activity not only supports students in understanding area but also gives them an opportunity to practice and recall multiplication facts. (Students may also find the perimeter). The activity can be completed by an individual student although my students enjoy playing it together as a game to see who has the largest area (or perimeter) after 6 throws of the dice. As an extension to the activity, use a blank dice and write larger numbers on it e.g 7, 8 9.

I have used this activity to encourage the individual students that I tutor to use descriptive language in their writing. The frame asks the student to write a simile for snowflakes which they can then use to create a metaphor. I found that the activity supports the student in understanding and using both similes and metaphors. Once the poem frame is completed the student selects the best similes and metaphors to create their own poem. The activity includes examples of similes and the corresponding metaphor. T his activity can be completed as an independent and group activity.

I created this activity for an individual student to complete using their weekly spelling. The student enjoyed the activity as it was a way of learning the words in a more enjoyable, focused way then just copying them out. This activity could also be used as an independent or group learning activity.

For this activity the student is required to complete the sentences using words in the text box. i created for an individual student but he activity could be used as a guided reading activity.

A writing prompt that includes a useful editing strategy for students to develop their writing skills.

The writing prompt gives the student the option of writing a story about their flying shoes or creating an advert to promote their flying shoes. Some of my students actually completed both activities.

The aim of this game is to get three in a line, much like the traditional noughts and crosses game. The difference is that the grid has multiplication sums which must be answered correctly so that the player to mark that square as theirs, either with a x or a o. The grid focuses on the 7x table, however, the the blank grid can be used to add your own multiplication sums so that you can practise your target multiplication table or tables.

This resource is a great way to give students practice at the multiplication tables. The activity uses the square numbers and the trickier tables such as seven times. After breaking the code the students are also challenged to create their own codes and puzzles to crack.

A fun activity in which students enter calculations onto a calculator. When the answer is turned upside down a word is revealed. I have completed this activity with the students that I tutor and it has supported them in becoming familiar with using a calculator. they have also enjoyed the challenged of finding the calculations to create their own words.

A visual prompt to support students to type quicker and more effectively using both hands and all their fingers. I have used this successfully with the individual students that I teach. In fact, my husband saw a copy of this resource and wanted a copy for himself so that he can improve his typing.

This activity focuses on the tour of Dippy the Diplodocus, the famous Natural History Museum dinosaur. The students use their persuasive writing techniques to create a poster promoting the tour and to write a letter to the natural Museum persuading them to let Dippy visit their home town.

This activity includes facts about mammoths to support the students in writing about mammoths. (An opportunity to research mammoths will further support them). They are given a choice of writing a story or a report. They are encouraged to edit their writing focusing on using varied sentence starters.

This netball theme spelling activity was designed for a student (year 5) who plays netball and was thrilled by the GB team’s gold at the Commonwealth Games.

I created this resource for individual students who were not confident with the 12 times table. This colour by number activity has proven a popular way to practise and become familiar with the 12 times table and could be used for individual or group learning. There is also a template so that you or the students can designed their own puzzle using a specific times table.

I created this resource after an assessment type question on the use of maybe and may be confused several of my students. It gives an explanation and an example for both maybe and may be before asking the students to underline the correct use of the word in a sentence.

I have memories of completing this activity at school - we would use a template or draw our own axis to draw straight lines to matching the numbers. (In the example, I used 1 to 1 but the blank template can be adapted to use any times table eg; 1 to 4, 2 to 8). The third activity is based around a circle template and initially the students draw a line to every fifth number before being encouraged to experiment with other numbers to make a variety of impressive shapes. As a child we used to do this activity using card and embroidery thread and create pictures using 'curved stitching'. The activity is also useful for developing fine motor skills.

I created this activity to support a student with recognising and understanding square and prime numbers; it encourages the student to reflect on their learning and to explain their reasoning with me.  It has proven to be popular with other students too.  The colouring is beneficial to the development of fine motor skills.  The student can also cut out the completed tree which in turn can be used as part of a display.  I have also included a tree template so that you can design your own tree puzzle. My students also like to use the tree template to design their own puzzles too.
