Multiplication challenge sheet which I use as a starter once a week in Year 3. Chn have to answer all questions correctly in three mins to move onto the next challenge/multiplication table. I also get the chn to peer mark this activity. Edit for your preferred table by using Ctrl and F, and replace the ‘z&’ with your chosen table. Can also add additional lines to tables or shorten the time to add challenge higher in KS2.

I used these grids when I was training in a year 5 class and again in year 6. The children loved the challenge and the progression onto the next level. As the children became more and more fluent, I introduced time limits or delayed starts for the more able children. Please feel free to leave any feedback. Thanks!

Year 3 Science - Food and Our Bodies All planning and resources for a half term of science. We used the Rising Stars planning as a basis but this is our own school's fomat of lesson planning. Our school has a focus on pre-assessing the children and reducing the number of worksheets used. We use stickers to print LOs and plenary questions onto, however you could put these on paper for children to stick into their workbooks.
