I currently work at the top end of Primary school in Year 5/6. I create resources for a range of subjects and am always open to suggestions for resources people require.

Included within this are tips for writing scientifically, looking at what needs to be included as well as a model example of a conclusion and what makes it good.
Lesson One - The history of electricity - Reading Comprehension with answers included
Lesson Two - Staying safe with electricity
Lesson Three - What make good conductors
Lesson Four - Circuits and symbols
Lessons Five and Six - Conducting an experiment into variations in how components function
During the unit of planning children will get to work on different skills including practising their reading comprehension, creating posters and writing scientifically.
A 24 day Advent Calendar that looks at 24 different countries and whether they celebrate Christmas/ how they celebrate Christmas. The PowerPoint is hyperlinked up so that you can jump to the correct day from the main page with a bauble that then takes you back to the home page.
Complete set of planning, slides and worksheets to provide 10 lessons on area, perimeter and volume. This has been written with Year 6 in mind but the resources are easily adaptable for other year groups.
The worksheets have written with mastery in mind and so follow the following structure:
Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA)
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA)
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA)
Worksheet Four - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (This is a spare worksheet should children finish problem solving on worksheet three)
All worksheets include answers except for the variables lesson as answers vary too much.
Differentiation is achieved through self-assessment of own abilities to choose which worksheet they do.
Lesson 1 and 2 - Perimeter
Lesson 3 and 4 - Area of quadrilaterals
Lesson 5 and 6 - Area of triangles
Lesson 7 and 8 - Same area, different perimeter and vice versa
Lesson 9 and 10 - Volume
These have had great success in previous lessons and challenge and stretch children of all abilities.
Also included is a mixed perimeter and area worksheet.
80 different questions for Chapter One of Billionaire Boy. These can be used for guided reading sessions or to give children as activities. To support guided reading sessions, all questions have the relevant page numbers (paperback) and answers at the end.
N.B. You will need to provide the text itself.
A range of English resources available to help teach different aspects in Years 5 and 6. These include fully planned topics of writing genres with resources and teaching slides included, reading comprehension activities, grammar activities and different word mats and self-assessment grids to help children.
A powerpoint that looks at both metaphors and similes. This identifies what they are and how they can be used in different ways. These are backed up with examples of metaphors and similes in use and also include activities to do with children finishing sentences are writing their own sentences that involve similes or metaphors, as well as identifying whether sentences are a simile or metaphor.
A powerpoint that can be used for teaching about commas. It focuses on commas for lists and commas for different clauses, showing examples of how they can be used as well as having tasks that children can complete to check their understanding.
112 page Powerpoint that introduces the continent of Europe to children.
Within the powerpoint, Europe is split into six different zones, introducing every country in Europe. Included are the flags for every country, the capital city and currency for each country as well as two to three facts for every country in Europe.
Useful for introducing Europe or countries within Europe as well as being able to create a factfile using the slides.
56 different questions for Chapter Two of Billionaire Boy. These can be used for guided reading sessions or to give children as activities. To support guided reading sessions, all questions have the relevant page numbers (paperback) and answers at the end.
N.B. You will need to provide the text itself.
A mixed reading comprehension bundle that has a range of reading comprehensions that work on building understanding/ improving knowledge about particular facts.
A range of Maths topics covered in this extensive planning bundle. Each one includes planning and worksheets to teach a unit of lessons. This so far includes 159 lessons and will have more units added.
Worksheets are differentiated three ways with a mastery aim running throughout. Having used a similar format in my own lessons, these sheets often provide enough challenge for two days lessons, with children taking on the easier work then moving on to harder challenges within the other sheets.
These have all been made with mastery in mind and so follow this pattern.
Worksheet One - Works on practise and fluency (LA)
Worksheet Two - Practise, fluency and reasoning (MA)
Worksheet Three - Practise, fluency, reasoning and problem solving (HA)
A comprehensive set of resources for anyone to be able to teach a block on writing discussion texts. Planned for Year 5 but very easily adaptable to Year 4 or Year 6.
Included are:
Full lesson plans for 12-14 lessons, with differentiated activities for children.
IWB slides for every lesson that go step by step through the lesson. (N.B. In the shared writing sessions, the example paragraphs just need playing around with to a new topic. Whilst I could have done these, it is more powerful to do them with the class at the time)
Resource sheets required for lessons.
Word banks for children to use (in the IWB slides for powerful adjectives).
A self-assessment/ teacher assessment marking sheet that helps children assess as they write and can then be used for a simple marking sheet to pick out positives and targets for children.
A powerpoint that looks at how the new SATs will work, comparing this to previous levels and looking at scaled scores. It also includes all the key dates, some of the changes and example questions from each paper taken from the sample papers.

Attached are moderation grids for the interim statements (recently released 2016-2017) for Writing, Science and Maths. This includes working below and greater depth for writing and can be used as a simple tick box exercise. Whilst they include many potential tick boxes, these are in no way how many pieces of evidence you require.
An activity made for the start of the new school year.
This activity acts as an ice breaker, giving children the chance to talk to one another and get to know each other more. Included are 25 statements that children have to find someone else to match to. Some statements are more common events e.g. made a snowman whilst some are more specific e.g. been to France. At the end, it can then be used as a class discussion to see who has done what and also pick out more details for certain events.
Attached is a version of a potential calculation policy that people can use for ideas to help in developing their own. Each year group is broken down in to the 4 operations, identifying mental and written methods and linking to other strands in the curriculum.
Written methods are kept to a minimum to ensure children become 'experts' in that method and to ensure consistency throughout teaching.
A British History quiz that includes 20 questions about British history, including a range of topics and spanning over 1000 years. Also included is a bonus round worth up to an extra 23 points.
This is useful for some end of term fun or as a general quiz to check children's general knowledge of British history and can be done individually or in teams.
