The fact file includes a brief introduction before focusing on the different parts of the plant and the role they have. This includes roots, the stem, leaves, flowers and fruit.
The resource includes:
A fact file about parts of a plant mentioned above (both in colour and black and white for ink saving purposes)
3 different comprehension activities of differing challenge - answers are included for these
A vocabulary activity that requires definitions to be found for each word provided.
A fully resourced lesson focusing on numbers up to ten million (10,000,000), based on the Year 6 WRM objective as part of the place value unit.
Lesson PowerPoint
Independent activity
Challenge questions
Scaffolded activity
Place value grid
Included is a lesson PowerPoint which includes a starter, key vocabulary and opportunities for modelling, discussion and guided practice. There are notes included to point out on some of the slides what the focus of the question is and potential misconception it is trying to address.
This is followed by an independent activity that links to the lesson, giving children the opportunity to apply their learning, including identifying the value of numbers, identifying the value of digits and being able to partition numbers. This is followed up with four problem solving and reasoning style questions to deepen understanding, with answers included for all.
For children who need additional support or scaffolding, there is an activity that focuses on numbers to 1,000,000 to then support pupils in building up to the main activity.
There is also a place value grid included to support pupils.
Two fully resourced lessons that focus on being able to convert between cm and mm and between cm and m. The lesson presentation focuses on a range of questions and building understanding as well as guided practise questions for children to practise what they are learning. This is followed by one of two sheets based on confidence (answers included) before a final challenge question on the lesson presentation.
A fully resourced lesson that focuses on being able to recognise shapes can have the same area but different perimeter and vice versa (using quadrilaterals as a focus). The lesson presentation focuses on a range of questions and building understanding as well as guided practise questions for children to practise what they are learning. This is followed by worksheets based on confidence (answers included) before a final thought question on the lesson presentation.
A fully resourced lesson that focuses on being able to convert between fractions, decimals and percentages. The lesson presentation focuses on a range of questions and building understanding as well as guided practise questions for children to practise what they are learning.

A lesson that focuses on being able to use colons and semi-colons in a list. There are some examples before different questions that work on applying what they have learnt with challenge questions to justify their responses. This is then followed by an activity that works on applying these rules as well as a green bubble challenge to then create their own written examples to support the transition to independent writing.
A double lesson that focuses on being able to calculate perimeter with Year 3. included in the PowerPoint are arithmetic starters for each lesson that recap key calculation skills as well as the lesson itself.
