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.

A sheet with key grammatical terms (select terms rather than all) that may come up in the KS2 GPS test that children can use to remember them. Included is a definition and some examples of these to try and support understanding.
An arithmetic style lesson that focuses on being able to add and subtract fractions. The lesson begins with six starter questions involving the use of the 5x table before moving on to focussing on fractions. There are examples and practice questions for same denominator and denominators that are linked before a variation question where the denominators aren’t a common multiple. Slides include pink bubbles for support and green bubbles for challenge. This then leads on to the activity with answers provided and two challenge activities should they be required.
The KS2 Arithmetic paper for 2017 completed with all the answers being wrong. The aim is then for children to work through and identify mistakes/ what the correct answer is. Many of these are based on misconceptions or silly mistakes that children make.
A PowerPoint that focuses on a previous SATs question where children were asked to work out a ml and l conversion and calculate from the jug what would be left. The presentation focuses on solving the question before working through other examples to practice and apply the method.
A PowerPoint that focuses on a previous SATs question where children were asked to work out the value of w from what information is given. The presentation focuses on solving the question before working through other examples to practice and apply the method.
A brief PowerPoint that can be used as part of a bigger revision session that focuses on Roman Numerals. Included are some starter questions to recap before identifying the numerals and the rules. This is then followed by practice questions and the example question from the 2017 reasoning paper where there was a numeral question.
A PowerPoint and activity that can be used as a revision lesson for angles of triangles and quadrilaterals. The PowerPoint recaps aspects of angles before practising with the focus shapes before setting children off on the activity.
If required, they could work through a practice sheet for calculating missing angles before moving onto the provided activity that includes questions from White Rose and previous SATs questions.
A brief PowerPoint that can be used as part of a bigger revision session that focuses on fractions and decimals, predominantly with converting them. Where there are questions with bubbles, these are for children to answer. Previous SATs questions with no bubbles are then to explain and look at as a class before applying that to practice questions.
40 different questions for Chapter Seventeen of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl that test a range of skills. These can be used for guided reading sessions or to give children as activities to support guided reading sessions/ whole class reading comprehensions. The questions follow the order of the chapter but don't have answers attached as the answers can vary depending on the child's opinion.
The song lyrics for ‘Rewrite the Stars’ from The Greatest Showman with four different comprehension activities. Each of the activities matches up to one or more of the VIPERS skills with the activities potentially providing four reading lessons from the song.
The fourth comprehension may be better used after watching the video so that children who may not have seen the film are able to appreciate the views of the era.
Some challenges linked to the fastest goals in Premier League history where children have to calculate time differences by calculating with decimal numbers.
Two lessons that can be used as introductions or as revision for subject and object and active and passive. The lessons link together with one following on from the other.
Included is:
A lesson that focuses on being able to identify the subject and object of a sentence. Included is the lesson presentation which includes challenge questions and a variation style question as well as an activity for children to work through and an exit task taken from a previous KS2 GPS test on identifying the subject of the sentence.
A lesson that focuses on active and passive. Included is the PowerPoint with some key recap elements before working on active and passive. This will include identifying the difference, identifying subject, object and verb and changing sentences into active or passive. Also included are green challenge bubbles for children who finish the tasks whilst others are working on them. There is then an activity for children to work through and an exit question taken from a KS2 GPS test.
An activity that challenges the understanding of the 7x table by manipulating what they multiply by so it either goes up in multiples of 7 or shows a pattern from what they have.
A lesson presentation that focuses on the objective for making one from the Year 4 WRM Summer Decimals scheme. Within the PowerPoint are different examples to work through/ check understanding. There is also an arithmetic starter covering some of the Year 4 objectives as well as pink and green bubbles to support and challenge pupils.
A lesson for Year 6 Living Things that gets children to practise being able to classify living things into different groups by learning about the Linnaean System of Classification. Included are all the resources required for the lesson including the plan, presentation and activity sheets for children to use. The question sheets are to trim down to then stick in children's books for them to write the answer next to.
Included are two lessons that get children to work classifying living things.
Included:
An introductory lesson for Year 6 Living Things that gets children to practise being able to classify animals into different groups. Included are all the resources required for the lesson including the plan, presentation and activity sheets for children to use.
A lesson for Year 6 Living Things that gets children to practise being able to classify living things into different groups by learning about the Linnaean System of Classification. Included are all the resources required for the lesson including the plan, presentation and activity sheets for children to use. The question sheets are to trim down to then stick in children's books for them to write the answer next to.
A fact file/ knowledge organiser that can be stuck in children's books when doing the persuasive genre in writing or for a help sheet if they are writing a persuasive text in a foundation subject.
A sequence of lessons based on the closing sequence from The Greatest Showman. Included is a PowerPoint that goes through the lessons (not a set lesson but more of a fluid sequence) including tasks and examples of writing with all the supporting resources for the tasks. The writing outcome is based on the first half of the video link given to create three to four paragraphs of writing.
Made with Year 6 in mind but easily adaptable to other year groups.
