Converting units of measurement matching pairs - Length - Year 5
This is a matching pairs game checking knowledge of units of length - mm, cm, m and km. The children have to find and match the pairs of measurements.
Converting miles to kilometres - an introduction.
This resource has a set of cars with conversions between miles and kilometres that you can print out and can be stuck in books as reminders. There is also a quick check set of 5 questions with answers. This resource works well with converting units of measurements miles to kilometres game and the converting miles to km PPT. I have put these into a bundle and used them as a whole lesson.

Converting miles to kilometres bundle
Instructions
Use these resources to teach your class about converting from miles to kilometres.
Print, cut out and laminate the conversion matching cards. You can attach these to lolly sticks if you like. Keep the miles cards and hide the kilometre cards around the class or yard.
Give the children a little Porsche each with reminders about converting miles and kilometres, and they can stick it in their book.
Then show the children the ‘Converting miles to kilometres’ Powerpoint and help them to convert the measures.
After this, give the children the 5 quick check questions which they answer on the sheet and stick in their book.
If they understand how to convert, then give them the miles to km table to stick in their book, or have on a clip board. Also, give the group the miles cards. They must look at the miles and convert it to km, then run and find the card which matches their answer. They continue with this until they have all of the cards matched up. Then they check with the teacher and mark their answers.
I hope that your class have fun with this activity—my class really enjoy active Maths sessions.

Winter reading challenge for holidays
This reading challenge could be undertaken by children of any age. I have taught in Key Stage 2 for 22 years. The children choose 10 different reading activities to achieve over the holidays, they can even make up their own. When they have achieved each task, they cut out the relevant snowman and stick him on the wintry scene. When they return to school after the holiday, they are rewarded for their hard work.
I have been using reading challenges for the past 4 years in my class, with great success. They give a real purpose for reading. We have a school reward and a treat such as hot chocolate with marshmallows and squirty cream. It works well!
We also have a Spring Challenge in the Easter Holidays and a Summer Challenge given to my next class to complete before coming into my class in September.
