A ready-to-print kit for making an A4 piece of decoupage art. The picture is of a horse on a sunset landscape. Involves very fiddly cutting which probably isn’t suitable for younger than Year Four. I strongly recommend doing a mini-project on cutting skills first (I’ve uploaded a Scissor Skills Workbook which is from SparkleBox) and emphasise the importance of precision! A tricky project which produces beautiful pictures with very few resources needed (colour printer, card, scissors, sticky foam squares or blu-tack).

Quick mental addition questions to do as a whole class on the board. I asked the children to work out the answer mentally and write it down on a whiteboard and then show me. The main focus of this activity was to discuss the different ways in which we might reach the same conclusion, e.g. rounding, partitioning etc. Includes seven questions of differing difficulty. Keynote and PowerPoint formats. Suited for a starter or plenary. If you love it, please leave me a review!

This is a resource suitable for an entire lesson in upper KS2.

Activity: A4 half portraits of Henry VIII and his six wives; children to complete the missing half of the portrait. They are differentiated - the easiest ones are almost symmetrical, but to complete the harder ones the children must have some understanding of facial proportions and perspective. Assessment: A4 pictures of Henry VIII and his Six Wives for reference - show these when they have finished their portraits to see what they should have looked like! Used with Year Four and up.

Two different Maths Mats with tools and support for various areas of KS2 Maths, including: Place Value Calculator Mathematical Operations / Inverses Hundred Square Multiplication Grid Clock face with annotations Basic pizza fractions 0-100 number line in two halves Greater than / smaller than symbols with examples Fractions terms Equivalent fractions wall Negative numbers I made this originally for my Year 4 class but I think it could be helpful for other years too. I’ve given one to each child, laminated, with a Literacy Mat on the other side. They could also be blown up and hung as posters in the classroom. You could choose which of the two mats is more appropriate for each child in your class.
