I use these in writing lessons to help children peer assess each other on each strand of VCOP. Children are them prompted to provide a next step for their learning partner.

Print and laminate these role cards to help guide you pupils facilitate effective discussions with peers. Based on the Oracy framework, these cards each relate to a role the child can take in the discussion, providing useful sentence stems to help structure conversation.

A worksheet to help children utilise their research skills to find out some key facts about some of the many artefacts found at Skara Brae. I had my class find out what the items were made of as a priority, plus any other details they might find.

A spin on the classic beetle drive game. Children take it in turns rolling a dice until they have successfully built or drawn their snowman. You can either ask children to get a 1 (the body) as their first piece (making it a bit more challenging!), or you can have them get any item to start building. The winner of the game is the one you completes a full snowman first. I have included the main sheet for the game, as well as different parts of the snowman that can be cut and laminated if children would prefer to physically build their snowmen.

Some activities to help children explore and understand rotational symmetry with familiar 2D shapes. Included in this resource is: Rotational Symmetry Worksheet featuring 2 circle protractors and a grid for children to complete the shape name, angle of rotation and order of rotational. Children will also need the Rotational Shapes Sheet to cut out and attach to their protractors with a split pin. We used black shapes and glued these to the sheets before using a coloured set to rotate on the pin. These sheets are available in white, black and coloured. If you don’t want to print these, children could trace around a set of shapes you have in the classroom. Children rotate the shape to measure the angle of rotation and work out how many rotations can be completed to bring the shape to its original position. To follow this, is the Blank Circle Template, which children can use to create their own circular rotational pattern.
