Obviously at school, parents do not have the range of resources that we have at school, like dienes or numicon etc. Here are some ideas to represent tens and ones to help children with place value.

I did this with my first class and it was a little life survival kit. It was nice for them to have. This includes the tag and you just have to get the different things.

This was an introduction lesson to plants. The children needed to name different plants and make observations. There was a video from BBC bitesize that showed the variations in plants. The main activity: ** - Name the plants in the table and make some observations on the plants. *** - choose three plants from the word mat. Cut and stick them onto the three star sheet and make some observations on the plants. Once you have made observations, what is the same and what is different about your chosen plants? Things to consider when observing: colour shape habitat size (leaves, flowers, trunk)

This is a PowerPoint to help children choose a project about if someone is a significant person in History

As part of a project I asked children whether someone is a significant person in History. This is for Stan Lee. There is a list of possible activites and a timeline.

We did a project based around David Waillams. In this activity pack, there is a timeline for children to sort into the right order, as well as an activity list. Most of the resources were found on his website.

For KS1 History, children are required to study a significant person from History from their local area. For my school, one of those people is David Bowie. In this pack, there is: A PowerPoint on his life with an activity. A timeline of his life Pictures for an art activity for children to create their own Bowie outfit.

This is a simple activity for Year 1 to label a tree and a flowering plant. There is an extension activity on there. For this lesson, my challenge is for children to write the life cycle for a chosen plant. There is a resource to support them from ‘The Great Plant Hunt’. Also, there is a song for parts of a plant that my class LOVE!
