This is a sunflower growing diary I created for a Year 1 class, but it would also suit Year 2 pupils. My class planted sunflowers in pots in school, which they then took home, along with the diary booklets. They completed one page each week, drawing, measuring and describing the changes in their sunflower each weekend for their homework over a half term, before returning the booklets and sunflowers to school during the last week of term.

Three differentiated versions of a digital time worksheet with a superhero theme. For each time there is a picture of a superhero doing an everyday chore (e.g. Batman brushing his teeth, Spiderman grocery shopping) and the time next to it in word form.

Three differentiated versions - o'clock times / o'clock & half past times / o'clock, half past, quarter past & quarter to times.

Differentiated worksheets for Year 1 or 2 for practising digital times. Pupils complete digital clock times to match with the written times that the pirates need to do all their chores on the ship (scrub the decks, stack cannonballs, clean the cannon, feed the parrot, hoist the sail, drop the anchor - Yes my Y1 class is doing a pirates topic!). Worksheet 1 - o'clock Worksheet 2 - o'clock + half past Worksheet 3 - o'clock, half past, quarter to + quarter past The second set is similar but as a follow-up to the first set pupils have to write times on both analogue and digital clocks.

Pupils use the grid to draw an island, and then have to add a list of things on their map, such as a lake, hotel, beach, etc. Once they have finished creating their island, they need to complete directions for tourists to help them get around their island. Using North, South, East and West pupils have to tell them how to get to and from different places on the map. There are 3 differentiated versions: LA - Have to give simple instructions for 4 different routes. MA - Have to give instructions for 9 different routes. HA - Have to give 9 instructions for different routes, and also have to give some directions for routes with more than one stop (e.g. hotel -> lake -> beach). I printed them out on A3 for my Year 3 class to use, which worked well, but they could be printed A4 too.

Two different versions of a UK map labelling task, where pupils have to find (using an atlas or Google maps) each country of the United Kingdom and label them, and (more able) find and label each of the four capital cities.

Fact file worksheet for Year 3/4.
