A fantastic and engaging game that my class love. Simply give each child a card and get them to walk around the classroom. When they meet another child, they should high five them and say, “Quiz, quiz, trade.” Each child then asks the other child their question, when they both give the correct answers, they can trade cards and then continue to move around until they meet somebody else. If a child gets the answer one, a child can help support them by prompting/giving clues as they have the correct answer on their card. My class absolutely love this game and don’t realise just how much they’re learning when they play it!

This resource is intended to be used to help teach the skills of the KS2 National Curriculum for Reading through a term’s worth of guided reading sessions. Included in the pack: • Questions which focus on vocabulary, retrieval, inference, predictions, author intent, author technique and giving explanations for answers using evidence from the text. • Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Activities/Questions. • Reading and respond to the text activities. This resource has been used with KS2 classes to great effect and has boosted their reading skills and their comprehension scores.

A set of 13 timeline cards which children can order as part of an activity. Each card includes an iconic part of Roman history, alongside its date and an image. Worked brilliantly with my class when teaching Roman chronology. I then followed this activity by getting each child to make their own zig-zag timeline to illustrate what they’ve learnt.

A simple ADHD screener for primary and secondary school pupils. Please note, this screener does not provide a confirmed diagnosis of ADHD but is designed to help professionals/families to identify whether an individual may be presenting with some of the behaviours typical of an individual with ADHD. The results of this screener then may help to evidence a referral for a neurodevelopmental assessment if it is felt this would be necessary. Please note, the questions below are taken from a combination of the following documents: DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria for ADHD, Sheffield NHS Children’s ADHD Assessment, Conners-UK ADHD Screener. This was created by an inclusion coordinator of a multi-academy trust and an experienced SENDCO.

A brilliant whole class activity to practice learning of their 4 times tables.

Children must go on a word hunt (around the classroom or in reading books) to find contractions. They must sort the contractions they find in this grid based on the second word.

An engaging activity where children must find the fractions of amounts to crack the code set by Detective Denominator. I have created three different versions of this to allow for easy differentiation in the classroom. Version A: Finding unit fractions of amounts less than 40. Version B: Finding unit and non-unit fractions of amounts less than 40. Version C: Finding non-unit fractions of amounts less than 90.

An activity where children can apply the learning of adding the suffix -ly.

A resource which helps children to identify which unit of measurement should be used to measure different lengths. The four units of measurements included are: mm, cm, m and km. Children to choose a colour for each unit of measurement and indicate these on the key. They will then use the key to highlight each length according to the unit of measurement they believe should be used to measure each different length. My class enjoyed completing this activity and responded well to the real-life links. Enjoy!

An annual reading tracker to be completed by anyone to track the books read over the year. Simply colour in a book from the stack from the current month and colour it in and label it to look like the spine of the book you’ve just read. A great way to remember the books you’ve enjoyed over time and a great reward strategy for less enthusiastic readers! Enjoy :)

Each child receives a loyalty card with their name on and their own personalised target for their weekly spelling tests e.g. ‘to get at least 10 spellings correct,’ ‘to get full marks.’ (There is an allocated section on the card where each child’s target can be written.)Each time the child then meets their target they can add a sticker to their honeycomb collection on the reverse side of the card. Once they’ve received 6 stickers they receive a prize. (I have a box of small prizes including pencils, rubbers, stickers etc). Whilst the resource motivates children to succeed on their spelling test it also recognises the range of needs in each class and the need for differentiation regarding the words set and their targets. A great reward! My class are extremely driven by it.

It’s really important to discuss the different language used around the different operations. This activity will allow children to discuss and compare the different terminology used for the two operations, addition and subtraction.

A classification activity for children learning about ‘Living Things and their Habitats.’ This resource includes 2 Venn Diagrams (one more complex than the other) and 1 Carroll Diagram. The children can then add their own criteria to the diagrams e.g. has a back bone, lives in the desert and then should use the images (also included) to classify the animals and plants. Children could also draw their own images. This resource is completely ready to go! Enjoy :)

For World Book Day, our school are completing a whole school project of completing a collection of book reviews. Each child will choose their favourite book and will complete an A4 page review. We will be using this PDF as inspiration for the children to give them ideas and to set a standard. This poster also includes ideas for what they could/should include in their review. We’re so excited to put the reviews into a book and to display it in our school library!

A fun activity where children can consolidate their learning and understanding on addition. I have created three differentiated game sheets. Taking it in turns, choose a calculation to complete. Work it out on a whiteboard and if you get the correct answer, you can place a counter over the calculation. The first person to get 4 counters in row horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins. Every child I’ve played this game with have really enjoyed it!

A Knowledge Organiser for the Science topic, Animals, including humans.

Simply edit the names and then print these cards off onto coloured paper of your choice and display as desired. This is a great way to monitor what your children are reading and for them to see which books each other are reading too. I will get the children to stick new post-it notes on top of old ones which will then create a reading-log in itself. Both myself and my TA’s have a card too as we want to join in the fun and the kids love seeing which books we’re reading!

A game which children love and which also helps them to practice their co-ordinates!

The questions to go alongside the video of me reading chapter 1 of The Magic Place. Perfect for working on comprehension whilst home learning!
