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

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.

48 matching prefix cards. 24 of the cards have prefixes on and the other 24 have the root words which can be matched with them. All words/prefixes are taken from the National Curriculum statutory spelling requirements for years 3/4. Prefixes included are: Un- Dis- Inter- Auto- Mis- Super- Sub- Re-

I created this to use with my class during a lesson on fractions. I wanted them to identify fractions and order fractions in ascending order but wanted to create a way for them to do this which had meaning and was exciting. Therefore, I provided each pair of children with a bag of skittles which they then used to complete the worksheet. The children found this extremely engaging! This lesson meets the following statutory requirements from the National Curriculum: Year 3 Pupils should be taught to: count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10 recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole [for example, 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7 ] compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominators solve problems that involve all of the above Year 4 Pupils should be taught to: recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by 100 and dividing tenths by 10 solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non-unit fractions where the answer is a whole number add and subtract fractions with the same denominator recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundreds recognise and write decimal equivalents to 1/4 , 1/2 , 3/4 find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths round decimals with 1 decimal place to the nearest whole number compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to 2 decimal places solve simple measure and money problems involving fractions and decimals to 2 decimal places

This resource is intended to be used to help teach the skills of the KS2 National Curriculum for Reading through 11 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 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 3 week writing and science project on minibeasts. This pack includes a PowerPoint which covers every lesson, an activity booklet and a writing inspiration booklet. This project covers: Teaching information and resources about minibeats/invertebrates A minibeast hunting activity with techniques, identification sheets, recording sheets Teaching resources and an observation activity on food chains: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores Teaching resources and an activity on minibeast habitats An investigation into minibeasts’ legs Inspiration and guidance on how to make a minibeast hotel Inspiration and guidance on how to make a mini-pond Inspiration and guidance on how to go pond-dipping Inspiration and guidance on how to make a pitfall trap Inspiration and guidance on how to make a potato trap Teaching videos about minibeasts A series of lessons on classification keys Inspiration and guidance on how to make a minibeast field guild Children will end the project by creating their own minibeast field guide

Design a zoo whilst learning about area and perimeter. I have an online teaching video to go alongside this resource where I teach the children everything they need to know. This pack includes everything you need to teach area and perimeter and for the children to complete an independent activity where they design their own zoo using their new knowledge of area and perimeter. It includes: A zoo themed booklet (missing illustrations as I painted them on but leaves space for yourself or children to add your own designs) The instructions Teaching support A list of enclosures with their price and enclosure size in metre squared A zoo planning design sheet An area and perimeter application activity 5 further activities to develop their learning further A teaching video below which explains everything you need to know! TES will no longer let me post my YouTube link for the teaching video which goes alongside this resource. However, if you go onto YouTube and search, ‘Let’s design a zoo! Area and perimeter with Miss Cole’ you should find it :) This is, by far, my class’s favourite maths project!

The questions to go alongside the video of me reading chapter 1 of A Series of Unfortunate Events. Perfect for working on comprehension.

The questions to go alongside the video of me reading chapters 1 and 2 of Lady Lollipop. Perfect for working on comprehension.

A very interactive writing/science project for children aged 5+. Throughout the project the children work on their fieldcraft and learn how to take field notes before designing and making their very own British Bird Field Guide. The children absolutely loved this project! TES are no longer letting us post links onto our resources so I am no longer able to add the direct link to take you to my teaching video for this resource. However, if you go onto YouTube and search, The British Bird Project with Miss Cole’ the video should come up :) Enjoy!
