This interactive Space display idea (kind of a lesson in a display) for Year 5 comes with an editable ppt for printing. The display is focused on the question ‘How far is each planet from the sun?’
Learners will first select the 8 planets from a basket (these were to-scale painted styrofoam/polystyrene balls that the Year 5s created). Each planet has velcro stuck to the reverse.
Then they will then use the scale and a ruler to estimate where each planet will go on the velcro strip stretching from the sun to the end of the display board. (The sun was made out of yellow paper for the purposes of display, and the scale can be edited on the ppt).
Next, they will place the planet labels on the velcro strip underneath the planets.
Using an tablet or other device, learners will then scan the QR code to get the answers. An example QR code has been provided on the ppt, and an edited answer table on slide 7.
Following on from that (and dependent on your schools technology policy), the children were then required to take a picture, upload it to Padlet and answer the question ‘what suprised you?’
Finally, they would return all the equipment back to the start for the next users.
Rubric to support KS3/KS4 PETAL (Point, evidence, technique, analysis, link) writing on effect and emotive language in text analysis. The link is made back to readers emotions.
Can be adapted to support link back to question where needed.
The attached documents formed part of a video project for Year 5 history. Learners had to research one of the mistakes in the infographic, then complete the planning sheet and use green screen technology to produce a video. The rubric is also included.
This is a full unit with video and worksheet links, for a unit titled ‘How does our Culture and Community affect our Wellbeing?’

This activity was originally created for Google Classroom, using an article from First News. However, it is fully editable to be used in class with child friendly magazines.
Included in this resource is a fully editable activity, as well as associated rubric.
Introduce making inferences to upper KS2, with this engaging and interactive lesson.
In this fully editable presentation, have fun adding pictures of teacher’s shoes. Then, use the editable activity 1 to get students engaged in inferencing (this can be used in small groups).
Once activity 1 has your class begging to find out more about inferencing, you can use activity 2 (suggested to print on A3) for students to practice their skills. A rubric is provided for assessment.
Enjoy!

5 Book Week activities for use with Save Me a Seat by Gita Varadarajan and Sarah Weeks, originally created for P5. These activities were used in English, PSHE and Geography lessons throughout the week. However, we also made candy houses to integrate our Science topic of Structures and Forces.

Made for use in Google Slides with P5 learners, this lesson allows students to understand the impact of religion on the individual, community and society.
It will start by exploring the subtle differences between community and society, before asking learners to identify the communities and societies they belong too.
Learners will then explore ‘what is a worldview?’ and decide what impacts their own worldview. Culminating in a creation of their own worldview stories.
Finally, students will look at worldviews from the perspective of different religions, and explore their impact on the individual, community and society.
Resources have been adapted for P5, with some options for differentiation. The download will be in ppt format, however can easily be uploaded to Google Drive for use as an interactive lesson.
Some resources are adapted from RE:Online.
This activity provides a good introduction to formulae for KS3 students, meeting the following objectives from the mathematics curriculum:
Use and interpret algebraic notation
Substitute numerical values into formulae and expressions
Understand and use standard mathematical formulae
Model situations or procedures by translating them into algebraic expressions or formulae
This activity is aimed at HA Year 6/KS3 pupils. It covers the below areas in the new mathematics Year 6 programme of study:
Multiply multi-digit numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long multiplication
Multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1,000 giving answers up to 3 decimal places
Aswell as solving problems involving percentages, this resource also contains a useful page on the long multiplication of numbers to 2 decimal places by 2 digit whole numbers.
This activity was used with a HA Year 5 group who found time challenging. It was used with support however may be used as an independent activity for those HA Year 6. The worksheet has been designed with practice paper questions in mind. Topics covered in the activity are:
- Units of Time - Written Methods for Adding, Subtracting and Finding the difference.
- 24 hour clock - Saying time
This Self Awareness Activity allows students to think about how their feelings contribute to their own actions, and how this may affect the people around them. This indirectly links to the following objectives from the Citizenship Programme of Study:
KS3
- the ways in which citizens work together to improve their communities
KS4
- the different ways in which a citizen can contribute to the improvement of their community
However most importantly, it equips students with the skills to effectively manage their feelings and emotions. Which in turn will allow them to contribute to the betterment of their community, and become successful and happy members of society.
