Help your students plan their own exciting pirate themed story. This gives the pupil ownership of their story without going too wild with their ideas. It’s like a menu of characters, settings and additional story content that can personalise their adventure. This structure is everything they need to get their ideas moving quickly so they can focus on the writing skills and how they want their story to progress.

This resource provides 24 various and interesting images of settings and a corresponding setting description. The descriptions use interesting vocabulary and should expose children to a wider base of vocabulary too. You can choose whether to display the text or the image (or both at the same time). There are also 25 teaching-related questions at the end of the PowerPoint which help to engage children with the writing techniques as well as give them the opportunity to add more, edit or practise various skills. This is Pack 1.

This differentiated resource provides a range of pyramid addition and subtraction problems for children to solve. It ranges from pyramids which are addition only - starting with adding only 10s, going up to adding 4 digit numbers. Then it provides pyramid problems which require subtraction and addition skills. This starts with numbers smaller than 30 and progresses up to 4 and 5-digit numbers. There are 9 question sheets, 9 answer sheets and 1 blank template so pupils can design their own pyramid problem.

This resource will help anyone trying to check children’s ability to write or spell 2 syllable words, 3 syllable words and common exception words for Year 1 and 2.

There is also a skills based writing mat which can be used to encourage children to look for them to include the Upper Key Stage 2 writing skill objectives. 1 x fact sheet 1 x basic structured sheet 1 x advanced structured sheet 1 x writing mat with skill examples 1 x blank writing skills mat for children to record own examples within their plans.

There are 2 arithmetic tests, aimed at children in Year 5, which contain 20 questions in each test. (The questions are different to any of the other questions on my store.) Additionally, there are reasoning based questions for children to apply their numeracy understanding to. 9 reasoning questions and they are presented in a variety of methods. All answers are included.

This resource provides 24 various and interesting images of settings and a corresponding setting description.

This Word document contains 72 different types of setting descriptions and corresponding images. There are 12 images per page and each setting description tries to use a range of writing techniques (such as listed adjectives, figurative language and adventurous vocabulary). This is great for KS2 or KS3 children (ages 7-14). You can also get this as three separate PowerPoint presentations to display in the classroom.

This resource provides 24 various and interesting images of settings. This is a Word doc that has 3 images and 3 writing boxes per page - to allow pupils to write their descriptions or notes next to the images. This is Pack 2. (Note- These are the same images that are in Pack 2 of the presentation version available on my site.)

This PowerPoint will guide you through how fractions can be represented in various formats. The strategy used in this Powerpoint is, “I do…We do…You do”. This approach means the teacher models a good example and talks through relevant question prompts (notes are included for slides). Then the pupils have a go with the teacher before finally having their own independent go. They repeat this strategy for identifying how to read fractions and then again for how you get a whole. Questions for pupils to do independently are at the end of each section to test understanding. This lesson walkthrough is designed for children working in Year 5 but could be used as a recap in Year 6 or to introduce the topic in Year 4. A corresponding worksheet is available to purchase which relates to these questions - Identifying Fractions.

There are 3 levels of questioning for the children to choose from for each multiplication of either 10, 100 or 1000. Then there are 3 levels of division questions which they can choose how much they answer and at what difficulty. Then another sheet provides reasoning based questions related to multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 & 1000. The lesson is aimed at Year 5 but could be for Years 4, 5 and 6. An answer sheet is provided for every question.

This activity is aimed at Upper KS2 children and gets them to show their understanding of place value by ordering numbers using the greater than, less than and equals sign. Presented on a Powerpoint presentation, this resource provides 3 ability level tasks, aimed at children in Upper KS2, **which are displayed on the board simultaneously which means no/ minimal printing is needed. ** There are slides which explain how to do the tasks and the option of a printable spinner (needed for the middle ability task). Then they move on to a spinner activity where they create their own numbers to order and finally the children needing to show how they could represent the numbers they make using place value counters.

This sheet is best aimed at Year 5 but could be used with any child in Years 4, 5 or 6. The worksheet starts with 2-digit multiplication questions using simpler times tables then progresses in difficulty. It moves on to harder multiples. Then 3 digit multiplication. Questions 16 and 17 require children to use greater than and less than symbols and then Q18 to Q20 are balancing equation questions about multiplication. The sheet is particularly useful as it is written on squared paper so children could write on to the sheet using the correct column method. 1 page plus an answer sheet.

The resource would be useful for any teacher in Upper KS2 who is looking to get children to edit a setting description. It provides a paragraph and then a checklist for the skills they could show to improve it. There are two paragraphs for differentiation. A lower number of skills and a shorter passage to edit. A more age appropriate expected writing passage with more errors to correct and skills to include.
