This worksheet is made up of 2 parts. The first involves filling in the missing information for the table about the 8 planets in our solar system. Children will need to research and find the information using books and/or the internet. Please see the preview for further information about the groups of information required. The second part is a true or false activity with statements that directly relate to the information in the table. This is quite an extensive activity and children will need plenty of time to collate their research and fill it in correctly. It works well as a small group activity (2-3 children). All the answers are included on the second page. I hope you enjoy this resource! If you have a moment, please leave a review. Thank you.

This worksheet contains pictures of all 8 planets in our solar system with their names. The idea is for the children to cut them up and stick them in the correct position in order from the sun. Simple, fun and effective way for children to remember their order. As an additional task they could make up their own mnemonic to help them more easily remember their order. I hope you like this resource! Please leave a review if you have a moment. Thank you.

This document is made up of 40 different cards (4 fact cards for each of the 8 planets in our solar system). Please see the preview for insight on the variety of different facts. Ideally, print on A3 and cut up the cards. The idea is for children to match the facts up to the correct planet. They could also put the planets in order from the sun as an additional task. I find this best suited to groups of 3-4 children so print off enough copies for your class. It works well as a starter to a unit on space but also could be used during or at the end to see how much they have learned. If you can, laminate the cards for future use. I hope your children enjoy this activity! Please leave a review if you’re satisfied.

The Challenge This Code Breaker Challenge is made up of 4 challenge sheets, each containing three sets of questions about multiplication and division. The content is based on the Whiterose topic - Multiplication and Division for Year 3 (Spring Block 1). There is also a final challenge sheet for obtaining the master lock key. The Setup Ideally, the Code Breaker Challenge requires a box which can be locked with four three digit combination locks and one (master) padlock. How to Use Fill the box with treasure, for example some sweets and then setup the combinations on each of the locks and lock the box with them and the master lock. Split the class up into four teams and provide each team with one of the challenge sheets. Start a timer of approximately 30 minutes (depending on the ability and age of your class). Each team works together to solve the challenge and tell the teacher the three digit code. If they get it correct, they may open their lock. If not, then they will need to check their answers. Once all four combination locks have been opened, or even after the first team has finished, provide the master lock challenge. If they complete it correctly and within the time, they can then have the master lock key to open the treasure box. Great Fun! The children absolutely love the Code Breaker Challenge and we repeat it at the end of every major maths unit. They really need to work together and check their work carefully if they are to succeed in opening the box and retrieving the treasure within. The documents is fully editable so you can use it as a template to create your own challenges if you like. You can also use it for other subjects as well, but it definitely lends itself to maths the most. I hope you and your children enjoy it as much as mine do! This challenge is one of many. Please take a look at my shop for other units. Thank you.

This is a short story about a girl called Sarah who finally sends a love letter to the boy she has secretly admired for along time. Words are missing throughout the text and it’s the children’s job to fill in the blanks making sure it’s the correct part of speech (as stated in brackets) and also that it makes sense. There are two copies of the worksheet. The first contains form fields so children can easily click and fill in the blanks in a program such as Microsoft Word. The second version contains lined blanks for children to write on after printing. Mad libs are a great way for children to personalise stories whilst learning about parts of speech and proper grammatical structure. I hope you enjoy the often crazy versions your children come up with! This particular story is interesting as it could go either way for Sarah at the end. Was it worth the risk!?

A four slide presentation containing a variety of pictures and symbols to map out the story of Pie Corbett’s Storm Unicorn. After familiarising themselves with the text, children should be able to re-read the story using only the story map. It makes for an interesting challenge.

We study the Storm Unicorn by Pie Corbett during literacy. Leading up to this we look at other examples before the children write their own (non-chronological) report with the aid of the text. This is a re-write of the Storm Unicorn called the Time Unicorn. Sub-titles have been added in as we encourage the use of them for better organisation. There is also another report by Pie Corbett called the Frost Unicorn which we use in addition to this as another example report text. I also have another re-write in my store called the Candy Unicorn. The document is fully editable so you can change parts as you please.

A fill in the blank exercise for a text about, ‘When I’m Older’. Children enjoy making their own hopes and predictions about what their life will be like in 20 years time.

In this worksheet children can read and learn about our teeth, label a diagram with the four types of teeth; incisors, canines, premolars and molars and fill in the blanks in a text about how teeth change as we grow. The descriptions given about each type of tooth should enable children to look at the structure of teeth in the diagram and label them correctly. For the second part, a fill in the blank exercise, the children should be able to fill it in based on its context. This worksheet is suitable both for online (as a doc in Google Classroom) and offline (as a printout). I hope you also find it useful. If you do, please leave a review!

This worksheet is made up of a short explanation text about the different diets in animals and humans and then a table containing three different animal skulls. Children should read the text and then looking at the skulls, suggest what animal they came from, what diet they think they might have and reasons why they think that. The skulls are a cat skull, a giraffe skull and a gorilla skull. For reasoning, the children should try and relate the structure of the teeth to their function. For example, I think the cat is a carnivore because it has lots of sharp teeth so it can tear, shred and rip meat off the bone. A nice warm-up or follow-up activity to this is to present a variety of other animal skull pictures and see if children can guess what animal they come from.
