This Powerpoint includes task cards and activities to support children to understand the vocabulary of division and the written methods needed to solve division questions. I used these resources with my LA/MA year 5 class, but they could be used or adapted for any KS2 Maths group.

This Powerpoint includes task cards, word problems and homework activities to support children to understand the vocabulary of addition and subtraction and the written methods needed to solve addition and subtraction questions and problems. I used these resources with my LA/MA year 5 class, but they could be used or adapted for any KS2 Maths group. The word problems contain references to Harry Potter and Peter Pan (and internet images from the films), as we were studying those texts at the time and I wanted cross- curricular links, but they could be adapted for any topic you are studying.

This PowerPoint includes definitions and examples of the different types of adverbial phrases, as well as Grammar and writing activities to consolidate children's understanding and encourage them to use adverbial phrases to build and up-level detail in their description. The activities have been split into two sessions - 1) understanding and identifying adverbial phrases and 2) using the different types of adverbial phrases to build sentences and to up-level description - but they can be used for an extended lesson. Each writing activity includes answers or modelled examples to use. I used these resources with an HA group in year 5 who were writing a setting description of a factory during the Industrial Revolution, but they could be used for writing and up- levelling any narrative description and for any KS2 or lower KS3 group.

This PowerPoint includes: Seating plan templates, Display posters for Literacy and reading areas (including a range of non- fiction text types and poetic terms), Posters with assessment targets for Reading, Writing and Maths, Editable tray labels, Tables to record monitors and table points, Classroom rules for behaviour, Display posters and skills tips for an ICT/ Computing area Prompt cards with useful websites to support Maths, Reading and Spelling I have been using it and building it up over a few years now and I hope you find it useful too.

This WWII- related unit is based around a scenario in which a V.C medal has been stolen from the Imperial War Museum. Pupils become detectives in order to investigate the case (studying suspect photos, analysing evidence pictures and interviewing staff in role) and write newspaper articles about their suspicions.

I have used these resources with groups of Key Stage 2 pupils of lower, higher and mixed ability, but they can also be used with Key Stage 1 pupils as they begin to learn their multiplication tables. They are activity/ quiz sheets with 20 multiplication questions - 12 about a particular times table and 8 ‘bonus’ questions from other times tables. The activity sheets can be used for: Times table revision Times table tests – with children working through the different times tables each week. They could even be awarded certificates if they achieve 20/20. Differentiation for more able pupils: Timed multiplication challenges: How many times table Qs can children answer in 1min/ 2min? This is an ideal resource for Year 3 and 4 pupils working towards the future Year 4 multiplication tests!

These week plans were created for a mixed ability year 5 class, whose topic was Space. Their written outcome is an instructional manual for an astronaut. The PowerPoint includes the slides I used with the children, as well as grammar and group activities and task cards for differentiated writing activities.

These slides are task cards to brief and instruct groups to design and market a new chocolate product for a fictional company: Thornbury's. Pupils will need to work together to create the packaging for their product, a promotional billboard advert and a persuasive press release. They also need to plan a professional presentation of their ideas. I gave groups a week to prepare and their results were fantastic! They were fully engaged and their presentations were very impressive: some groups arrived with leaflets and stickers to give out, boxes for their products (exhibiting their Maths skills) and even samples to taste! I used this with year 7 pupils, but it would be fantastic revision of non- fiction text types for year 5 and 6 too!
