Hi everyone.
This is a powerpoint that I've tweaked from others I've found with my own work on top.
It includes three 1-hour lessons based on
- celebrations (4th july/thanksgiving)
- founding fathers (who and why)
- constitution (what and why)
enjoy!
11 resources for research on broadway, thanksgiving and 4th july.
Works well in an american topic, for obvious reasons, or celebrations around the world for PSHE or RE.

Hi there,
Here's a big dump of Stone Age related resources. Apologies in advance for the names of the files not being terribly organised, however there are 43 resources that can hopefully save your time!
Included:
diaries
narrative
class assembly
lots of word/sentence starter banks
check lists for writing
front page for topic journals
glossary of terms
persuasion
fact finding sheets
Hi there!
This assembly is 7 pages long and incorporates 22 parts, though there’s enough scope for more narrators to be added in or for children to only have one part as opposed to two.
I like my assemblies to be funny, hence the large amount of humour added in!
There’s audience participation etc.
Any questions, please let me know!
Hello, All!
Here’s the first Tudor resource I’m selling- there’ll be a big pack for sale at the end of this term, but for now, here are 2 resources that are differentiated and are topically laid out.
There’s a recipe to follow, along with a write-up sheet that’s differentiated based on English ability.
Additionally, there’s a pdf of a wordsearch and a cross-word puzzle that’s topically linked for when you’re waiting for the bread to prove!
Miss A*
Hi everybody.
Here’s a resource for you to use at your leisure. It’s an Egyptian themed piece of work pitched at a LA Year 4/HA year 3 ability cohort. It is differentiated and focuses on comparing masses and multiples of masses in kg and g.
Perfect for cross-curricular learning steeped in ancient Egyptian context!
This is a comprehension task regarding the Vikings.
For each question they complete accurately, they get to save 1 of the Viking horde from the group at the bottom of the page.
Here is a set of differentiated Egyptian-themed word problems for addition.
The children can collect the gems based on how many questions they collect!
This Roman/Celt-themed home learning project works perfectly for year 3/4 (ks2) in line with the national curriculum’s humanities topics!
There are 5 days worth of tasks here that relate to Hadrian’s Wall and Celtic Clothing.
I upload my tasks as both an editable .docx / Word document, and as a PDF in case the alignment doesn’t work on your computers.
Some of my resources use Primary Penmanship font, which can be downloaded for free from the following link:

Hello Fellow Teachers,
Here is a Romans and Celts-themed, home learning project that will be used whilst the children are off school and we’re in lockdown. It’s perfect for distance learning because it contains tasks that can be completed independently. This resource spreads across 5 tasks (could be set weekly or daily) which last for an hour-long each. The tasks are focused around The Romans, The Celts and Hadrian’s Wall.
This task would work great for KS2 (Key Stage 2) and it fits in with the Year 3 national curriculum expectation for humanities.
I upload my tasks as both an editable .docx / Word document, and as a PDF in case the alignment doesn’t work on your computers.
Some of my resources use Primary Penmanship font, which can be downloaded for free from the following link:
