Choosing appropriate units of measure (km/m/cm/mm)

(5)
A simple worksheet I gave to my kids to introduce choosing appropriate units of measure. I gave a sheet out between groups of 4 and they had to discuss and decide which unit of measure would be best for each picture. I gave my LA the second sheet and they had to cut out the pictures and stick them into the correct box that they thought they should go in with a TA. They all had to explain why they chose the units they did. I also got them to guess how far it was from Lands End to John O'Groats before showing them on google maps. Had some interesting answers!

Who were the Twelve Disciples of Jesus?

(4)
A powerpoint briefly explaining who the Twelve disciples of Jesus were and what their purpose was. I had the children sing along with the song to help them remember their names. Obviously, I had to explain to the children that the song was from a Christian point of view and they did not have to sing it if it made them feel uncomfortable. They all seemed to thoroughly enjoy it though and they remembered all of the names!

A one off dance lesson based on all things piratey! Included are the dance cards for the children to choose from. I laminated these and let them choose them from face down.
