Based upon a resource created by celledore where students battle against different superheroes, in this resource children learn a times table and then have to answer different questions to beat Pokemon characters. Hopefully this will hook children into learning their tables due to the popularity of Pokemon at the moment. Included is also a practise book that helps guide them on their journey to becoming a Pokemon maths master as well as certificates and the tests themselves. Once again thanks to Celledore for the initial inspiration.

A powerpoint explaining the difference between active and passive sentences using sayings to help children remember. Active sentences are 'finger pointy' as we are saying the subject did it! Passive sentences are a bit more relaxed, the subject still did it but we aren't pinning the blame on them so much. I've also used the idea that if the ending can be replaced with 'by zombies' it is passive. I found that this helped my children in their SATs tests, particularly when the active and passive sentences were quite complex.
