Three fantastic reading comprehensions based on three of the best fantasy texts for children. Each contains comprehension questions with question stems from the 2016, 2017 and 2018 SATs assessments and a detailed mark scheme. 1. The Hobbit - J.R.R Tolkien 2. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - C.S Lewis 3. Alice’s adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll Perfect for guided reading, whole class text dissection or homework. Tried and tested with great results.

See the video below for a look at this great resource in action. All times tables from 1 x 1 to 12 x 12 are included. Square and Cube number challenges Mixed multiplication practice Mixed division practice Ideal for a whole class fun, interactive game, or this file can be saved in a shared area for children to practice with on their laptops or tablets.

This activity will help children meet the Roman Numeral curriculum statements for Year 5 and is excellent revision for Year 6. Included are: - 17 questions where the children need to change Roman Numerals into Arabic Numbers (the numbers we are familiar with) - 5 questions where they need to turn Arabic Numbers into Roman Numerals - 6 questions where they must complete a calculation in Roman Numerals and give their answer as both Roman Numerals and Arabic Numbers - excellent for your 'More Able' learners. .....and an answer sheet for all activities. Activities are given as both a word document and a pdf. Please comment/rate this resource as all feedback is valuable.

This is a differentiated worksheet to help children master angles on a straight line. Children are challenged to: - name the type of angle a ‘missing angle’ is. - calculate its size in degrees - measure it accurately using a protractor. There are two sheets, an Expected Standard sheet and a more challenging Greater Depth sheet (2016+ Curriculum). On each sheet there are nine missing angles, meaning that children have 27 things to do in order to complete one activity sheet. Please rate and/or comment. All feedback is valuable.

This is an activity that will challenge all children in a class. Suitable for Years 5-8 (depending on ability). To complete this activity children will need to: - recall the number of sides for polygons down to a dodecagon - use algebra to calculate the sum of the interior angles for each shape - find the size of each interior angle using logic (division) - calculate the size of each exterior angle (180 - interior angle = exterior angle) This will get the room buzzing and you'll see your children using many skills during the same lesson. I have colour banded the activity four ways: -Blue (easiest) -White (Middle) - Green (challenging) - Purple (Mastery) Please comment on and rate this resource.

These are excel spreadsheet Gap Analysis documents for the May 2016 Year Six SATs Papers for Reading, Mathematics (Arithmetic, Reasoning 1 & 2), GPS and Spelling Papers. The sheet totals up the scores automatically and each child’s final score changes colour to reflect their ability. If their total score for a subject goes green, it means they would have passed the 2016 SATs with that score. If it goes Orange, it means they are within touching distance. If it goes Green with a yellow font, it means that child would have achieved a ‘More Able’ score for that tested subject. There are three spreadsheet documents. One for Reading, one for Maths, and one for GPS. They are broken down into individual papers inside. I have also included a digital document, linking to a freely available copy of each test, mark scheme and instructions. Additionally, I have included the conversion tables from RAW Score to Scaled Score. All a teacher has to do is enter their children’s names and enter the 0’s, 1’s, 2’s or 3’s for each question, which also change colour too for a visual reference. I recommend that a teacher should enter ‘N’ if a child did not attempt that question. This gives an idea of who is not even attempting certain questions, not just whether they got the question wrong. Last academic year I used these grids to provide targeted feedback and to spot trends. As a result my class were well over National Average for all subjects (much to my relief!) I take requests for Gap Analysis Grids. Please leave feedback if you like this resource as I am planning to produce more for each SATs paper going forward, as well as CGP Practice Papers. Please remember to rate this resource as I made this to save teachers time. Thank-you.

This is a two page document about Myths, Legends and Folk Tales, covering the difference between the three and definitions of what each are. Excellent as an activity to get children to summarise the three different types of story or good as reading comprehension.

Included in this time saving resource are three differentiated word problems aimed at KS1. -Lower Ability -Middle Ability - Higher Ability

Activity sheet where children have two put decimal numbers and whole numbers in ascending order. There are twelve problems, each with four numbers to put into order.

Two differentiated activity sheets where children are required to recognise 2D shapes. Lower Ability - Ten shapes that need to be matched to their names. Higher Ability - Twelve shapes on a sheet that children need to name (no names given to match).

Editable differentiated data handling activity for KS1 children or lower KS2 children. Activity 1 - children complete a tally chart (in this instance, number of letters in their classmates' names - this is editable) Activity 2 - Create a bar chart from their data. Lower Ability - Axes are labelled Higher Ability - Axes are not labelled

This is a 4-way differentiated worksheet/activity sheet that tests children's understanding of how to add a mixed number to a proper fraction, which is tested at the end of Year Six and onwards in SATs assessments (arithmetic/reasoning) and in other end of year assessments. There are four challenges: -Add a mixed number to a proper fraction (same denominators). -Add a mixed number to a proper fraction (different denominators). -Add two mixed numbers to a proper fraction (same denominators) -Add two mixed numbers to a proper fraction (different denominators) At each stage, children will be expected to give their answer in its simplest form, as is standard practice in the assessed tests. I have also included an answer sheet.

This is a differentiated worksheet to help children master opposite angles. Answers are included. Children are challenged to: - name the type of angle a ‘missing angle’ is. - calculate its size in degrees - measure it accurately using a protractor. All angles are correctly sized. There are two sheets, an Expected Standard sheet and a more challenging Greater Depth sheet (2016+ Curriculum). On each sheet there are nine missing angles, meaning that children have 27 things to do in order to complete one activity sheet. Please rate and/or comment. All feedback is valuable.

This resource will help teach or reinforce children’s understanding of figurative language. Challenge 1 - Identify similes Challenge 2 - Identify metaphors Challenge 3 - Identify personification. Answers included. If you require activities that go into much more depth for similes, metaphors and personification, please see my shop for individual resources or a bundle. Please rate this resource.

A differentiated activity sheet/ worksheet to help children develop their understanding of similes as figurative language. Challenge 1 - Identify the personification Challenge 2 - Write personification sentences about specific nouns Challenge 3 - Write sentences that include personification, that feature specific aspects of grammar or punctuation. Please see my shop for bundles.
