Perfect for tracking earnings over time, year on year comparisons and for month-on-month comparisons.
Tracks earnings for TES and TPT and provides an automatically updating graph for each.
The figures used in the spreadsheet are placeholder.
A page of blank cards that can be cut out, laminated and written on with whiteboard marker. Coloured green to match VCOP colouring for conjunctions.
I use these as visual prompts on all my working walls.
Prompt cards that are useful to begin an open and honest debate with KS2/KS3 children.
- What does this picture represent?
- Is this a value that only Britain has? Explain your response.
- How might different people react to this picture?
- Where might you see evidence of these values in British society?
- Where might you see evidence of these values in school?
- Who is a good role model for each of the values represented by these pictures?
Designed for children in Year Six to assess the contents of their own independent writing with ticks or dates.
Handy for allowing children to recognise their own areas for development.
A very simple template/proforma for children to fill in as they research a geographical area. This can easily be trimmed to fit on an A4 page in a book. Two versions have been included: an editable word document version and a PDF version.
Areas to be researched are:
Place/s of interest
Continent/s?
Approximately how many people live there?
What notable wildlife has their habitat there?
What notable bodies of water are at the location or nearby?
What natural resources (oil, wood, metals etc) are present?
What other continents or countries are nearest?
A free trial of the many Millionaire Quiz resources available in my shop, featuring music, lifelines and sound effects.
These versions of the quiz are easily the best available and feature failscreens, sound effects and all the tension of the TV show.
Although this version is not editable, all of the other versions of this resource are fully editable so they can be catered to the abilities and understanding of your cohort. Please note, not all versions of the paid-for resources contain functioning lifelines - these will be changed as time goes on. Please read the descriptions for each or message me for clarity.
N.B The original logos for Who Wants to be a Millionaire are property of Sony Pictures Television. For this reason they have not been included, but a similar non-trademarked version has.
A page of blank cards that can be cut out, laminated and written on with whiteboard marker. Coloured purple to match VCOP colouring.
I use these as visual prompts on all my working walls. My maths vocab, GPS terms and Science vocab are all written on laminated versions of these cards.
This is a differentiated worksheet to help children master angles around a point.
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 Mastery 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.
- Calculate the area of quadrilaterals including squares, rectangles, trapeziums and parallelograms.
- Calculate the area of triangles
- Calculate the area of compound shapes, including shapes with missing lengths and decimal sides.
Differentiated. Now includes a PowerPoint and pdf to help with teaching and display (found in the quadrilaterals section)
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
Two differentiated activity sheets for KS1 children where they need to write certain shapes, names or words in a coordinate grid.
Activity 1 - simplified instructions e.g. 'Draw a three sided shape in'
Activity 2 - harder instructions e.g. 'Draw a ___ in the cell directly under the ______'
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.

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.

A fun, four way differentiated activity that will develop children’s understanding of areas of triangles. This version has a 1cm grid backing to help children calculate the area without the need to measure.
Challenge 1 - Calculate area of triangles.
Challenge 2 - Calculate the area of compound polygons (triangles and rectangles)
Challenge 3 - Calculate the area of compound polygons (triangles, rectangles, trapeziums and parallelograms)
Mastery Challenge - Calculate the area of a large, multi-compound shape made up of many different polygons.
