This activity could be used with year 5 or 6 children to help them learn how to convert between units of measure and to develop their understanding of decimals and multiplying by 10, 100 and 1000.
This is a cut and stick activity for children to use when learning about circuits. They cut out all of the pictures and match the picture to the circuit symbol and definition. I use with my Year 6 class but could definitely be used with younger children with some adult support.
This is a cut and stick activity where children need to cut out and order the journey of a red blood cell through the circulatory system. I get my Year 6 class to do this after they’ve watched videos and about the circulatory system and acted it out! Note - the sheet is currently in the correct order - you might want to re-order or pre-cut before giving to children.
These problems are laid out so that they can be printed on stickers (2 by 7). This is so the children can chose their problem, stick it in their book and have plenty of space to do the workings out. The problems are organised by challenges 1 being the easiest and 3 the hardest. I allow children to chose their own challenge.
Here is my bank of spelling lists for Year 6. One for each term (1-5) to send home to parents. The lists cover all Year 6 objectives from the new curriculum.
Here is a full set of start of topic assessments for maths that I made to assess my year 6 class. I get them to do it first at the start of the unit and then again at the end. The questions directly link to the national curriculum and to most online assessment grids.
This Year 6 Maths bundle contains: worksheets, activities, extensions, planning and Smart notebook slides for full units of work based on the White Rose scheme. It covers: Area and Perimiter, Measures, Position and Direction, Ratio and Shape.
This is a full unit of work for the Year 3 White Rose unit Number and Place Value. It includes smartnotebook slides with ‘recap’ ‘explore’ ‘hinge’ and ‘tasks’ as well as worksheets and extensions. Everything you need to deliver high quality mastery maths lessons.
This is the notebook file for an English unit where students will write their own Mayan Stories. I teach this unit with my Year 6 class towards the end of the Mayan topic when the class have a good knowledge of the Mayan Era. This notebook file contains the modelled write split up into sections to give students inspiration for their own writing.
This is a high quality modelled write about cinemas that I use with my Year 3 class to model what a non-chronological report should look like. It contains the key features of an information text: headings, subheadings, a picture, an introduction etc. As well as the key grammatical features that Year 3/4 children should be aiming to use (fronted adverbials, FANBOYS, subordinate clauses, brackets, questions, exclamations and colons).
In the lesson, I would get the children to read the text and discuss what they have learnt from it. They could develop the skills of scanning and skimming and re-calling key information. Then, I ask them to highlight the key features of a non-chronological report. Finally, they could search for high quality language, facts or punctuation that they would like to use in their own writing.
This is a modelled write that I have written for my Year 3 class when studying the book 'Escape from Pompeii'. It's an information text/ travel brouchure about Pompeii. My class analysed this piece of writing before planning and writing their own versions where they chose their own city in Europe to write about. They had to decide on the layout and heading/ subheadings.
A great introduction to rounding for Year 3 or 4 children and perfect as a revision lesson for Year 5 and 6. I have three challenges - each one slightly harder.
This is a fun activity for KS2 children when they are learning about the major rivers in the world. They can cut out and mix up the pictures, places and river names and then match them up again.
Great for Year 5 and 6 children when they are first learning about circle properties and struggle to remember the words radius, diameter and circumference. They can use it as a revision prompt or a help sheet.
Here is a collection of pictures of typical Victorian jobs. I get the children to draw a Venn Diagram or Caroll Diagram in their book, cut out the pictures and stick them in. They could sort them between rich jobs and poor jobs or jobs for children and jobs for adults.
This is a great extension after a lesson on the formal written multiplication method. Children have to fill in the missing numbers. Great SATs revision too.
