The use of French articles is often different from English, and it is an area where even experienced students make mistakes. This set of resources addresses that, covering the definite, indefinite and partitive articles. There is a support sheet and two worksheets for each. The accompanying answers have explanatory notes referring students to the rules covered in the support sheet. Each worksheet has 8 short questions to be translated from English to French. One mark is awarded for getting the article right, and a second mark for the correctness of the whole response. Each of the sets would provide ideal independent work to follow on from an online lesson.

This resource could form the basis of a whole lesson. There is a presentation on expressions which use ‘avoir’ in French, but ‘to be’ in English. It is supplied in several formats: an MP4 video which can be teacher controlled using the pause button. a PDF version of the same material that can be used for classroom display. a pupil notes version in black and white so that pupils can make lesson notes or use it for homework or revision. For follow-up work, there is a multiple choice exercise. This contains a red herring - one of the verbs does not take avoir.

Two sets of five worksheets. The easier set has just the Celsius scale displayed on the thermometer. The more difficult shows both Celsius and Fahrenheit. In both sets, pupils have to read temperatures in Celsius only. Useful real-world application of negative numbers.

Fun whole class PowerPoint activity for primary or KS3 classes: English with a bit of maths. Great for starters or plenaries. Teacher calls out a number (eg 12) which is the sum of two digits showing on the screen. Pupils choose two numbers (eg 8 + 4) that add up to the teacher’s number and, if correct, they turn those two cards to reveal two letters. As more letters are revealed, the spelling begins: pupils make as many words as they can. They are scored according to the number of letters they contain. The teacher may decide to set a minimum word length. The maths element can be made more difficult for more able classes ( eg '12 is the product of of which two numbers? ’ - Pupils could choose 4 and 3, 6 and 2, 12 and 1). Or it can be omitted entirely, and pupils simply select numbers to turn. There are 8 games included in the PowerPoint. And some frantic music. Turn your computer sound down if it gets too much!

These differentiated sets of worksheets are written to meet the objectives for Year 6 Number. Each of the four topics is split into three levels, indicated on the worksheets by 1, 2 or 3 stars. There are 3 versions of each worksheet. The material could be used in several ways: * work through all the levels with the whole class * use the levels to target varying abilities within the class * use extra versions of tasks to set as follow-up homework * where pupils are inclined to copy, use different versions of worksheets to ensure independent working * extra versions of tasks can be set as assessment at the end of a unit Learning objectives are given at the beginning of each sheet. A simple ‘thumbs up’ style of self-assessment is printed at the bottom of each task.

These four texts are retellings in modern English of traditional Chinese folk tales. One - the story of the Nian - is specifically about the origins of Chinese New Year traditions. The other three could be used at any time of the year. These have several common themes (money, religion, magic, kindness, and more which could be suggested by pupils themselves), and would make a good starting point for textual comparison or cross-curricular work (eg RE, citizenship). The texts all come with a set of 10 questions which could be used for discussion in assembly, or for formal written comprehension in the classroom. The folk tale format makes the texts accessible to a wide age range, including KS1, whereas the themes broached in many of the questions make them more suitable for able KS2 or KS3 classes.

This is a game for 2-4 players. It is played with a single die and counters. Included are a simple game board with Christmas pictures every few squares, and a set of 24 question cards suitable for lower or upper KS2. The grammar content should have been covered by the end of Y3. If players land on a picture square, one of the other players reads out the Christmas themed grammar question. If players give the correct answer, they advance one square. If incorrect, they go back one square. A useful resource for the period leading up to the Christmas holiday.

This resource provides sufficient material for a complete lesson on equivalent fractions, and enough worksheets for classwork, homework and revision purposes. It consists of a 17-slide PowerPoint presentation, 5 graded sets of worksheets, and a two-page help document to support learners/parents/support staff in the independent/homework tasks. The presentation has teacher-controlled animation to facilitate step-by-step working through of the method. After two slides dealing with key vocabulary, there are 5 showing how to use multiplication to find a second missing numerator, and a further 5 showing how to use division to find the first numerator. The intention is that during the whole-class lesson, the method will become embedded in learners’ memories as they work through a series of problems with the teacher, using the same ‘script’ for each. At the end of the presentation, there is a set of calculations for pupils to work on in pairs/small groups, before moving on to independent work. Answers are supplied. The step-by-step help sheets have a similar function to the presentation. The first shows how multiplication is used to solve equivalent fractions problems. The second deals with the division method. The 25 worksheets (sets of 5 with accompanying answer sheets) are arranged in folders, which are numbered in order of difficulty. Since the objective is to teach a method, rather than supply calculation practice, a secure knowledge of multiplication tables is not a prerequisite of success at this level. The easiest folder requires only that pupils know the 10 times table. The other folders also have denominators of 2 and 5.

A retelling of a folk tale well-known in Germany and Ukraine. 12 comprehension questions with answers. Links to websites with other versions of the tale are provided in the teacher notes. Good for KS1 as a stimulus for writing, art and craft, and for KS2 as part of a study on different versions of legends and folk tales. It lends itself too to cross-curricular work: a study of eastern European countries in geography, or of mini beasts/arachnids in science, or research into the history of tinsel on Christmas trees.

KS2 Worksheets and help sheet. 5 worksheets with answers. Task is to list factors of 2 numbers, and then to identify the greatest (or highest) common factor. There are 10 questions on each worksheet.

For KS1 and lower KS2. A seven slide (plus title and end) presentation on how commas are used for lists. Nouns, noun phrases and adjectives are covered fully, and at the end there is an indication that the same rules apply for other types of lists (verbs and adverbs, for example). Each demonstration slide is followed by a whole class 'Try this' activity, which could be done on individual whiteboards or in books. Available as either PowerPoint or PDF. The second file is a worksheet where pupils have to supply the commas in sentences containing lists. Answers are provided. Lesson plan also included.

For upper KS2 or lower KS3. This worksheet is for pupils who have studied the different ways in which commas are used, and who need practice in identifying them. There are ten sentences containing various kinds of comma. Some of the sentences contain more than one kind. The first part of the exercise is simple enough: pupils have to insert the missing commas in each sentence. The second part is more difficult: giving an explanation of the type of comma used. Answers are provided.

Pupils often find decimal place value difficult even after they have grasped it for whole numbers. These differentiated worksheets give plenty of practice at putting decimals in order.
