This worksheet serves as a colourful introduction to the different methods of food preservation. It is a diagram showing the first letters of different ways of food preservation along with picture prompts. Discuss and elicit the methods from individuals or groups in the class. The answers are provided on the second page. They are… Freezing, refrigerating, drying or dehydrating, vacuum-packing, salting or curing, pickling, canning or jarring and smoking. I usually introduce this topic when we are going to look at the process of mummification in Ancient Egypt. If you like this worksheet and have a moment, please kindly leave a review. Thank you.

On this A3 worksheet, children create a key and colour in the countries on the map of Africa. Except for the map, this document is fully editable. Instructions: a) Select and write down the names of 15 countries, found in Africa, in the key below. b) Assign a different colour for each country and then colour in the corresponding location on the map of Africa. c) Mark on either the names of the oceans or some of the capital cities. You could also have the children draw on some of the human-made or natural landmarks as an additional activity.

This art/maths crossover is designed to be used online as a Google Doc. It could still be printed out though. It’s made up of a 10x10 grid in which children have to create a pattern or picture (with the Google Doc background changer) using six different colours. Once they have created their art, the second job is to identify the fractions of each of the colours they used in making it. It’s a fun way to connect maths and art and let’s the children create pixel type art. Expect a lot of Minecraft related stuff to be handed in! Finally, it’s great for use in Google Classroom where every child gets their own copy. You can then easily check their individual progress live and then check their results.

This worksheet contains the five elements of a story along one side and on the other are paragraphs from an example adventure story called, Amy’s Adventures in Egypt. Children need to read the excerpts and match them up with the correct part of the story. *This document is fully editable so you can edit things as you please. *

This worksheet allows children to write down an idea and action plan for a New Year’s resolution. I do this with my children each year but encourage them to only choose one resolution, which is relevant and challenging, but not too much so. Once they have decided, they then write a detailed action plan for how to see it through. We then revisit what they wrote at a later date to check on their progress. Part A) What is your New Year’s Resolution? Example sentence starters: This year, I really want to… I want to be better at… I want to learn how to… Part B) What is your action plan? What steps will you do to make sure your resolution is successful?

This is a spinning wheel which is made of two parts, an top wheel which has a window and a door and a bottom wheel which has the questions and answers on respectively. Instructions: a) Print out the template on card. b) Children then write an operation, for example, 3x6 in the inner section, and write the answer in the outer section. Complete each part of the pie with other operations. c) Cut out the sections of other top wheel except the dotted line which will be a fold for the door. (You may need a cuter or Stanley knife for this). d) Use a push pin to attach the wheels together so they will spin. Decorate the wheels and then cut out. Usage: With the little flap door closed, spin or turn the top wheel to reveal an operation. Try and answer it before opening the flap to reveal the correct answer. *I usually use this for children to review a the more difficult of the timestables but it could be adapted for other short question and answers that require a bit of rote learning. It just makes it all that more fun to do. *

This worksheet entails children finding objects in the classroom to first fit a certain length range - Less than, more than and between lengths. Second, it asks that children find other objects and record and measure the exact length using a ruler or tape measure. It also has a column where they can estimate or predict the length of the object. I usually use it as an follow up to an introduction to length, measuring and measuring tools. It’s perfect for teaching about the phrases; less than, greater, than, equal to as well as how to estimate and to measure length using various tools. The download comes both as a PDF and fully editable DOC, so you can make changes as you please.

Four A4 pages of general information about how we measure length and with what, as well as what units we use. Used as a wall display to act as a reference for the children, when they’re learning about length in maths. *The document is fully editable. *

Key Words in Context 2 - Same as above, with space (2 lines) for writing longer sentences. Synonyms 1 - Table layout for recording ten words and two synonyms for each of the words. Synonyms 2 - Same as above, except it is only for 6 words with a space under each for using one of the synonyms in a sentence. Synonyms and Antonyms - Table layout for recording ten words with columns for writing down one synonym and one antonym for each of the words. Parts of Speech Grouping - Box for recording 16 words with a table underneath for sorting the words under the correct part of speech. Could be used for grouping in many other ways though too! Fill in the Blanks - Generic template with space for 12 words to be used to fill in the blanks of your own text underneath. Naming Groups - 10 rows with the option of putting 4 words (that can be grouped in some way) in each. Students have to name the group.

Practical worksheet for comparing the masses of various objects that can be found in the classroom. Children select objects to compare using a set of scales. They have to find objects that are heavier than, equal too and lighter than. Used to help teach about comparing mass and using scales. Comes as a fully editable DOC and also in PDF format. *Ideally requires the children to use a set of balance-beam scales, although any type of scale for measuring mass could be used. *

This worksheet involves questions that relate to the text of Pie Corbett’s Storm Unicorn. The questions cover basic recall and then move onto more advanced comprehension skills such as inference. The final section leaves a space for the children to attempt to draw the Storm Unicorn based on the details of the report. It encourages children to think flexibly and relates the plight of the unicorn with that of rhino’s. It also opens up a wealth of discussion surrounding that point too. I usually use this after the children have read, mapped and analysed the report in detail first. It acts a good gauge for their understanding. *The document is fully editable so you can change questions as you please. *

This worksheet comprises of three activities relating the oceans and continents of the world. The activities are as follows: a) Anagrams of the oceans and continents of the world. b) Label a world map with the oceans and continents of the world. c) Choose three continents and write down three countries for each. Children may need an atlas or access to Google Maps or existing world map for this. It serves as a review or follow-up to an introduction to the oceans and continents of the world. Children are expected to know the names of the of them all, how to spell them and be able to locate them on a map of the world. The document is mostly editable so you can change some of the parts to suit your children’s needs.

This worksheet uses the game of darts to help consolidate knowledge of addition and subtraction. It can be used with or without a real board and darts. You could even use an online game instead. It really helps add some extra enjoyment to maths! The first section of the worksheet involves getting accustomed to the board - knowing what each section of the board is worth. This involves some multiplying by two and three for doubles and triples, but repeated addition could be used for younger learners. The second part of the sheet involves calculating a score of three darts and then subtracting that total from 101, which is this particular game of darts. The final part involves continuing the game and trying to finish with exactly zero. A professional game of darts usually finishes with a double but it could be a single number to make it more likely new players can finish. The worksheet comes in a DOC format, so most parts are easily editable.

This colourful worksheet is made up of 5 addition word problems of increasing difficulty. For each problem, the children are expected to draw a bar model using the template provided and then show their workings and answer, again using a provided outline. The final question involves children creating their own word problem for their friend to try and solve using the same methodology, The worksheet works even better if accompanied with manipulatives such as Base 10 blocks. The LO is for the children to be able to solve addition based word problems with the help of bar models. The document is fully editable so names, numbers and questions can be changed to suit your children’s needs.

The Challenge This Code Breaker Challenge is made up of 4 challenge sheets, each containing three sets of questions about addition as well as an instruction section written in code. There is also a final challenge sheet for obtaining the master lock key. The Setup Ideally, the Code Breaker Challenge requires a box which can be locked with four three digit combination locks and one padlock. See the attached picture as an idea for the setup. It could however be done without this, but wouldn’t be quite as fun for the children. How to Use Fill the box with treasure, for example some sweets and then setup the combinations on each of the locks and lock the box with them and the master lock. Split the class up into four teams and provide each team with one of the challenge sheets. Start a timer of approximately 30 minutes (depending on the ability and age of your class). Each team works together to solve the challenge and tell the teacher the three digit code. If they got it correct, they may open their lock. If not, then they will need to check their answers. Once all four combination locks have been opened, or even after the first team has finished, provide the master lock challenge. If they complete it correctly and within the time, they can then have the master lock key to open the treasure box. Great Fun! The children absolutely love the Code Breaker Challenge and we repeat it at the end of every major maths unit. They really need to work together and check their work carefully if they are to succeed in opening the box and retrieving the treasure within. The documents is fully editable so you can use it as a template to create your own challenges if you like. You can also use it for other subjects as well, but it definitely lends itself to maths the most. I hope you and your children enjoy it as much as mine do! This challenge is one in many. Please take a look at my shop for other units. Thank you.

This set is made up of three different worksheets. Each one has five different flags in the middle and on either side of the flags are the corresponding country and continent names (not in order). The objective is for the children to look up the country in an atlas or on the internet and then discover its flag and continent. They then need to colour the flag correctly and draw arrows to join up the flags to the correct country name and continent. See the image preview to get a better idea of how it works. It’s a great activity to get the children using book and internet resources independently. The download includes a fully editable DOC as well as a PDF.
