This resource contains a day's worth of lessons on self-esteem. I planned these lessons to for a project our school is involved in called 'Gr8 as U R' which has the aim of improving relationships between pupils by building confidence and self worth. It links to the PSHE curriculum. There are a range of activities: group discussions, art, vocabulary work, independent reflections. These are supported through the accompanying power point.

This is a 5 page worksheet with 6 questions and answer for each of the 4 operations. It shows a method which is incorrect for some reason, e.g. switching the digits, forgetting the decimal place, lining the digits up incorrectly, adding instead of multiplying. Typical mistakes! The children have to identify the mistake, explain where I went wrong and find the correct answer. I always find its useful to show children a wrong example to help them embed the correct method and avoid these mistakes themselves.

This is a very comprehension unit of work with many worksheets and activities about the Aztecs and Mexico in the past and in the modern day. It allows pupils to draw comparisons. The unit explores Aztec religious beliefs, significant places, human sacrifice, foods, transport, warfare. There is a very detailed flipchart for each lesson with lots of information, links and questions. I hope you enjoy it!

We used this presentation last year to introduce careers and aspirations to our very sceptical Year 5s to get them thinking about what they might like to do when they grow up. It includes information about salaries, the benefit of working, the benefit system, backwards planning, etc.

I made this worksheet to help my Year 6s prepare for SATS as it covers some of the areas I know they find tricky, e.g. the subjunctive, tenses, determiners, relative clauses. It could be used throughout the year in a SPAG lesson as practice or even as homework.

I made this worksheet for homework revising two areas of the Year Six curriculum which they often forget - roman numerals and miles to km. There is an explanation of each and then a range of questions (progressively harder) for the pupils to solve (some taken from past SATS papers).

This is a sheet I developed to track progress against times tables in my school. Each child has a laminated copy of the sheet which is then ticked off using a sharpie. There are different levels of achievement the children can reach for Reciting in Order, Random order, Using in context, and Division facts with Dojo points (our reward system). There is also a document giving some ideas about how to teach times tables effectively and how the tracking sheet could be used.

I used this flipchart to introduce the concept of ratio for the first time to my Year 6 middle ability maths set. It includes word stories, pictorial representations, explanations, and some questions to have a go at.

I have created these sheets to help my Year 6s to revise the 4 operations in the build up to SATS. I will probably send them home so that the parents can use them also. Each sheet contains a clear modelled example with annotated to explain what is happening and then questions to have a go at.

This powerpoint was used to inform my Year 3 / 4 class about some historical facts about the Romans and the Celtics so that they could compare and contrast them. Information is given about towns, clothing, weapons and art.

Four worksheets about using semicolons, colons and dashes accurately with different levels of activities including picture prompts and clear explanations at the beginning on how to use each punctuation mark correctly.

This is a non-threatening assessment / activity for pupils to complete in pairs while supporting each other. I created it because I'd like to know how much my pupils have forgotten of their basic skills during the Christmas break so that I can support them better. It is based on arithmetic topics covered in Autumn 1: rounding, place value, 4 operations, fractions. There are a range of questions - some purely fluency based but with some reasoning and problem solving in there too. It is very SAT-sy in the style and level of questions. It ends with an extension looking at square number patterns and why they occur.

This is a sheet I created for my Year 6 middle ability maths group who are now revising for their SATS. The sheet is organised into topics: the 4 operations, calculating with fractions, percentages, BODMAS and squared and cubed. I chose these topics because these are things I know my group struggle with / need more practice on. Each topic is marked out of 3, total marks of 33. At the end, there is an opportunity for pupils to self-assess (after the sheet has been marked as a class) which topics are their strongest/weakest. In my class, we are going to give 3 and a half minutes per 3 questions.

A range of revision sheets for different topics including modelled examples, worksheets, and in-depth questions. Topics covered include: sequences, rounding, percentages mind mapping, calculating with fractions, factors, multiplying and dividing decimals. I will be sending these sheets for homework / completing these in class to jog the children's memories before SATS.

This document has 3 number-based challenges which focus on the pupil making a conjecture, exploring with other examples, convincing someone, then coming up with a generalisation statement. It explains briefly these 'mathematical powers'. Useful for getting children to work in groups to do some deeper problem solving through pattern-spotting and reasoning.

We are still laminating and handing these out to parents at the start of the year because we find that parents find them useful for ideas for how to support their children when reading, rather than just focusing on fluency.

This is a flipchart I designed for my Year 6 middle ability maths group. We were introducing coordinates for the first time in Year 6. The flipchart starts by exploring a single quadrant, plotting points which make shapes, exploring patterns in vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines. The flipchart then progresses (in Session 2) to exploring the 4 quadrant grid in a similar way. Links are made to 2D shapes (e.g. find the missing corner). There are many opportunities for children to discuss connections and patterns throughout.

There are 8 lessons and further extra activities in this teeth and healthy eating unit, ranging from labelling teeth, learning about the Eatwell plate, different types of foods, matching animal teeth and their diet, etc. There is also a planning and evaluation sheet for the eggshell experiment.

Three worksheets about speech suitable for KS2. The first sheet is all about punctuating direct speech and the two main purposes of speech: to convey character or advance the action. The second sheet is all about setting out dialogue correctly. The third sheet is about converting between direct and reported speech. All sheets have two different levels: 'Feeling Fine' and 'Feeling Confident'. All can be edited.

I have been using this for the past 2 years. It has been enlarged to A3 and stuck down one of my walls and I find it very useful for reference in writing lessons and so do the kids. Hopefully you will too!
