Human and Physical Features Clip Cards
These clip cards are a great way for students to practice their recognition of human and physical features using a multiple choice system. 32 cards are included which cover a wide range of geographical features including all listed in KS1 National Curriculum. Each card has two possible answers. Students select the correct answer by clipping a clothespin, peg or paper clip to it.
I like to laminate these cards so students can simply circle the correct answer using a dry erase marker. Alternatively, you can print these on paper to hand out to your class at the end of the lesson; pupils circle the correct answer and hand in as a great exit ticket or plenary to the lesson.

Open ended maths investigation - year 2 addition
I use the activity with my year 2 students but it can easily be adapted to suit other year groups. This resource is a maths investigation to practice addition with regrouping. There are 3 levels of challenge to meet the varying needs of the pupils. You will need a box of small building bricks or lego. I just pick out the pieces I need and put a small amount on each table. A small amount goes a surprisingly long way with this activity as their constructions are quite small. I usually take pictures of the structures so we can talk about the value of each during the plenary.
