Children generate adjectives, similes and metaphors from a range of picture prompts. Resource can be used as a follow up to whole class teaching. I used these as part of a poetry unit in Year 3.

I used this resource with a year 3/4 class when introducing the concept of line graphs. This is a great way to get the children to understand trends before actually having to plot or read graphs. The children create their own 'graph story' by looking at the data and coming up with a feasible explanation of what might have happened to create the data. Comparing ideas was also fun!

This activity was used as part of a measures workshop I taught in Grade 1. On the table were different labelled containers and in the middle of the table was a large basin of water with a plastic cup inside. The idea was to observe the children's mathematical thinking and problem solving skills throwing in questions now and then to support their autonomy. A really nice workshop - great and simple activity.

A range of numberlines for use when estimating/plotting scales. The worksheets have been designed to promote reasoning and using and applying knowledge. Children will write in the missing numbers on the different numberlines. Resource can be used for independent learning or focused group work.

This is a resource that could be used as an introduction or initial assessment. The children will need whiteboards and pens and will demonstrate their understanding of rounding based on the position of the number on a numberline as well as by looking at the end digit.

3 differentiated levels. Worksheets reinforce partitioning to add using a numberline. Resource could be used to prepare children for mental strategies of addition. Worksheet includes an example for the children to refer to.

A fun resource to use when teaching about multiples. Children use their knowledge of multiples to join the dots and reveal the picture! Great for Year 2 up

Here are some sample end of year report comments to be used with a year 3 class (could be easily adapted up or down). The comments cover reading, writing, speaking and listening and are differentiated. Enjoy resting your brain!

An overview of ideas for teaching a plants topic.

A range of resources to support the teaching and learning of a Chocolate topic!! Resources were used in Year 3 and Grade 3.

A simple version of the classic game made to reinforce the phase 3 sounds. This can be a teacher led activity or independent reinforcement for more able children. A fun way to practise phonics!

A writing booklet template for writing about weekend news. Includes section for drawings. I used this with Year/Grade 1 on a Monday as one of the writing activities.

A warm up activity to briefly assess understanding or knowledge gained. Children circle the time connectives/temporal words or phrases, from a selection given. Children then add their own examples below. I used this with Grade 1 but can be used from reception/Kinder up to 3, as an introductory or end of unit quick assessment.

A notebook resource used to support the teaching of causal connectives.

3 differentiated sheets. Children to work out the change when purchasing the given items.

An introduction to states of matter and changes. Resource includes an activity where the children work in groups to sort properties of matter. Used with Grade 3.

This is a cut and paste activity. Children will be given colour coded cause and effect sentences, which they should unscramble and paste in their books. Children will then shade the cause in one colour and the effect in another. I had the sentences pre-cut and in envelopes (1 set for each child). As the sentences are colour coded this worked well and also gave the children a chance to revise their knowledge of sentences e.g. starting with a capital etc. This activity was used for a LA group in Year 3 but could be used in many different ways, including pre_assessment of cause and effect, or end of unit assessment. The children really enjoyed the activity.
