I create a range of resources aimed at primary aged children; most frequently upper KS2. My passion is teaching mathematics, my specialist subject area. I have two aims: To create fun resources which inspire children To create mathematicians, not robots! I believe great teaching, specifically with mathematics, should aim to teach children the underlining methods which children can apply to take initiative of their own learning!

Upper KS2 / Year 5 and 6 Reading Comprehension - NFER style

(0)
This reading comprehension has a lengthy passage with different styles of questions for the children to practice including inference, retrieval, justification and author’s choice of language. I have based this on the NFER style exam papers so it includes one , two and three mark questions. It’s fantastic for developing the children’s various comprehension skills. The resource is given in an exam style format, or a more paper-saving textbook version! Finally, it comes with a mark scheme. Also, the passage lends itself really well to a writing stimulus, especially for the genre of mystery.

This resource pack contains an interactive PowerPoint and activity sheets which focus on the following Lower KS2 SPaG objectives: - Apostrophes (for contractions and to indicate possession) - Speech / quotation marks - Paragraphs - Conjunctions - Fronted adverbials It teachers the skill using concise explanations and clear examples. It then has a question which you must answer as a class for each of the five topics. Finally, there is a short activity sheet allowing the children time to practice each skill. The answers have been included in the PowerPoint so it is perfect for self assessment, meaning less marking for you! It is perfect for teaching, recapping and consolidating each of the skills. Its fun style means the children find it super-engaging! I hope you enjoy it!

This is a test I created which will provide information in your children's progress in these upper KS2 targets: 1. Identifying and using the passive voice 2. Modal verbs 3. Identifying and using relative clauses 4. Using apostrophes for possession and contractions 5. Using commas for various reasons 6. Using hyphens for compound adjectives 7. Using semicolons and extending sentences with semicolons and related main clauses. The test is out of 32 and is aimed to diagnose errors to aid future learning whilst also evidencing and checking children's current understanding. The test comes with a marking scheme.
