I made these resources for the final lesson in a Year 3 Geography Topic - Homes Around the World. Previously, the children had looked at many different types of homes and they had thought about the reasons they were built in certain ways. We had looked at the favelas in Brazil and written persuasive letters to ask the Brazilian government to build better homes. In this final lesson, I told the children that we were going to plan for a new village to be built in Brazil. The children were able to think about the types of homes that would be most suitable to the area, considering the climate, physical features and human features. They really enjoyed this lesson. This pack contains differentiated town planning worksheets as well as an extension for the higher ability where they have to stick to a budget and calculate the costs of their planned village.
I created these resources for a Year 3 lesson on London Landmarks. This was part of a larger unit of work on British Landmarks. The children had to research facts about various London landmarks, completing a table and answering questions. I provided each table with a range of books and information sheets (not included) about London Landmarks. They also had access to laptops to aid them with their research.
In this pack, you will find the differentiated tables for children to complete using their research. I have also included the questions for each ability group. The SEN and lowest ability children have got sentence starters to help them write about what they found. I have also included a sheet I used with an EAL child, on which they had to match the images of London landmarks to their names.
The children enjoyed finding out about different London landmarks and were telling me facts for weeks. I hope this pack can be useful to you too. =)
A template worksheet for writing newspaper articles. This worksheet consists of two columns with lines for writing on. There is a space for a heading and two subheadings. A space for a picture and caption is also provided.
A quick worksheet where children can match map symbols to their meanings. Makes a good starter for a Geography lessons using ordnance survey (OS) maps.
I created this map so that children can look at the different locations and the nearby physical features in order to decide which location would be best for building a settlement. I also created a worksheet that provides more structure when asking children to consider each location.
I created these resources whilst reading The BFG by Roald with my Year 3 class. The task is for the children to put some of the BFG’s nonsense words into their very own dictionary. The children can cut out and stick the words in order alphabetically then make up their own meanings for the words. In this pack, there are several different worksheets aimed at different ability groups. Some have more words and some have the alphabet included at the top of the page as support. Also, included in this pack is a worksheet where the meanings of some words are given and the children have to match the definition to the nonsense word. My Year 3 class really enjoyed making up their own definitions.
This worksheet can be used within an RE topic on Creation Stories. I created a Venn diagram for children to compare the creation stories of the Hindu and Christian religions. Some children will be able to do this without the prompts at the side but I have included them for the lower ability children.
Cut up this grid for children to play a punctuation matching game. They must match the punctuation symbol to its name and how it is used. This makes a good starter or plenary activity.
Included:
- A table of Modal Simple, Passive Modal Simple, Modal Perfect and Passive Modal Perfect examples. There is space for the pupils to write their own examples too.
- A homework worksheet on which children can practise using the present perfect tense as well as modal verbs in the form of a written conversation.
- A homework sheet for lower ability children to identify sentences written in past, present and future tenses.
- A prompt sheet to encourage children to use the modal perfect tense correctly e.g. would have not would of

I created this resource when I was completing my teacher training as I wanted to evidence that I had explicitly planned for a teaching assistant.
I found it worked really well, especially as the TA was fairly new to the role. I would recommend this resource to NQTs and teachers with new teaching assistants.
I have left an example plan that can be edited. The second sheet also allows the TA to give some written feedback about how the activity went.
This resource contains a poster giving examples of various fronted adverbials and explaining how they are used.
The worksheet is designed to help familiarise children with fronted adverbials and makes a great homework activity or lesson starter. Children are asked to match sentences to appropriate fronted adverbials, rearrange adverbial phrases in sentences and come up with their own fronted adverbials. Answers are also included.
A set of two posters designed to demonstrate how to use the bar model for addition and subtraction. The second poster show how the bar model can be used to solve missing number problems by using the inverse operation.
