Blank colour wheels for children to paint. I have also included a labelled colour wheel as well which can be helpful for SEN or EAL children.

This planning is for a Year 3 Geography topic - Homes Around the World. It contains lesson plans for 8 lessons.

A sheet designed to help children remember the meanings of verbs, adjectives, nouns and adverbs, with examples.

A set of reading comprehension questions based on the Roald Dahl book, The Twits.

Whilst reading the BFG by RoaldDahl, I wanted to teach the children about play scripts so I rewrote a section of Chapter 13 as a script. The children then had chance to read from the script, acting out different roles. They were also able to discuss and identify features of a play script using this resource. There are two versions of the script; one is aimed at the lower ability children and the language used has been simplified (no “BFG speak”). The other worksheet in this pack is to help the children to write their own BFG play script. I hope this can be a useful resource.

This is a worksheet showing a cross-section of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Children can then design the different rooms within the factory. Perfect activity for a class studying ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factoy’ by Roald Dahl.

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.

A set of 12 cards for children to choose from, each with a different word problem containing doubling and halving problems.

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.

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.

A set of classroom posters displaying the french words for various classroom instructions.

Differentiated worksheets for children to complete. Each worksheet contains photographs of shapes that the children must construct then answer questions about their properties.

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.

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.

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.

Three weeks of Literacy planning based upon 'The BFG' by Roald Dahl. All lesson outcomes are differentiated at least 3 ways. Obviously, this planning is based upon the requirements of the class I had at the time and may need altering before you use it with your own class. However, it might be a good starting point if you are planning a Literacy unit on The BFG. =)
