TWELVE quality wordsearch puzzles (in a zip file) based on key terms from six Roald Dahl Books: Fantastic Mr Fox; George’s Marvellous Medicine; James and the Giant Peach; Matilda; The Magic Finger; The Twits. 10-word and 30-word wordsearches for each story. (Simple differentiation / use depending on the time available.) These were used with Year / Grade 5 children when they were reading Roald Dahl stories and they thoroughly enjoyed them (and older (or younger!) children will enjoy them too.) These were used in class as a starter, to support their recollection of events in the books, as well as to reinforce spellings. They were also used with students as part of World Book Day celebrations and as part of school library sessions to promote the love of reading.

Prepare now for celebrating the Fourth of July with your students and children. Or use it to simply spread the awareness of the history of the famous date and the way the day is celebrated. This listing contains a quality 3 - activity sheet with a wordsearch, fill the blanks and 10 Independence Day-themed questions. Students / children will likely need to conduct some research for at least some of these questions! Also included is the wordsearch on its own if you prefer it as well as the answer sheet for all activities.

This quiz can be used as a comprehension exercise where children watch the film “The Pirates! Band of Misfits” and then answer as many questions correctly as they can. The adjusted / differentiated activity can be that the film is watched in two halves (or smaller chunks) to give children less to remember all at once and more of a chance to get all 18 questions correct! This activity can also be an opportunity to practice spellings, learn something new (what exactly is a barnacle?) and most importantly, have fun! You can also encourage children to come up with their own questions to test others. This is a suitable task for Grade 4 upwards (approximately 8+ years) and FYI the film has a PG rating. Answer sheet is included. If not used for skills practice, just save it for a treat or a rainy day!

This resource is suitable for students learning about networks and their setup (Year 9+). This pack includes the following: My School Network tasks - 6 pages (15 tasks plus example questions for the IT engineer at the school) (PDF) Above editable version My School Network completed sample - 7 pages (PDF) Above editable version Networks terminology wordsearch (54 words) The 15 tasks were created to support Year 10 Computer Science and ICT students in their learning about Networks. The tasks were completed as the students went on a tour, led by the school’s head IT technician / engineer, of the school’s network setup. The tasks can be used / adapted for younger / older students, or depending on their abilities. In our case, the sheets were printed and students completed them by hand using clipboards, but it would also work fine if the students edit the Word document on their devices. The tasks cover the basics including ‘Find out why we have a school network’, ‘Draw what you think the school’s server looks like’, several questions about the school’s backup procedure, questions regarding internet speed, and some sample questions to ask the IT technician / engineer in a Q&A session. The students thoroughly enjoyed the tour, including being wowed by numbers and figures and being allowed to be near the server room, and felt a lot more savvy after understanding what all these devices were in the corridors, walls and ceilings. This definitely made their learning come to life and gave them a clearer understanding of networks and their setup. They also got to know the IT support staff a lot better and expressed great thanks at the end of the tour. It’d be a good idea to meet up with the technicians / engineers in advance to plan out the tour and even prepare them with some of the questions that will be asked.

Here are another set of activities for the final weeks of term and to get into the spirit of the world cup with your children. This one is biased towards England :) In this pack you will find two wordsearches: one for the World Cup 2018 England Squad and another for the World Cup 1966 Squad (why not?!). Both wordsearches have bonus words to find and these are in a Notepad file within this pack.

Seven activity files altogether plus three answer files.

These worksheets have been created for CS Education week, for the Hour of Code, but can be used for a computing activity throughout the year. Students as young as Year 4 (8-year olds) can be given this to work on (and maybe younger!) I like the CS Unplugged activities but have remixed the worksheets so they’re shorter and more ‘student-ready’. I have also added MS Excel versions for one of the image representation tasks. This is great to use particularly when differentiating. (The worksheets are available on another account which also belongs to me.)

No excuses needed to get this wordsearch in lessons and likely no motivation required to get the kids on it! Hope the kids (and grown-ups) enjoy it.

This pack contains 14 pages of activities. The first is a 2-page activity, for which the kids need to name, trace and then design (colouring, painting, glittering etc) each of the 11 featured dinosaurs (grey silhouettes).

The next 11 sheets are the individual dinosaurs enlarged on A4 files, with instructions suggesting that after naming and tracing the dinosaurs, they should get creative and colour and decorate, before writing 3 facts about the dinosaur. Surely these would make for a great wall display. The last activity is a wonderful anagrams activity. The kids need to read the (often strange) set of words and then rearrange the letters to figure out the name of the dinosaur. ‘carpet riots’ anyone? (Answer file included)
