This is a quick 5 minute activity where children need to answer as many questions as possible. There are a range of times tables, related facts, decimals, squares, square root, etc questions aimed at Y5 and Y6. We are currently using these for our Battle of the Blues times tables challenge, where children initially get 5 minutes to complete the sheet and they then need to do it in 3 minutes, 2 minutes, and so on. Created from scratch by me. Fingers crossed the answers are correct - please let me know in the reviews if not :)

This is a WAGOLL, written by me, for a mini topic on Antarctic Animals Information Texts. This particular text is on Emperor Penguins, which was what the LA children were writing about. It contains examples from the Y5 National Curriculum, including parenthesis, subordinate clauses, relative clauses, expanded noun phrases, colons and semi-colons. Please write in the Reviews if you spot any mistakes!

A huge bundle of resources linked to Street Child by Berlie Doherty. This is a story based in Victorian times about a boy who loses his family and survives on the streets. It includes work on: narrative writing, report writing, commas, subordinating conjunctions, reading comprehension, diary entries, etc.

This resource is 2 lessons on Addition and Subtraction Multi-Step problems. Some of the problems are 2 and 3-step, some are even more! The answers are in the files with the resources. They can be written on the backs of the cards as a form of self-assessment. Lesson 1 - focus on using the Steps to Success to figure out the calculations needed. Lesson 2 - using the Steps to Success to represent the problems as Bar Models and writing their own word problems using given calculations. Also a small focus on Perimeter (this was a gap in our assessment) and answering a multi-step problem using perimeter skills. TWO SHEETS ARE NOT INCLUDED - these are detailed below. Lesson 1 - Lower Ability (Emerging) - Year 4 Two-Step addition and subtraction problems. (Not included - used a pre-made resource from Twinkl.) Middle Ability (Developing) - Multi-Step Problems Developing Lesson 1.doc (Included) Higher Ability (Secure) - Multi-Step Problems Secure Lesson 1.doc (Included) Lesson 2 - Lower Ability (Emerging) - Some Two-Step problems, some simpler multi-step problems to work towards Year 5 Curriculum - Emerging Word Problems Lesson 2.doc (Included) Middle Ability (Developing) - Not included - use a pre-made resource from Twinkl. Higher Ability (Secure) - Multi-Step Problems Addition and Subtraction Secure Lesson 2 - Included. A flipchart containing Starters and Modelled Questions for both lessons is also included.

This is a WAGOLL that I wrote for a Survival Story mini topic in English. It is aimed at Year 5 children, and includes examples of skills we have learned in previous English lessons, these include (but are not limited to) parenthesis, figurative language, dialogue sentences, use of commas, fronted adverbials, subordinating conjunctions and relative clauses. Included in this file is: A plain version of the WAGOLL A highlighted version - key skills are highlighted to make it easier to analyse/to differentiate for lower ability. A WAGOLL analysis sheet created by me. A WAGOLL analysis flipchart created by me. Here is an excerpt from the survival story: When he finished speaking, I felt the first drop of rain hit me. The droplets were huge, looking like bullets falling into the ocean. Then a gust of wind threw some of them at me, making me cough and splutter. My heart felt as though it would explode from my chest as the ship lurched to the side once more. How would we ever make it through this storm? I heard my dad shout frantically, “Hold on!” and a wave of water crashed into the side and spilled over onto the ship. Suddenly the deck was covered in water, and it was quickly rising up against my legs. I didn’t know what to do. My sister (the brave and sensible one of our family) tried to wade through the water to our dad, who was trying to keep control of the boat. The white sails were billowing like pillowcases in the wind and the wooden sides were slippery and damp.

Originally written for a Y5 class, so the WAGOLL contains examples of various Y5 writing objectives. Could be tailored towards Y4 or Y6. Our focus is on suffixes, prefixes and homophones, so there are examples of these within the setting description. Some words/phrases magpied from the Grammarsaurus. There are also examples of: parenthesis semi-colons fronted adverbials subordinating conjunctions hyphenated words similes metaphors personification Use of 5 senses There is a highlighted version, where various words and phrases are highlighted, so that children can see where examples of the writing objectives have been used.

There are 2 model Year 5 texts included in this resource. One is told from Ayesha’s point of view. (Oranges in No Man’s Land). One is told from her little brother, Latif’s point of view. We had a big focus on prefixes (un, mis, dis, de, re) and homophones. The prefixes in the first are highlighted yellow. The prefixes in the second are highlighted yellow and the homophones are highlighted green. There are also examples of other Y5 writing objectives used throughout both examples, including: semi-colons, parenthesis, subordinating conjunctions, a variety of sentence types, direct speech, paragraphs, fronted adverbials, effective vocabulary, etc.

A selection of different Vocabulary lessons aimed at Year 5 Autumn Term 1 (though the words could be used at any time of the year!!) If you would like an idea as to which words have been used in these flip charts, please see my free resource here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/year-5-ht1-vocabulary-flipchart-information-words-11500841 There are 5 words per week, and each word contains slides for: definition, sentence in context, visual context, different contexts, a context that the children will understand, i.e. to do with school, etc (these may need adapting for your class!) and a question/discussion/SPaG related question.

4 weeks worth of Activ Inspire flip charts for Vocabulary lessons. This has been a huge focus in my school recently, to improve the vocabulary skills of our children. These words are set quite high, in line with the new National Curriculum. Originally aimed at Y5 children. They include words such as: bizarre, benevolent, lopsided and intact. They contain 5 words for each week. Each word contains a slide for: introducing the word, having the word in a sentence (context), showing an image and definition of the word, having the word in different contexts, having the word in a familiar context (may need adapting for your children), and a linked SPaG question. Contains many opportunities for reading, writing and SPaG links. NEW - now contains a 'potato' activity for each word (see cover image). The children are given 3 sentences with the new vocab words in, but the words have been replaced with the word 'potato'. The children have to use the sentence to figure out what the new word is.

A selection of differentiated success criteria. E = Emerging, D = Developing, S = Secure. This selection includes: A survival story Non Chronological report Diary Entry Persuasive Text Character Description The selection links to the English Y5 Curriculum.

This is a first introductory lesson to percentages for children who have very little prior knowledge. It contains an ActivInspire notebook, which makes use of visual models and images, questions to deepen understanding, and contains an activity page with activities for the higher and middle ability groups. Higher group = using numicon to make a hundred square and recording the FDP equivalence. Middle group = using hundred squares to colour in assorted percentages. Lower group = using hundred squares to cut up and show assorted percentages. Clear speaking & listening link between fractions and decimals. Included is a guidance sheet for the lower group and some small, blank hundred squares.

One flipchart for each week. Each flipchart contains 5 words, example sentences, sentences in context, linked SPaG questions, definitions, etc.

This resource is a WAGOLL Information text written by me, based on The Lost Thing by Shaun Tan. It includes skills we have been learning about in Year 5, such as: fronted adverbials, colons, subheadings, conjunctions and commas.

Differentiated Arithmetic Sessions. Most of the flip charts contain a teaching input for Arithmetic (often with models and images) and then questions that are differentiated 3 ways. There are also answers on most of the flip charts. Apologies if the font doesn’t come out right - we use a school-wide font!

ACTIV INSPIRE FLIPCHARTS. This is a whole introduction lesson to finding fractions of amounts using bar models. Activity is differentiated, with some Reasoning questions for each group. Flipchart contains an Addition Reasoning starter, as well as clear models and images, questions to deepen understanding, a chance to check children’s learning and a plenary. Includes numerators of 1 and more. NB: We use a school font so I have had to change it for TES. Apologies if there are any that I have missed.

Final lesson in a Mixed Numbers and Improper fractions unit. Combination of converting and calculating. Includes Fluency (Practise) questions, Use & Apply questions and Reasoning questions. Range of different questions includes calculations, word problems, missing number questions and problem solving.

This resource includes some activities and a flipchart, focussing on revision of calculations (from previous learning) and then moving onto showing fractions in a visual way, to help children develop their understanding of what a fraction actually is. This links to my Mixed Calculation Revision sheets resource.

This is an ActivInspire flipchart to help children to revise for their Arithmetic SATs test. It should be taught after children have learnt about fractions and how to add them together. Includes a teaching activity, independent work and answers.

An ActivInspire flipchart, beginning with a slide of pure Addition and Subtraction skills practise (involving some decimals and some inverse). Differentiated 2 ways. Next slide is the answers for children to self-check. 3rd slide is solving addition and subtraction problems and puzzles in different ways. 4th slide has the answers to these. Font is a schooled used font, so apologies if it looks a little strange! You will also need to change your table names for differentiation. Could be used for revision before an assessment, or as a diagnostic assessment to see where children are. Originally intended for Y5 children.
