Tokens to encourage your class to read more! When children have finished their card, they can trade it in for a treat (for you to decide).

An A4 activity sheet for maths. You choose a number for the week and children have to fill in the relevant information such as: The number written in words The number of ones/tens/hundreds/thousands the ‘number of the week’ has The number written in expanded form 10/100 more and less than the ‘number of the week’ Placing the number on a number line Representing the number in different ways (this sheet has a bar model and place value counters but this can be changed to dienes, abacus etc.) Writing a word problem with the ‘number of the week’ as the answer This document can be edited to suit the needs of your class. I use mine as an early morning task for children to complete as they come into class and settle themselves for the day.

A short story on PowerPoint explaining how ‘Roger Rock’ becomes ‘Simon Soil’. There is also a storyboard on a word document which explain the process of how soil is made - children just need to draw their own pictures. I used this in a Year 3 science lesson and the children loved making their own storyboards!

Does anyone else get asked (especially at the start of the year) for lots of help from their pupils? I use this poster to “train” my class to use different things in the classroom before coming to myself/my TA for support. I put large copies up on display and smaller copies on tables. Both writing and pictures makes the poster accessible for all abilities! Enjoy!
