Friendship tokens for children to colour in and cut out and exchange with one another - for example, when someone shared with them, when someone plays with them in the playground, when someone is kind to them.

A simple ten-week three-target chart for behaviour management or other achievements. Each week is numbered and you then add the date, a smiley, neutral or sad face to represent whether the target has been achieved, and a comment. For example, you might choose three targets such as ‘I will keep my desk tidy,’ ‘I will remember my homework,’ and ‘I will use joined-up writing’, and then you tick them off each week for ten weeks.

A simple yet engaging ‘trick’ for any age or ability, I’ve used this worksheet with KS1, 2 and 3. All the child needs to do is write any number in the star and then double and halve it according to the instructions, so this can be easily differentiated with different sizes of numbers. Why not challenge the more able pupils by giving special conditions for the starter numbers they come up with? ‘Must be odd’, ‘All the digits must add up to 17’, ‘No zeros’ etc. Hours of fun!

A funny news article about a fictional school which decides to serve rat meat for school dinners, yuck!

I used this with Y5/6 but it could be suitable for a variety of ages and abilities, depending on the specific features you choose to focus on. If you love this resource, please leave me a review!
