This activity is a Design Technology Activity which requires children to select materials from a virtual 'shop’ and collaborate to plan and build a bridge that will span a distance between two chosen points. I’ve included an information sheet outlining this DT activity. I've also added a planning sheet for pupils and an excel spreadsheet for teachers to record the results of this activity should they wish to assess it or turn it into a competition...who wouldn’t? As a free resource this has had over 7500 downloads. It has been updated and is a 'ready-to-go' resource with everything you need to have a great afternoon.

This 'ready-to-go' resource includes everything you need to get going on a really exciting maths investigation linked to probability. The basic idea is that children 'bet' a fictitious £1 to guess which colour counter will be pulled from a bag.

More Fraction Word Problems with answers

(0)
This is a set of 18 fraction word problems suitable for children in years 4, 5 operating at greater depth & children in year 6 operating between age related expectations and greater depth in the national curriculum. I've used it with my year 6 class and even the very brightest children were challenged by some of the questions. These questions are good ways to test if a child is operating at greater depth. As a free resource this had over 83,000 downloads. It has been updated with the answers included and is a 'ready-to-go' resource.

Contained in this resource are two attractive maths loop games. These games are 'tried and tested' and are ideal as a fun maths starter or plenary. Game 1 – Roman Numerals. Game 2 – Pairs of numbers that total to 100. You can use these games to assess your children on whether they know the following statements from the Year 3 and 4 Mathematics Programme of Study; • read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of 0 and place value • Solve problems including missing number problems These resources are 'ready-to-go' simply download, print off, cut up and laminate and let the fun begin. In my experience classes love the challenge of beating their best time on these games.

Key Stage 2 Boot Camp Indoor PE Fitness Circuit

Key Stage 2 Boot Camp Indoor PE Fitness Circuit

(0)
Here is everything you need to create a really fun fitness circuit in a small space. An ideal resource of those wet PE lessons when all you have is the hall available. This resource includes an individual pupil record sheet for a circuit of activities I’ve called the 'Boot Camp’ Circuit. It includes 9 different stations, each has a description of the activity and an equipment list. We have a small hall and this can be set out with limited space. I’ve included a floor plan. This could cater for up to 36 pupils with 2 pairs of pupils completing each of the 9 activities one at a time! I’ve also added picture cards which can be put at each station, and to encourage reading skills they each contain a brief description of each activity. These activities can be changed to suit the equipment you have at your disposal. As a free download this had over 37,000 downloads and has been updated and is a ‘ready-to-go’ resource. Enjoy!
