Library Challenge Cards
These ‘Library Challenge’ cards were made for my class library, but they could be used in a school library as well. The idea was just to get the children excited about reading and properly engaged with the books, and they’ve really enjoyed working through the activities – an added bonus being that I use this work to decorate the walls of our library.
There’s a selection of 10 Library Challenge Cards, plus a ‘Library Challenge of the Week’ which just allows for changing things up a little without having to print and laminate more cards.

SPAG Powerpoint for Starters/Short activites
A set of approximately 300 Powerpoint slides for teaching SPAG topics in starters or short teaching sessions.
Each topic includes a slide or two of teaching plus an activity slide based on the learning in that session (some, more complicated topics, run over a few days). The slides and tasks have been created for a short 15 minute SPAG session but could also be used as starters or in literacy lessons. At the end of each block of 4 topics is a quiz slide (which, if covered daily, would be a Friday session) which recaps the previous 4 topics covered.
WAGOLL Newspaper
This is a WAGOLL newspaper article, written using the beginning of the story of Kensuke's Kingdom (by Michael Murpurgo), but could be used as an example for any newspaper writing unit.
Possible uses:
- to annotate features of a newspaper
- as a model for writing own newspaper articles
- to critique - what is good and not-so-good about this article?
P.s. The family is not called 'Finnegan' in Kensuke's Kingdom - we are not told their surname so I made one up!

This game allows children to practice rounding to 10/100/1000. Give each pair a sheet of cards, cut up. They should make two separate piles; one of the smaller cards and one of the larger cards. For each turn, the player turns over one small card and one large card, and completes the task, e.g.
Small card = 637
Large card = Round to the nearest 10
Answer = 640.
Replace the cards to the bottom of the piles and repeat with the other player.
