9 full KS2 SATs Arithmetic tests. 36 questions in each paper. 30 mins to complete. Answers included. I hate paper waste so I have created these tests on one piece of paper for pupils to complete, rather than printing out arithmetic booklets that waste tons of paper. I have used these in a variety of ways: pupils have used jotters and maths books for working out then written their answers on the sheets; they have had 1 sheet between 2 and completed the whole test in maths books and I have also displayed the sheet on the iwb and pupils have made their way through the test.

70 Spelling activities to reinforce weekly spelling words. Can be used with EYFS, KS1, KS2, and KS3. Here is a large collection of spelling activities that can be used with a range of ages without much editing. I have tried to make them as interesting as possible by using fancy fonts, colours, images and GiFs. I have attached a few screen shots of some of the activities. The activities work best when shown on an ActivInspire Flipchart because there are GiF images and files attached, however, I have also converted the slides to PDF so all can use them. Some pages require you to add the spelling words, some do not. Please feel free to edit as you wish and suggest ways that this resource can be improved. I hope you enjoy them and get use out of them.

King’s Coronation Orienteering Game This game will last approx 30 minutes depending on the speed and team work of your pupils. Can be set up inside a school hall or outside on a playground or school field. You may wish to laminate the ppt pages once printed. How to play: Pupils can play either individually, in pairs or small teams. Give pupils a starting answer (left words) and they write this down on their sheet of paper (clipboards optional). Give these randomly to avoid pupils following each other round. Pupils find their starting word on the left hand side and look to the right for their next clue word. Remind them that it is a race so they may want to run. Once answer word is found they need to write this down then look to the right hand side for their next clue word. You may wish to get pupils to come back to check their answer order with you every 5 words or so to ensure they are doing it correctly. Pupils have completed the game if they complete the list of 35 words in the SAME order as the answer sheet (1st slide of ppt). There is only one correct order and it will work for all pupils/teams.

SLOW writing enables pupils to practice the skills they have learnt by using them in their writing. Pupils cannot move on to the next sentence unless that sentence contains the prescribed objective. This SLOW write activity allows pupils to add three of their sentence types/objectives that they must also include in their writing. SLOW write is helping the children in my class produce excellent pieces of writing and they love using it because they are realising that they can do it and it isn't difficult. I hope you find this resource of SLOW writing useful. As an NQT I would really appreciate feedback on this resource! Thanks.
