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.

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.

Cross curricular maths lesson - Anglo-Saxon shield fractions. Lesson flipchart available on TES.

I created this piece of music to use with my year 2 class during their study of the Titanic. We used the music in PE to create an interpretive dance to. They absolutely loved it, especially the boys! The piece of music goes through the journey of the Titanic, from it setting sail and crowds wishing the passengers luck, to the fun on the ship including the Irish party, then the Titanic seeing and hitting the iceberg and finally to the disaster of it sinking. All created using sound effects and music.

cross curricular orienteering clues - 2D and 3D shapes 10 orienteering clues for OAA PE lessons with 10 flags and score cards for teams of 2. I laminated the flags, hole punched, attached string then dotted them around the school field attached to the fence, trees and other objects. I then paper clipped the shape clues to the flags. I gave each pair of children a different shape which they then had to find the properties for and the number of the flag that the clues were attached to. Aimed at KS2.

Years 5 and 6 spellings split up in to weeks for the full year. Spelling practice sheets attached for pupils to use look, say, cover, write, check for each day of the week when handed out on a Monday and tested on a Friday. Spelling practice sheet also includes the opportunity for pupils to practice writing two of their spellings each week in a sentence that makes sense. The sheets could be printed out and made in to an A3 or A5 booklet for each child for the whole year, or printed out and handed out individually each week. Created to fit with the school holiday dates for Lancashire but will be easy to adapt for your area. Blank spelling practice sheet included.

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.

Long multiplication lesson suitable for years 4,5 and 6. The flipchart slides include a maths starter, teaching slides, main activity, challenge and plenary. The main activity is to work out the total running time for different running paces between 14 to 3 mins per mile. This includes multiplying decimals by up to two digits. Challenge: 3km is a good distance to run. This is the same as 1.9 miles. Calculate the total time for each of the paces.

Links to cross curricular theme - Amazon rainforest. This is a challenging maths activity where pupils have to calculate how long the journey takes from Manchester airport to Manaus airport in the Amazon rainforest. Pupils will have to calculate up to 3 different flights per journey and include any layover or connection times in their final total journey time answer. On the activity worksheet, there are six different journeys all with the same destination. Pupils could be further challenged by calculating which journey is the quickest/slowest and order them. The flight times have been taken from the internet and were accurate on 22nd April 2017. We have been reading Journey to the River Sea in class and Maia (main character) in the book travels from England to Manaus, so this activity is a great link.

I created this resource for use in my class library as an incentive to get children reading a variety of fiction books from different authors and in different genres. As part of my reading area, I have a dislay showing the Top 100 books to read before leaving Year 5 (current year group that I teach) with space for children to add their names when they have read a book. I have the majority of the books in the Top 100 in the library, so these books have one of the special bookmarks in them so they are clear to pick out. I printed the bookmarks out on coloured card and stuck gold stars on them.
