KS2 teacher working in the UK. My resources vary from basic starters to full, detailed lesson plans for a variety of year groups for the UK Primary School age range.
This resource is for Year 5 and includes a variety of resources covering gestation (humans and animals), puberty, and old age developments. This resource includes: a topic cover page, 2 lesson plans, 2 lesson powerpoints, a variety of worksheets, and a differentiated worksheet. The lesson plans are detailed but can easily be reduced. The learning objectives are: 'to know what happens during pregnancy and explore the gestation periods of different animals' and 'to consider the changes that take place during puberty and old age'. This resource covers the statutory requirement: 'describe the changes as humans develop to old age' (DfE, 2013), as well as some aspects of working scientifically. The resources are all designed to be used together.
Ideal for Year 1, these PPT documents can be printed as normal due to its A4 size format. Both can easily be laminated and reused.
There are two games included: Snakes and Ladders (number bonds to 10 only) and Match Me (number bonds to 10 and 20).
The Snakes and Ladders game requires two dice. If they roll a number bond to 10, they can move 2 spaces, if they roll an odd number they can only move 1 space, any other is 0 spaces. This allows the children to secure their knowledge of number bonds to 10 as well as odd numbers in a fun and familiar context.
The Match Me game includes two sheets (bonds to 10 and bonds to 20). Both have 2 sets per page. These cards could then also be used in an interactive whole class game in which the teacher calls a number, and the children must find the number to make the bond to 10. Similarly, they could do this in their pairs as a quick lesson starter.
This resource provides a great final activity to check for the understanding of and competency in identifying number bonds to 10 and 20. The sheets have a missing component of the number bonds with the number corresponding to a colour. This is great for the children to improve their familiarity with numbers, seeing the number bond as an entire calculation and finding missing digits with the added advantage of colouring.
There are 4 worksheets in total with answer sheets:
Number bonds to 10 (higher and lower)
Number bonds to 20 (higher and lower)
The âlowerâ worksheets have less items to consider allowing them to use whiteboards and any other resources to support their workings to find the answer. Each sheet has a question encouraging them to consolidate their learning.
The higher Number bonds to 20 sheet also contains a mixture of single and double missing digits for the bonds to 20.
The worksheets are provided in a PPT format however the size is set to A4 allowing them to be printed as normal.
Worksheet to practice and revise addition and subtraction fact families to 10 and 20.
Includes an extension to encourage the children to use what they know to work more independently.
Sheets can be used on their own or combined to get equal practice for related facts to 10 and 20.
Visual aids to match the exact pictures used (socks, apples etc.) can also be found in my shop under âFact Families Visual Aidâ
In both PowerPoint and PDF format and comes with answers for ease of marking.
KS2 Geography (with links to Religious Education and History). This resource includes a PowerPoint presentation (including teacher notes) introducing Europe and its countries, a relevant worksheet to accompany the PowerPoint, and a cross-curricular plan for Geography, History and Religious Education.
Learning objectives for this lesson and resource are linked to the National Curriculum: locating European countries on a map, identifying human and physical characteristics of European countries, and comparing geographical similarities and differences between European countries including the United Kingdom.
To benefit fully from this resource I recommend using the link in the PowerPoint to locate the map of Europe to print and photocopy for the children to have one each, as with the Geography Worksheet.
Year 3. This resource includes the lesson plan and the relevant accompanying worksheet.
This lesson gives the children the opportunity to create their own scenes as they are using their imaginations in response to the video clip they are shown, developing different Drama skills such as hot seating, improvisation, performing and evaluation. It provides them with opportunities to perform to âa range of audiencesâ by improvising in smaller groups during hot seating, and performing their scenes to the wider group (ACE, 2003).
This resource is designed to be used alongside the cross-curricular links to both Music and Art also through the Rainforest theme. Having a theme such as the Rainforest can give children a broad concept to work with so that they have the opportunity to explore the theme in a way that suits their learning style. Using the Rainforest theme can allow the children to access their appropriate KS2 expectations to âproduce work with a clear story line and structureâ, and following the theme through the activity provides the children with the opportunity to engage more with their characters (ACE, 2003).
This bundle is designed to be used alongside an after school club primarily, however there are elements that could easily be used individually. The idea is to provide an opportunity for those who may not have the opportunity to travel or experience other cultures to do so in an exploratory and fun context with their peers. There are many simple and free ways in which the classroom can be transformed to support the context of being on an aeroplane such as moving chairs, lights off, belt checks and these can go a long way to supporting the theme and creating an exciting atmopshere.
Included:
Session plans
Introductory PowerPoint-Travelling by Aeroplane
PowerPoints for each country (Spain, Mexico, China, U.S.A)
Passport Templates
Boarding Pass Templates
Flag Templates
The children should be encouraged to colour and use their âPassportâ to document their travels, the document should be printed, cut and stapled together to make their whole passport. They should also be given a boarding pass at the beginning of their âflightâ. These passes are editable allowing you to change the departing airport and names.
The flags will be coloured and the children must choose each week the correct flag to stick in their passport. Their pages allow space for the draw/write about their âvisitâ and include key information to share.
Each country PPT includes examples of must-see areas, language translations, key facts (currency and capital) and an example of a popular food. The session plans outline ways in which the classroom can be transformed as well as incorporating food testing. Should you wish to use food samples, a permission slip has also been included to hand out to parents.
I really hope you find this resource useful should you decide to set up a Travel Club- I would love to see it in action. If you download this resource could you also post a review, as this really helps to ensure the best content is available.
This resource is a Year 6 Mathematics lesson plan on Geometry: Properties of Shapes. Included in this resource is: A detailed lesson plan including lesson objectives, outcomes, starter, main activity and timings (based on a 1 hour lesson).
There is also two types of worksheets differentiated based on ability. The Green Sheet (as detailed in the lesson plan) is for the lower-ability children, and the Blue Sheet is for the higher-ability children, with the opportunity for you to decide on the activity most appropriate for those children in the middle. The activity itself is for the majority the same, as is the final outcome, and the basic knowledge of the topic. The worksheets come as two sets of Green and Blue, one set is a Task List of the activities, the second is a Worksheet with space for answers/drawings removing the need for books during the lesson. For those children who are significantly struggling there is also a Net Guidance Sheet.
The learning objectives (DfE, 2014) for this lesson are:
1. To recognise, describe and build 3-D shapes
2. To make nets for 3-D shapes
3. To draw 2-D shapes using given dimensions and angles
A free download of one of the worksheet sets is available for you to take a look at before you buy, however the lesson plan helps considerably as does having the differentiated worksheet. If you do choose to download this resource or the free one I would really appreciate it if you could leave a review.
Resources for a class display, ideal for transition day activities.
Each child writes their name on the crayon and draws their picture in the circle. They then colour in the crayon. All are then laminated, lined up on 3/4 rows and placed together as though they were in a box. They can also be curved and stapled down to give a 3D effect. Add a section at the bottom to make the crayon box (this can be flat but ideally would be 3D).
Print the âCrayon Display Textâ (you can choose either the outlined version or filled). Ensure it is printed in A3 and add to your box.
Year 3. This resource includes the lesson plan and the relevant accompanying worksheet. It provides the children with the opportunity to âexplore a variety of materials, tools and techniques, experimenting with colour, design, texture, form, and functionâ (DfE, 2014). They have the opportunity explore an artist who paints with the Rainforest as inspiration linking directly with the theme. Using their sketchbooks to develop their ideas and create a final piece is appropriate for KS2 children and contributes to their Art subject objectives (DfE, 2013). The specific activities and resources provide opportunities for the children to develop their skills, thought processes and evaluation abilities, which are valued across the curriculum.
This resource is designed to be used alongside the cross-curricular links to both Music and Drama also through the Rainforest theme. Having a theme such as the Rainforest can give children a broad concept to work with so that they have the opportunity to explore the theme in a way that suits their learning style.
To get the most from this lesson plan you will need to create the PowerPoint listed in the resources.
Year 1 key words on a neutral wooden background for display.
There are two files each with a different font to allow for schools without access to the Sassoon font originally used.
Year 3 radio broadcast lesson plan. It includes the context that the lesson needs to be taught in in terms of what they already know, the resources required, the introduction, and final part of the lesson. This lesson plan contributes to their Year 3 Narrative Unit 1. It aims to develop their use of appropriate vocabulary for the context, and their ability to identify the key elements of an informative broadcast and the language used in terms of how it can create a change in focus. A large focus for this lesson plan is the development of their speaking and listening skills in terms of performing to the group, working in a group, and listening to others and their feedback.
This resource includes a lesson plan for the introduction of bar charts with timings and key vocabulary. Also included is a worksheet for the children to work on during the lesson with guidance and modelling.
The resource is most suited to Year 4 children but could be adapted to suit other year groups. It fits well with the Tables lesson that can be found in my TES shop.
This resource is part of the Tables and Bar Charts Bundle in my TES shop which includes this lesson, the tables lesson, and the final consolidation lesson with worksheets.
I hope you find this resource useful and I would greatly appreciate a review!
This resource can be used in a Drama session or before a writing task linked to The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt. They can be teacher read in a whole group for younger children or used independently in small groups.
This bundle includes three lesson plans with resources to be used with the cross-curricular rainforest theme. Art, Drama and Music are all covered in this bundle. All individual lesson plans can be found on their own in my shop however purchasing the entire bundle is cheaper and more beneficial in terms of its fluidity.
This resource comes with a lesson plan for the Year 2 topic Uses of Everyday Materials (DfE, 2014) and is done in detail with timings, materials, learning objectives, learning outcomes, links to other areas of the curriculum, the science process skills, new vocabulary underlined, and the activity itself.
The activity should be set up as a circus of activities with four tables set up differently for each activity (to be done before the lesson).
With this resource there is also a risk assessment (feel free to edit as you feel necessary), and an Everyday Materials Worksheet to be used alongside the plan.
This lesson plan and subject area in particular is ideal for joining with a Design and Technology lesson in making a bird feeder, and as such there are references to that in this lesson plan.
This lesson also requires the use of a TA where possible due to the use of water.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could review this resource whether you use it or simply download it. Also, if there are any issues with the worksheet itself due to the varying differences in Microsoft Word, please do let me know by contacting me and I will try to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
A fantastic starter for Year 4 children who have been introduced to fractions of quantities, or as a recap for Year 5 children.
It allows the children to work in pairs and use the starter as a game to practice their ability to calculate fractions of quantities.
Included is two separate documents, one is for higher ability (HA) and the other for lower ability (LA).
Each document has two sets of the game on one sheet allowing the required number of sheets to simply be printed. Printing them on coloured paper can also make it more interesting for the children. Laminating them and keeping them in envelopes/plastic pouches can keep the individual games together and allow them to be used over and over again.

This worksheet belongs with it's original full resource set which you can find on my profile that comes with a differentiated worksheet, and a lesson plan.
An activity worksheet for Year 6 Geometry: Properties of Shapes in relation to 3-D nets and 2-D shapes. It comes with two documents, one is a Worksheet which gives space for the answers/drawings, the other is a Task List with the same activities but the work itself will be done in their books.
This worksheet as it stands is more of a free taster, but there is no reason why it cannot be used on its own.
This resource is simply an extra practice sheet (with a separate answer sheet) for students who simply need a few more practice questions to solidify their knowledge and understanding. It is most appropriate for Year 5 however can be adapted to suit other years. Some of the questions are taken from the Rising Stars programme pupil workbooks.
This sheet is handy for the student to either work on during spare time they may have/homework club, or can be set as casual homework to be gone through together or marked together at a later date.
It is worth noting that I put together this sheet originally for a student who asked for more help, it was not extra work given, it was provided at their request, and that is how I wish for this sheet to be distributed to any other students.
