Three worksheets to help children imagine and describe what the Great Fire of London would have felt like. Encourages children to use their senses and imagination to think of adjectives to describe it. Differentiated with varying levels of scaffolding. Picture hand drawn by me.

Notebook, hide-the-verbs activity and worksheet included. My year one class loved this lesson - I hid the bossy verbs around the playground and the children had to find them all and do exactly as Little Miss Bossy instructs! We came back into the classroom and they thought of their own , recording on the worksheet, then came up with bossy verb sentences in talk partners. This led very nicely onto our work writing instructions about making Pumpkin Soup (eg. Cut up the pumpkin; boil the soup; blend the soup etc).

Worksheet ideal for KS1 work on seasons and tree types. Children can colour/draw the leaves on deciduous trees through the seasons, and then draw/colour the leaves on an evergreen tree. They then have the opportunity to explain how evergreen trees are different to deciduous trees.

Includes a colouring and drawing activity, as well as an opportunity to be challenged and explain why we give things up for lent, as well as exploring some of the history of Shrove Tuesday. All pictures hand drawn by me!

Two worksheets encouraging children to think about how the great fire of London spread (focusing on materials houses were made from in 1666). Children can find the ‘true’ statements about how the fire spread, and in the second worksheet they can design their own fire-proof house. Both hand drawn (by me!). Ideal for year 2 or for strong readers in year 1.

Storyboard to help children demonstrate that they understand what happened in the story of The Last Supper. Children can draw their own pictures to go along with the story and fill in the missing words. As an extra challenge, children could cut up their storyboard and stick it in their books in the right order! Perfect for KS1, and suitable for Catholic Education.

Three worksheets to help children to recognise and understand objects Christians use for worship (eg. Bible, instruments). Harder task relies on children being able to write sentences about what the objects are and how Christians use them. Middle task asks children to label objects for worship and write about how Christian use them. The lower ability task is a sorting activity where children choose which objects Christians might use and what they wouldn’t. I do not own any of the pictures included in these documents.

Three worksheets to support learning in year one on Christian symbols at Christmas. Most worksheets involve matching or filling in missing words, with higher sheet giving children opportunity to explain the significance of two of the symbols. Lesson worked well, we also had the symbols stuck on the walls around the room for children to spot and discuss in talk partners. They also matched them to the Christmas story as we read it through.
