This resource could be used as a post test project, as an end of year activity or during money week to teach about saving money for a purpose.
A PowerPoint, bank statement and tasks sheet is included. These are used to guide students through the process of identifying where an example person could be saving money by focusing on what she needs, shopping around for the best deals and buying less. Students then get chance to find a house using property websites to suit her budget. Pupils will need access to the internet.
Suitable for upper KS2 and above.

This pack contains a baseline assessment, gap analysis spreadsheet, precision teaching booklet and interim tests. I have used these resources in Year 4 for years to ensure students make rapid progress with learning their times tables. These resources would work equally well in Year 5 and 6, but could also work in Year 2 and Year 3 if the relevant times tables are focused on.
Full instructions and answers are included as shown in the photos.
Students first complete a thorough baseline assessment, which is designed to immediately highlight the times tables that they need to learn. Then, students learn the relevant times tables using the precision teaching booklet, which helps them get each number fact into their long term memory. Precision teaching works best when it is done little and often, but it also works over longer more intense sessions. It can be done in pairs or with adult support, so it is perfect for whole class sessions, interventions or for use at home. Once students feel like they have learnt a times table, they can do short one minute interim tests to track their progress.

This is a full scheme of work with seven lessons aimed at Years 1 and 2, in which students design and make high fibre bread.
Pupils are taught to understand the principles of a healthy and varied diet (which is a national curriculum objective) during the following lessons…
To understand the principles of a healthy and varied diet
To increase the amount of fibre in a meal
To use sensory vocabulary to describe dried fruit
To analyse existing bread products
To design a bread product that meets the specification
To make a high fibre bread product
To evaluate your bread product
The scheme includes an optional taste testing session in which children use sensory vocabulary to describe the food. Also, children could follow a recipe in groups without adult support with the pictorial instructions that are included (in two versions for traditional bread method and packet bread mix). The instructions have ensured that my whole class practical cookery sessions are really calm.

This is a set of five reading comprehension tasks with answers, which focus on retrieving information, vocabulary and inferences. Each text has ten questions with it.
Each comprehension is about a different Jewish celebration (Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Passover, Hanukkah. Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah), so they could be used alongside learning in RE. These resources could also be used for reading lessons, for homework and/or as supply cover.
Please rate and comment.
