Lots of activities looking at counting on and back in steps of 10, 100, 1000, 10 000 and 100 000 from any given number up to 1 000 000.
There are a number of Mastery tasks and a Greater Depth task for more able pupils to move onto.
These activities put statistics in a real life context.
There is a table of data showing how many customers visited Frankie and Benny’s on Saturday and Sunday.
This data can be used to create a line graph. Higher ability children could create one with two lines, one for each day. As an extension, there are questions (small sticker format) to answer about the data.
For children who progress quickly there is also a separate mastery activity, answering questions using a line graph.

These resources look at people’s relationships with food and how this can become problematic. The powerpoint looks at anorexia including causes, harmful side effects and recovery. It encourages children to think positively about themselves and others. The main activity asks children to create a ‘recipe’ for a healthy body image and is differentiated three ways.
Please note I do not own any of the images used in these resources.
These resources allow children to show what they already know about the dangers of smoking and build on this. There is a quiz at the start and then a link to a very effective poster by anti-smoking campaigners showing the effects of smoking on children and teenagers.

Presentation gives advice on creating strong passwords and why this is important.
My children had access to an online house points account so we created passwords for this but the slide that mentions this could be changed accordingly.
There is also a quiz which I used as a starter to see how knowledgeable my children were.
The final activity I suggest here is a poster with all of the advice they have learned.

Top tip: Keep in the same place throughout year and refer to it as often as possible when model writing.
This resource can be used either at the start of a topic as a baseline or at the end of a topic to assess learning. The questions relate to different Year 3 geography and history objectives such as identifying the equator, naming the 7 continents, comparing lives of people in the past etc.
Most of the questions place these skills in the context of volcanoes, e.g. Pompeii
This resource may also give you ideas for linking objectives to this topic and activities you could do in the classroom.
These resources relate to the Year 3 Maths curriculum but could easily be tweaked to suit similar objectives in other year groups.
The activities require children to use their reasoning skills and decide how to solve the problem e.g. count on or back?
They place this skill in a fun context using objects that appeal to children’s interests (such as Shopkins) before moving onto more challenging problems.
A fantastic resource for more able children to move onto!
Please note, 2 of the files are formatted to print on stickers (11 per sheet) as this seems to be increasingly popular in schools but questions can be easily copy and pasted onto any format.
This resource requires children to cut up information (and subheadings for more able) and group them into the correct paragraphs. It is differentiated 3 ways to support different abilities.
The writing concerns facts about volcanoes. Pictures used are from Twinkl.
A two part activity that requires pupils to identify the abstract verb n each sentence. They will then be given a choice of abstract verbs to use in sentences.
A good activity for more able pupils to complete during grammar lessons on verbs.
Two activities based on using inference and deduction. Both have been differentiated slightly for higher and lower ability pupils.
The first activity gives a situation. Children have to use clues to decide how the character is feeling and what must have happened to them.
The mastery activity uses a paragraph of fiction in a familiar setting. There are test-style questions underneath, with more scaffolding/multiple choice for lower ability pupils.
Comprehension questions for chapter 11 and chapter 12 up to page 47 for Fantastic Mr Fox. Questions cover a range of reading skills and are differentiated for higher and lower.
Each activity has 2 versions - a sticker version and a normal A4 plain paper version
The powerpoint introduces pupils to this skill including why it is important. There is an example which models the first activity well.
The first activity is differentiated for higher and lower ability pupils.
The mastery activity has less scaffolding and again is differentiated two ways.
Finally there is an application booklet which has test style questions based on this reading skill.
Booklet with non-fiction text on Pompeii and retrieval question.
Each question states how many marks can be gained.
The HA booklet has less multiple choice questions. The SEN booklet has multiple choice questions and the text is shorter with fewer tricky words.
