This bundle includes boho style lettering for your Maths Area as well as an interactive clock, a multiplication display and roman numerals pastel cards. This pastel, boho collection of display materials brights up the classroom as well as supports learning in any KS2 class room. The Roman Numerals go up to 20 individually, and then jump by 10 up to 100 and have 500 and 1000 too. The interactive clock should be laminated and the hands need a split pin through the middle so that children and adults can move the hands around the clock- making it interactive. It also shows the minute segments so that children can visually see how an hour is made up of 60 minutes.

This lesson bundle includes interactive and engaging lessons to get children to learn all about the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. I have used these lessons for a few years now and find that they are a great way to get children to use their disciplinary knowledge and historian skills. The first lesson gets the children to use their historian skills to firstly determine what the different types of crime and punishment were, by discussing sources. It then get them to evaluate which methods of punishment were the most useful to the anglo-saxons by using a diamond nine. The smart board acts as a lesson plan, using partner talk for discussions, explaining what the different photos were and then it explains what a diamond 9 is and how they can use it. The second lesson supports KS2 National Curriculum History Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom after Edward the Confessor’s death. The smart board begins with a quiz in prior knowledge of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. The children will then evaluate whether Edward the Confessor was a good king or a bad king by sorting through the different points as a group. This activity is included in the bundle. Finally, the children look at the 4 different claimants to the English thrown. 1 child will be each claimant and read the synopsis provided about that King. The rest of the class use the grid to evaluate which claimant is best suited to the role of King of England. It uses Historical skills such as understanding bias, revising previously taught knowledge and evaluating the different claimants to the thrown. The third lesson is linked to the National Curriculum for KS2 - the Viking and Anglo-Saxon struggle for the Kingdom of England to the time of Edward the Confessor. This lesson focuses on answering the question, “Did Alfred the Great deserved to be called ‘Great’?” The interactive smart board takes you step by step through the lesson as well as using partner talk and reminding children of key events in the Viking/ Anglo-Saxon struggle. Children will need to look at sources that you could put around the room, or on their tables. They will fill in the grid and answer questions about each source such as, “What is it?” and “What information can we learn from it?” At the end of the lesson the whole class will have a discussion about source bias before deciding whether Alfred the Great was truly Great? Focuses on 2 key historical skills - Understand methods of Historical enquiry and gather Historical data from various sources. The knowledge organiser supports the teaching of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. Includes a timeline, key people, key places and key vocabulary. Great to have on a working wall or display and refer to within lessons, or to stick into children’s books.

Both the This ‘Forgetful Santa’ booklet aims to support vocabulary acquisition of everyday items such as hats, boots, gloves as well as different colours. The children go through the booklet and identify what Santa has forgotten, and fill in the blanks for the sentence “Santa has forgotten his…” The final page includes extra fill in the blank sentences about Santa as well as space for children to experience writing their own sentences about Santa.This includes a word bank to support the children to work independently. Includes 2 work sheets for children with EAL or SEN. Children need to match the cut out gingerbread men with the digits on to match to the Gingerbread board that shows the pictorial representations of the numbers. This encourages subitising and supports children in linking the digits to the amount from 1-10. The second sheet focuses on children matching and learning the names of the different shapes. Children will need to cut the shapes out and match them to the named reindeer shapes above. All of these worksheets are a great starter activity or full lesson together when combined. Both encourage independent working and are linked specifically to the Standard 4 of the Pre-Key Stage standards.
