This is a step by step guide for an adult delivering a handwriting intervention to pupils in KS2. If you use a different font at your school then you can easily edit this on the word versions of each document, by highlighting the words and selecting your own school's font on your computer. This resource is aimed at pupils in KS2 who are not forming letters correctly and/or who are not joining letters correctly. This resource should be seen as a revision of existing knowledge and is not intended to be used at KS1. The resource has four pages: 1. Instructions 2. Progression through a set of individual words 3. Progression through writing whole sentences 4. A sheet for the adult to record the child's initial errors, dates and duration of sessions as well as the impact of the intervention.

I can't claim that this is mine, but it's very useful. I downloaded it from somewhere a couple of years ago. There are separate level 4 and 5 questions (and answers) to keep pupils up to speed over the Easter holidays.

I've gone through the mark schemes and pulled out key points for children to check for to be sure of securing a level 4 or level 5. I've separated it into three strands (as in the long writing) so that the children get the idea that they need to get everything in a particular group to secure the marks. Hope you find it useful! Level 3 now added.

This is a PowerPoint which gives infromation about Andy Warhol and also shos a range of his art. I’ve used it to inspire printing work in the style of the artist.

I have taken the punctuation progression straight from the new 2014 English for KS1 and KS2 and put it into the word document for easy viewing. I've put the progression of punctuation into a spread sheet, along with the year it should be taught, so that children&'s progress can be recorded.

This lesson is a fraction investigation and a simpler investigation, is included for any children who are unable to access the harder task. A detailed lesson plan accompanies the children's worksheets as well as all you will need for the whiteboard. The main investigation involves children exploring which fractions can be made from the total number of Smarties, e.g. 1/2 of 40, 1/4 of 40, 1/5 of 40, 1/8 of 40, 1/10 of 40, 1/20 of 40, 1/40 of 40 and linking these to the factors of a number. They also draw conclusions about which of the numbers are prime numbers and give reasons for this. Once they have done one number they eat a Smartie and start again. Whiteboards and pens are required for the warm up activity (on IWB resource). Each child also needs a box of mini Smarties (available in multipacks). The simple investigation looks at which numbers it is possible to find 1/2 of with the children looking for patterns, e.g. even numbers, multiples of 2.

I looked everywhere for a number square that went up to 200, as it's bridging the hundred that causes the issue for my Year 2's! In the end I made one myself. Hope it&'s useful!

Here are a set of resources that I made to go with Katie Morag and the Two Grandmothers. It covers: character; connectives; planning using story mountain; setting; dialogue. I have included a plan for the first week. We finished after three weeks, by writing our own Katie Morag story.

Useful collection of Powerpoints I found ages ago for Primary. Only one or two my originals! There are lots more (see my resources). 1st point perspective, African masks, pattern pandas, analagous colours, busts, Calder, Cassatt, Cezanne, Chagall, Character design, Colours, Complementary colours, contour lines, cow parade, DaVinci, drawing animals. Expressionism, Facial proportion, Fauves, Frank Lloyd Wright

This comprehension has a mixture of straightforward retrieval questions and inferential questions. There are three different levels to cater for different ability groups.

Part two of a huge collection of Art POwerpoints I found at some point. One or two are mine I think! See my resources for more. Functional Art, Grant Woods, Gustav Klimt, Jasper Johns, Joan Miro, Landscape silhouettes, landscapes, linoleum block printing, M.C.Escher, Manikins, Man made patterns, Matisse, Mondrian, Monet, neutrals, Oaxacon animals, O Keefe, Oneida Iroquois, Op Art

This is a transcript of all the SATs mental questions up to 2008. They are grouped into strands and I have split them up into easy, medium and hard. Topics also included; Knowing and using number facts.

I use phonicsplay resources a lot for phonics and they suggested using a dicatation passage to assess the correct phase for children by looking at unaided writing. I decided to write something for my class which incorporates a number of words we have encountered on our way through phase 5c. I will use the guidelines from phonicsplay (attached) to assess.

These are two lesson plans (Yr 4 data handling and Yr 5 Number). Both lessons use Smarties as a fun way of tackling fractions and also have specific guidance on how to extend your more able mathematicians.

This is a list of all the reading and writing tasks for KS2 SATs, since 1998. It is useful when you're planning revision to know what's gone before! You can find copies of the papers from 2003 onwards on the site below http://www.st-josephs-pickering.n-yorks.sch.uk/past_test_papers.htm

These are very simple fact cards for KS1. I have used the photos for descriptive writing and also for a class story based on Julia Jarman's Year 2 at the zoo (we go on safari).

This is a PowerPoint showing 20 different examples of Islamic prayer mats.

This is a PowerPoint of various tessellations which is great for illustrating the work of Escher.

Here are the downloads of the sheet music for the the Commonwealth Jubilee song 'Sing&' and the accompanying MP3 file for the backing track. I&';ve also put the words onto a PowerPoint.

I made sets of these cards and gave them to the children to sort chronologically. I used them as an introduction to writing biographies.
