This worksheet comprises of a fill in the blanks paragraph all about electrical conductors and insulators, a space for a experiment setup diagram and a results table. The children are expected to complete the fill in the blanks activity first. You could help them out by providing a word bank on the board/projector. They should then draw a circuit which will enable them to test the conductivity of different materials. For this you will ideally need some batteries, wires and either a motor, LED or Light bulb. I usually have children work in pairs for the experiment but complete their own worksheet. Before testing the materials the children have selected they need to make a prediction or hypothesis about whether their material will conduct electricity or not. *This document is fully editable so you can make changes where you please. *

This worksheet contains the five elements of a story along one side and on the other are paragraphs from an example adventure story called, Amy’s Adventures in Egypt. Children need to read the excerpts and match them up with the correct part of the story. *This document is fully editable so you can edit things as you please. *

This worksheet allows children to write down an idea and action plan for a New Year’s resolution. I do this with my children each year but encourage them to only choose one resolution, which is relevant and challenging, but not too much so. Once they have decided, they then write a detailed action plan for how to see it through. We then revisit what they wrote at a later date to check on their progress. Part A) What is your New Year’s Resolution? Example sentence starters: This year, I really want to… I want to be better at… I want to learn how to… Part B) What is your action plan? What steps will you do to make sure your resolution is successful?

This is a spinning wheel which is made of two parts, an top wheel which has a window and a door and a bottom wheel which has the questions and answers on respectively. Instructions: a) Print out the template on card. b) Children then write an operation, for example, 3x6 in the inner section, and write the answer in the outer section. Complete each part of the pie with other operations. c) Cut out the sections of other top wheel except the dotted line which will be a fold for the door. (You may need a cuter or Stanley knife for this). d) Use a push pin to attach the wheels together so they will spin. Decorate the wheels and then cut out. Usage: With the little flap door closed, spin or turn the top wheel to reveal an operation. Try and answer it before opening the flap to reveal the correct answer. *I usually use this for children to review a the more difficult of the timestables but it could be adapted for other short question and answers that require a bit of rote learning. It just makes it all that more fun to do. *

This worksheet comprises two parts. The first is a fill in the blanks section where ideally the children test objects using a light source and fill in with the help of the words from the table. The second part can also involve some testing done throughout the day or could be done after the fact. It involves drawing where the sun would be at different times of the day and then drawing an object and its corresponding shadow. Children learn about the ways that a shadow can be affected and how and relate it to the shadows of objects caused by everyday objects blocking light from the sun. As an extra fun activity, have the children draw around their own shadows at different points during the day. It helps to have a compass too to record the direction the sun is shinning in. *This download comes as both a PDF and a fully editable DOC, so you can change it to suit your needs. *

This worksheet entails children finding objects in the classroom to first fit a certain length range - Less than, more than and between lengths. Second, it asks that children find other objects and record and measure the exact length using a ruler or tape measure. It also has a column where they can estimate or predict the length of the object. I usually use it as an follow up to an introduction to length, measuring and measuring tools. It’s perfect for teaching about the phrases; less than, greater, than, equal to as well as how to estimate and to measure length using various tools. The download comes both as a PDF and fully editable DOC, so you can make changes as you please.

As it says on the can! Can be used to follow up nearly any kind of field trip. Includes spaces for basic information such as where and when as well as spaces for likes, dislikes, lessons learned and a box for a drawing.

Four A4 pages of general information about how we measure length and with what, as well as what units we use. Used as a wall display to act as a reference for the children, when they’re learning about length in maths. *The document is fully editable. *

Two editable timeline templates for ordering events. Can be edited in Word or printed as a blank template for students to write on. The first is a timeline with editable text boxes either side. The second is an editable flow chart.

Parts of Speech Grouping - Box for recording 16 words with a table underneath for sorting the words under the correct part of speech. Could be used for grouping in many other ways though too! Fill in the Blanks - Generic template with space for 12 words to be used to fill in the blanks of your own text underneath. Naming Groups - 10 rows with the option of putting 4 words (that can be grouped in some way) in each. Students have to name the group. Odd One Out - 10 rows with the option of putting 4 words in, with one being the odd one out of the group. Students have to identify the odd one out by circling it.

Practical worksheet for comparing the masses of various objects that can be found in the classroom. Children select objects to compare using a set of scales. They have to find objects that are heavier than, equal too and lighter than. Used to help teach about comparing mass and using scales. Comes as a fully editable DOC and also in PDF format. *Ideally requires the children to use a set of balance-beam scales, although any type of scale for measuring mass could be used. *

This worksheet involves questions that relate to the text of Pie Corbett’s Storm Unicorn. The questions cover basic recall and then move onto more advanced comprehension skills such as inference. The final section leaves a space for the children to attempt to draw the Storm Unicorn based on the details of the report. It encourages children to think flexibly and relates the plight of the unicorn with that of rhino’s. It also opens up a wealth of discussion surrounding that point too. I usually use this after the children have read, mapped and analysed the report in detail first. It acts a good gauge for their understanding. *The document is fully editable so you can change questions as you please. *

We study the Storm Unicorn by Pie Corbett during literacy. Leading up to this we look at other examples before the children write their own (non-chronological) report with the aid of the text. This is a re-write of the Storm Unicorn called the Candy Unicorn. Sub-titles have been added in as we encourage the use of them for better organisation. There is also another report by Pie Corbett called the Frost Unicorn which we use in addition to this as another example report text. The document is fully editable so you can change parts as you please.

This worksheet comprises of three activities relating the oceans and continents of the world. The activities are as follows: a) Anagrams of the oceans and continents of the world. b) Label a world map with the oceans and continents of the world. c) Choose three continents and write down three countries for each. Children may need an atlas or access to Google Maps or existing world map for this. It serves as a review or follow-up to an introduction to the oceans and continents of the world. Children are expected to know the names of the of them all, how to spell them and be able to locate them on a map of the world. The document is mostly editable so you can change some of the parts to suit your children’s needs.

This worksheet uses the game of darts to help consolidate knowledge of addition and subtraction. It can be used with or without a real board and darts. You could even use an online game instead. It really helps add some extra enjoyment to maths! The first section of the worksheet involves getting accustomed to the board - knowing what each section of the board is worth. This involves some multiplying by two and three for doubles and triples, but repeated addition could be used for younger learners. The second part of the sheet involves calculating a score of three darts and then subtracting that total from 101, which is this particular game of darts. The final part involves continuing the game and trying to finish with exactly zero. A professional game of darts usually finishes with a double but it could be a single number to make it more likely new players can finish. The worksheet comes in a DOC format, so most parts are easily editable.

This colourful worksheet is made up of 5 addition word problems of increasing difficulty. For each problem, the children are expected to draw a bar model using the template provided and then show their workings and answer, again using a provided outline. The final question involves children creating their own word problem for their friend to try and solve using the same methodology, The worksheet works even better if accompanied with manipulatives such as Base 10 blocks. The LO is for the children to be able to solve addition based word problems with the help of bar models. The document is fully editable so names, numbers and questions can be changed to suit your children’s needs.

The Challenge This Code Breaker Challenge is made up of 4 challenge sheets, each containing three sets of questions about addition as well as an instruction section written in code. There is also a final challenge sheet for obtaining the master lock key. The Setup Ideally, the Code Breaker Challenge requires a box which can be locked with four three digit combination locks and one padlock. See the attached picture as an idea for the setup. It could however be done without this, but wouldn’t be quite as fun for the children. How to Use Fill the box with treasure, for example some sweets and then setup the combinations on each of the locks and lock the box with them and the master lock. Split the class up into four teams and provide each team with one of the challenge sheets. Start a timer of approximately 30 minutes (depending on the ability and age of your class). Each team works together to solve the challenge and tell the teacher the three digit code. If they got it correct, they may open their lock. If not, then they will need to check their answers. Once all four combination locks have been opened, or even after the first team has finished, provide the master lock challenge. If they complete it correctly and within the time, they can then have the master lock key to open the treasure box. Great Fun! The children absolutely love the Code Breaker Challenge and we repeat it at the end of every major maths unit. They really need to work together and check their work carefully if they are to succeed in opening the box and retrieving the treasure within. The documents is fully editable so you can use it as a template to create your own challenges if you like. You can also use it for other subjects as well, but it definitely lends itself to maths the most. I hope you and your children enjoy it as much as mine do! This challenge is one in many. Please take a look at my shop for other units. Thank you.

This worksheet is made up of pictures of 5 real electric circuits. The main idea is for children to look at the photos and then use the provided symbols to draw the corresponding electrical circuit diagrams. The symbols are provided in a table at the beginning of the worksheet and there are questions after each circuit. Questions probe children’s observation, connections with real life, problems with the circuits and ways to improve them. This worksheet can word as a nice introduction or even a follow-up to children building circuits for themselves. They could even build them along side completing the worksheet. I hope this helps your children to draw electrical circuits properly as well as improve their general understanding of electronics.
