This resource gives handy hints, test technique pointers, example test questions and consolidation questions linked to several current (2016) test paper themes. Ideal for consolidation throughout the year. Covering the following areas: ordering time, calculating time intervals, using the inverse, reading time, coordinates, negative numbers, number lines, pie charts, rounding, symmetry and nets.

With over 60 slides, this last-minute revision power-point includes a definition of all grammatical terms for the new 2016 SPAG test. It then has several examples of questions from previous papers for the children to quickly test their knowledge. Ideal for final cramming!

Script for a whole class assembly on discrimination

Sets of 10 words at a time from the Year 5 and 6 New Curriculum Spelling lists. The word grids can be used with a partner to test each other or could be used independently. I have also provided incorrect spelling races where children must correct each spelling within a time frame. An alternative game is to have them checked by an adult then sent to alter spellings which are still incorrect either for house points or against the clock.

Tried and tested English observation lesson. Focuses on modal verbs but in the context of a unit of work on persuasive writing linked to the environment. All resources provided.

Here are a few more practical tips for particular topics from the reasoning papers. Each slide has a SATs qu with handy hints box and annotations. Slides: Ordering mixed unit length Ordering mixed decimals and fractions Measuring Angles in shapes Reading scales perimeter Bar charts Line graphs VENN diagrams Counting area Fractions of shapes Reasoning

A comprehensive 30 slide power-point presentation, which goes through all the key maths concepts that children need to know for the current KS1 reasoning paper including: Halving/doubling; odd and even; fractions of shapes and amounts; 2D and 3D shapes; direction and right angle turns; symmetry, data, symbols and counting forwards and backwards in steps. It can be used throughout the year to practise and revisit themes covered in units of work. There are also great opportunities for children to answer questions to develop their reasoning paper skills. This resource is also great value for money, as it can be used year upon year. Certain slides can be selected for teaching /revision sessions or it can be used for starters/plenaries.

An ideal last-minute set of spelling revision worksheets. They can quickly be made into booklets which the children can revise with at home, or during small windows of time in the classroom. The 20 sets of 10 spellings cover all of the Year 5 and 6 New Curriculum word lists, as well as common tricky words which are highly likely to come up in the 2017 SPAG test.

I have used this resource in KS2, to either consolidate general tables knowledge, or to teach particular times tables. I have more recently used it to revise tables for SATs in Year 6!

These 5 Notebooks (which can be used daily over 5 weeks) are great, ready-made resources to use as a starter, plenary or extension activity in your maths lessons. Linked to objectives and questions covered on KS2 maths tests, they cover a wide range of maths topics from converting measures, multiplying and dividing, working out areas and perimeters of compound shapes and much more. Ideal for quick-fire practise, consolidation and new learning across mental maths.

This essential- last minute revision- spelling presentation includes over 30 slides, containing word lists of all the major spelling rules and patterns for Year 6. Also included are 14 fun spelling races that the children can complete in small groups, pairs or individually. The children must work together to correct the spellings. You can either give the children clues as to which ones they need to correct, or just tell them how many correct answers they have! The children in my Year 6 class love competing against each other for house points. The races are a much more fun way of revising spellings than an actual test. I usually award from 5 house points to 1 house point for the first 5 groups. It is excellent for highlighting to teachers which spellings all groups continue to find tricky. The spelling races can be adapted for any set of words.

A comprehensive 40 slide power-point presentation, which goes through all the key maths concepts that children need to know for the 2 reasoning papers this year. It covers all aspects of the maths curriculum from shape and space to factors and prime numbers. It would be an ideal revision aid for the last two weeks before SATS, when all mathematical general knowledge needs to be revisited and consolidated.

This resource is a fun activity to do as part of Roald Dahl day/week celebrations. The activity includes 3 sets of questions about Roald Dahl stories and the author himself. To aid pupils, a fact-file is included in the resources, so it's a great way of getting the children doing a bit of reading comprehension too! As an extra challenge, each question has a letter at the bottom, which creates an anagram for 3 separate Roald Dahl book titles. All answers are provided! I'm going to put the questions up around the school as part of a carousel of activities one morning.

Tried and tested Y5 lesson plan, main teaching SMART Notebook and resources for adding decimals by counting up. OUTSTANDING grade achieved and accelerated progress was highlighted in feeback.

This fun quiz re-caps all the key facts taught whilst learning about a significant event in history - The Great Fire of London. A great resource to end this unit of work and either consolidate or test the children's learning.

A perfect activity for either transition day or for the last couple of weeks of term. The resources include a colourful power-point with visual clues, a power-point with answers and a team answer sheet for children. This fun and engaging Quiz has 10 rounds with 10 questions per round. The topics include: SPORT MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT GEOGRAPHY SCIENCE AND NATURE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE and MORE!

To match the new 2016 tests, this presentation has 7 weekly mental maths tests which covers knowledge from times tables to factors. In addition, there are 7 arithmetic paper sets of questions based on percentages. This was a key skill required for many questions on the 2016maths papers. The children are asked to calculate 10%, 20% then 5% as the weeks progress. The 7 weeks cover the first half of the Autumn term. More presentations will follow for the rest of the year, which will develop other aspects of mental maths and arithmetic skills needed for the new style maths tests.
