I created this to use with my class during a lesson on fractions. I wanted them to identify fractions and order fractions in ascending order but wanted to create a way for them to do this which had meaning and was exciting. Therefore, I provided each pair of children with a bag of skittles which they then used to complete the worksheet. The children found this extremely engaging!

A visual aid to support children when learning about the seven different characteristics of living things: M.R.S.G.R.E.N. After teaching this to children, they made their own version to use to support their learning which they loved. Enjoy!

This resource is a 16-page booklet which includes sections on: Market research Target audience Idea generation (flavours, textures shape, colours) Brand design (product name, logo, slogan, USP) Product packaging design Photos of product Evaluation with prompt questions During this project, children will be designing their own chocolate product from start to finish. After carrying out market research, they will choose their target audience. They will then generate many ideas before finalising a brand name, logo, slogan, product and USP (unique selling point.) With this in mind, they will then create a final design for their product’s packaging. Once the product has been created (and tasted!) they will complete an evaluation of it. Every class I have completed this project with have absolutely loved it and always talk about it for many years following! National Curriculum D&T links: Design use research and develop design criteria to inform the design of innovative, functional, appealing products that are fit for purpose, aimed at particular individuals or groups generate, develop, model and communicate their ideas through discussion, annotated sketches, cross-sectional and exploded diagrams, prototypes, pattern pieces and computer-aided design Make select from and use a wider range of materials and components, including construction materials, textiles and ingredients, according to their functional properties and aesthetic qualities Evaluate investigate and analyse a range of existing products evaluate their ideas and products against their own design criteria and consider the views of others to improve their work I completed this project whilst also teaching about the Mayans in geography/history.

Simply edit the names and then print these cards off onto coloured paper of your choice and display as desired. This is a great way to monitor what your children are reading and for them to see which books each other are reading too. I will get the children to stick new post-it notes on top of old ones which will then create a reading-log in itself. Both myself and my TA’s have a card too as we want to join in the fun and the kids love seeing which books we’re reading!

My class absolutely loved making this! After learning about Henry VIII and his six wives during our Tudors topic, the children created an ‘information circle’ for each wive which can then be folded and stuck back to back to create an information text brilliant for wall displays! My PDF file here includes an image of my completed one and then the templates of the 7 circles needed and Henry VIII’s upper body. Enjoy! :)
