Let's Catch Up...
Good evening everyone!

Check My Paper Resources
We've been refreshing our Check My Paper resources to support our Year 6 subscribers with their SATs practice. Currently, we have five arithmetic, three grammar and three spellings packs available for you. Each pack comes with a completed test paper with a variety of correct and incorrect answers given. We have also provided answer sheets to match each paper.
|
|
|
|
Our Check My Paper resources have been devised with two delivery methods in mind, allowing you the flexibility to choose the approach which best suits the pupils you teach.
They can be delivered as a test which comes complete with a recommended script and instructions. Alternatively, they can also be delivered in pairs or groups of pupils to promote meaningful discussions, justifying whether the character's answers are correct or incorrect and why.

Reading Collections
We recently launched the first of our brand new reading collections!
Each collection covers a different theme tailored to the relevant year group.
Currently, we have FIVE collections for Year 6 online, based on the topics: Activists, Aviation, Charles Darwin and the Galapagos, Classic Fiction and World War Two.
Each collection comes with FIVE different packs, giving you a fantastic variety of texts and questions to choose from!
|
|
|
|
Each pack includes a set of comprehensive teaching slides with a variety of retrieval, vocabulary, inference and summary questions to help your pupils deepen their understanding of the text.
Each set of slides concludes with an 'Explore Task' which is either a discussion, drama, drawing, sorting or writing activity linked to the text.
Our slides even come with question strips and evidence sheets to support your reading assessments!
|
|
|
|
In line with our other comprehension packs, our collections also have sets of retrieval, vocabulary and mixed domain questions. We have also provided answer sheets to support your marking. As an added bonus, our mixed domain questions come with question strips that can be stuck into your text books.
|
|
|
|
We are in the process of creating reading collections for our other year groups and will get the first of these online for you as soon as we can!

Famous Scientists
The first of our famous scientists steps are now ONLINE! Each of these steps is dedicated to educating children about the lives of a diverse range of scientists. The case studies we have selected demonstrate how science has changed our lives and contributed to the prosperity of the world as we see it today!

Each pack comes with a set of teaching slides and engaging activity sheets. Every year group has 2 or 3 scientists steps available so go and check them out on our website!

Did you know?
Behind the scenes, we have been preparing to work with a limited number of schools next year to run term-long CPD! This can be linked to any areas of maths and English, drawing upon your school development plan priorities.
Our CPD is different; we work with you to empower staff leadership and we run a research based model so that each step of intent, implementation and impact is wholly relevant to your unique school, staff and pupils.
