Supporting resources
Welcome
NEW for 2019-20!
We have produced supporting resources for every small
step from Year 1 to Year 11.
The worksheets are provided in three different formats:
• Write on worksheet – ideal for children to use the
ready made models, images and stem sentences.
• Display version – great for schools who want to cut
down on photocopying.
• PowerPoint version – one question per slide. Perfect
for whole class teaching or mixing questions to make
your own bespoke lesson.
