Important update from TheSchoolRun
For the past 13 years, TheSchoolRun has been run by a small team of mums working from home, dedicated to providing quality educational resources to primary school parents. Unfortunately, rising supplier costs and falling revenue have made it impossible for us to continue operating, and we’ve had to make the difficult decision to close. The good news: We’ve arranged for another educational provider to take over many of our resources. These will be hosted on a new portal, where the content will be updated and expanded to support your child’s learning.
What this means for subscribers:
- Your subscription is still active, and for now, you can keep using the website as normal — just log in with your usual details to access all our articles and resources*.
- In a few months, all resources will move to the new portal. You’ll continue to have access there until your subscription ends. We’ll send you full details nearer the time.
- As a thank you for your support, we’ll also be sending you 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep.
A few changes to be aware of:
- The Learning Journey weekly email has ended, but your child’s plan will still be updated on your dashboard each Monday. Just log in to see the recommended worksheets.
- The 11+ weekly emails have now ended. We sent you all the remaining emails in the series at the end of March — please check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen them. You can also follow the full programme here: 11+ Learning Journey.
If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you for being part of our journey it’s been a privilege to support your family’s learning.
*If you need to reset your password, it will still work as usual. Please check your spam folder if the reset email doesn’t appear in your inbox.

Using tally and bar charts
What’s your favourite part of Christmas? Find information about the best aspects of the festive season for as many people as you can by asking your friends at school and your family at home. They will need to choose from the list in the table. Keep a tally of the numbers using this tally chart. Now use these axes to draw your own bar chart to show the information you have found.

When subtracting three-digit numbers, there are three different methods you can use. Work out these subtractions using whichever method you find easiest.
Number sentences totalling 100 and 200
Look at these number sentences. What digits need to go in the gaps? Remember when adding two numbers totalling 100, the tens numbers have to add up to 90 and the units have to add up
to 10.
to 10.
Mystery 3D shape net
A net is an arrangement of 2D shapes, joined edge to edge, that make a 3D shape when folded up. What 3D shape do you think this net will make?
Multiplying with the partitioning method
When multiplying a two-digit number by a one-digit number, use your partitioning skills to split up the two-digit number and multiply each digit in turn. It works in exactly the same way as the grid method… just without the grid! Use this method to multiply these numbers.
Horizontal and vertical lines
Horizontal lines are lines that go across. Vertical lines are lines that go up and down. How many horizontal lines does this shape have? How many vertical lines does it have? How many right angles does it have? Can you explain what a right angle is? Remember that the corner of a sheet of paper or book is a right angle.
Completing a bar chart
Darren took a tally of the favourite school dinners of children in his class. Can you complete this bar chart to show how many people liked each different meal? Remember to make sure all the bars are the same width and that there are gaps of the same width between each bar. Think about the width of each bar before you start drawing, putting pencil markings down for the first bar.
Bar chart investigation

Handling data: tables and bar charts
Class 2JE have been finding out about their favourite books. Can you show the results on the table they prepared on the bar chart? Use a ruler to help you draw the bars correctly!

The grid method for multiplication is taught in KS2 to help children multiply two-digit numbers by one- and two-digit numbers using their partitioning skills. Review the method and put it into practice with our explanatory worksheet.
Primary geometry: shape and space
Do you know your hexagons from your heptagons, your pentagonal pyramids from your octagonal prisms? From 2D shapes to angles and symmetry our seventy-page Primary Geometry: shape and space learning pack covers all aspects of the national curriculum (Shape and Space) and will ensure your child can use a protractor, translate a shape and look for a mirror line. Challenge them to a game of 3D shape dominoes, make a right-angle measurer and get started!
Subtracting two-digit numbers on a number line
When subtracting it is sometimes helpful to think of the DIFFERENCE between the smaller number and the larger number. You can work this out on a number line. Try using a number line to work out these questions. (Remember to jump to the next tens number first and then keep jumping in tens.)

Y3 doubles Bingo
Each player has a board. The caller reads out random numbers from the list below (doubles are in brackets) and ticks them off as they go. The person who has a number that is double the number called out on their board puts a counter on top of it. The winner is the player who covers all the numbers on their board first.
