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.

Comparing weights
A Year 2 maths worksheet created by a teacher to help your child learn how to compare weights of two household objects to see which is the heaviest.
Measurement terms around the house
Cut out the cards. Put some Blu Tack on the back of them, then go on a measurement trail around your house. What items could be described by the words? Stick your cards on them!
Using non-standard measures: length
Let's get measuring. Look at your hand. Stretch it out as big as it can go. The distance from your thumb to your little finger is called your hand span. Go around your house finding things that are smaller and things that are larger than your hand span. Write them in these circles.
Estimate then measure
An estimate is a clever guess. It’s a guess that you think carefully about before making. Have a look at your ruler. Can you find 3cm? Can you estimate whether each of the items below is shorter or longer than 3cm? Write your estimate underneath the picture.
Doubling and halving money
Can you double and halve the amounts in the purses? Show the answers as coins in the empty purses (trace around real coins to draw them!).
Comparing weights directly
Find these objects in your house, then search around your home or garden for things that are lighter and heavier. Fill out the chart, finding something that is heavier and lighter than each of the objects.
Comparing lengths in cm
Here are some rather funny aliens. Can you measure them from head to toes (if they have any!) using a ruler? Under each alien write their length in centimetres.
Adding 10 to a number
This is a calculation machine! It’s set to programme Add 10 today. Every number that goes in gets 10 added to it. Choose some numbers to go into the machine, then use the 100 square to add 10 to each one. Remember: you don’t need to count along 10 to add 10 to your number, just drop down one row on the 100 square.
2D or 3D shape?
Cut out these shape names. Can you organise them into two piles, one for 2D and one for 3D? Look around the room. Can you find an object to match each shape card? Stick the card to the object with Blu Tack!
Ordering numbers on a 100 square
A number square practice activity created by a primary school teacher to help children order numbers up to 100 correctly.
