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.
Know your number facts speed quiz
Ask a grown-up to time how long it takes you to say the answer to these questions. Then write some questions yourself and test an adult!
Exploring shape: tessellation
Cut out the shapes below and make some tessellating patterns. Tessellating is a big word, but it just means shapes that fit together without any gaps!
Drawing and labelling a shape picture
Draw a picture of a building, a person, an alien… anything you want! You must make sure you include plenty of actual shapes though. Once you’ve finished, label your picture using shape words.
Double or half number card game
Turn the cards face down on the table. Players must take turns picking up a number card and a word card, complete the calculation it suggests and write the answer. The winner is the player who writes the most correct answers after five turns.
Double me Memory Game
The object of the game is to pick up a number and its double – that’s a pair! If you don’t pick up a pair you put the cards back on the table face down and continue to take turns. Players who pick pairs take them off the table and keep them. The winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game.
Continuing and making patterns
Can you continue these patterns by drawing the next pictures in each sequence?
Comparing lengths treasure hunt
You are going to go on a treasure hunt around your house, finding things that are longer or shorter than other things. Then draw a picture of what you’ve found!
Comparing and ordering numbers
Max is in a muddle! He’s written these numbers down in the wrong order. Can you help him unjumble them and put them in order, from smallest number to largest?
Comparing amounts of money
Can you say whether each of these amounts is more or less than 20p? Can you find four different ways to make 10p using different coins.
Checking estimates
Can you estimate how many sweets are in the jar? An estimate is a clever guess (so it’s like a guess, but something you think very carefully about before making!).
2D and 3D shape Bingo
Each player has a board. The caller reads out a shape question from the list below. The person who has the correct answer on their board puts a counter on top of it. The winner is the player who covers all the shape names on their board first.
