There are many more out
there to find just search for
the person you’d like to
read about using their
name and biography kids
Keep practising those tables!
In Year 3, you should be fluent at recalling (in 5 seconds) tables
facts for 2, 5, 10, 3, 4 and now, 8x.
And in Year 4, be confident with those from year 3 and 6, 7 and
9 too.
If you are thinking, ‘Hmm I can work them out by counting up’,
you now need to learn the facts.
Write out the facts for each table carefully and then use the
websites to sing and learn them (1 x 8 = 8, 2x8 = 16…) until you
can pull out the facts when someone tests you: (3 x 8 =…24!)
When you are confident play the games to help you get quicker.
There are lots of websites to help you on this page. Only you can
learn them and it will help with lots of Maths problems in
multiplication, division and fractions, so get practising! Times Tables Dial it up Revision
Ben was born on 5th February 1977 in Macclesfield. His full name is Sir Charles Benedict Ainslie. Ben is an English competitive sailor. He is one of the most successful sailors in Olympic history. He has won 5 Olympic medals, five of which are gold medals and is the most successful Olympic sailor of all time!
Ben’s Mum and Dad are called Roderick and Sue Ainslie. Roderick was also a fantastic sailor and captained boats in races. Ben has an older sister called Fleur. Ben grew up in Cheshire where he attended school and he then moved to Truro in Cornwall to complete his school career. He went to college in Winchester. Ben now lives in Lymington, Hampshire with his wife Georgie his daughter Bellatrix.
Ainslie learned to sail in Cornwall. He started sailing at the age of eight and took part in his first competition aged ten. His entered his first international competition in Japan when he was only twelve years old. It could be said that this is where his drive to compete and win came from. Ainslie won silver at the 1996 Olympic Games and gold in the 2000 Summer Olympics in the Laser class. A laser is a small, sailing dinghy. In 2004 he won gold sailing in the Finn class which is a larger boat. He then won gold again in this class in 2008 and 2012! You can visit his gold medal winning dinghies in the National Maritime Museum in Cornwall. There are also two gold post-boxes in tribute to Ben’s gold medal in the 2012 London Olympics, one in Cornwall and one in Lymington.

On 19 May 2012, Ainslie became the first person to carry the Olympic torch in the UK. Starting the 70-day tour of the United Kingdom at Land's End, he was the first of 8,000 torch carriers. He was selected on 11 August 2012 to carry the flag for the Great Britain team at the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony.
Jane Austen
Jane Austen was born in the Hampshire village of Steventon on December
16th, 1775. She is famous English writer who published four novels during her
lifetime: Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield
Park (1814), and Emma (1815). Two of her books; Persuasion and Northanger
Abbey, were published after her death in 1817. All of her novels have become
timeless classics and have remained critical and popular successes two
centuries after her death.
Jane was the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight—six boys
and two girls. Her closest companion throughout her life was her elder sister,
Cassandra; neither Jane nor Cassandra married.
In 1802 it seems likely that Jane agreed to marry Harris Bigg-Wither, the 21-
year-old heir of a Hampshire family, but the next morning changed her mind.
There are also a number of stories connecting her with someone with whom
she fell in love but who died very soon after. Unfortunately, there is little
evidence to prove a connection with either of the two men. Cassandra (Jane’s sister) destroyed as many of the
letters Jane had written and received to protect her sister’s private life after her death.
Jane disliked how women were portrayed in novels at the time and wished to write stories that presented them in a
positive light. Her family, friends and the people she met in local towns and on visits to Bath and London, provided
her with inspirations for characters and settings in her novels.
The earliest of her novels published during her lifetime, Sense and Sensibility, was begun about 1795. Between
October 1796 and August 1797, Austen completed the first version of Pride and Prejudice. In 1797, her father wrote
to offer it to a London publisher for publication, but the offer was declined. Unfortunately, it was deemed unladylike
to pursue a career in writing so Jane found it difficult to get her books published.
Now you are going to use your estimating skill and choose the most sensible measure for the items below. Circle one
total for each item. It might help if you can find something similar to the item.
Now you need to compare the items shown below using <, > and = to show which is larger. Can you work out which
measure is being used? The first one, which is mass/weight is done for you.
Challenge time. Read the headings carefully and see if you can work out how much water is being used.

Task 4 – Inspirational Person Biography
Biographical writing is about someone else’s life. It is about a real person but written by someone else. A biography
highlights the key events that have happened in their life, sometimes talking about their childhood. A biography can
be written about someone who is dead or alive.
Yesterday you read information and answered questions about your house figure head. Now that you are an expert
on this person and know lots of information about them, you are going to write your very own biography using all of
the knowledge you have!
On the next page you will find a WAGOLL of a biography about David Attenborough. Each section is colour coded to
match the instructions below. Read through it after you have read the information on this page, it should help you
write your own.
How to write your biography
The introduction
Your introduction is very important if you want to catch the reader’s attention. You might want to use a question as an opener, however you must introduce your famous person using the 5 W’s.
• Who is the person? – their name (real name also if their birth name is different)
• What are they are famous for?
• When did it happen?
• Where did it happen?
• Why are they famous today?
The main body of the biography (this will be more than one paragraph)
Using your answers from yesterday, or your own research, choose the most important events in their life to write
about. Now that you have your key events and information you can write the main body of your biography. You will
need to write about the events of their life in chronological (time and date) order. Each section or paragraph should
be about a different aspect of their life.
You will need to start each section with a time opener like the ones below to show when the events happened.
First, Next, Then, After, Long before, A while later, Finally, Eventually, As a child, At school, In later life.
The Conclusion
To conclude your biography, you should write about the impact they have on people today.
1. Have they taught us anything?
2. Why will they always be remembered?
3. Quote something someone said about them.
When you have finished writing your biography use the list below to check that you have included all of the features.
• Title – name of biography
• Past tense
• Third Person – he/she/they
• Catchy Introduction – who/what/where/when/why
• Paragraph
• Life events in chronological order of date
• Time openers and connectives to show this
• Quotes from others or themselves about what they think in “quotation marks”
• Conclusion – how they will be remembered

David Attenborough – a Biography
David Attenborough, the Godfather of natural history TV, has introduced generations to the world’s furry
and feathered friends. Beyond natural history he’s had a huge influence as a broadcaster, introducing
colour TV when he was Controller of BBC Two.
Born in London in 1926, Attenborough collected fossils as a child and gained a Natural Sciences degree
from Cambridge. Since the launch of his famous Zoo Quest series in 1954 to the recent Planet Earth, he has
surveyed almost every aspect of life on earth.
Why is he so well known?
Whether he’s chilling with chimps or freezing with polar bears, Attenborough always reassures with his
signature dulcet tones. Many have tried – and most failed – to capture his hushed, reverential whisper, full
of barely contained excitement. This unique voice has formed the soundtrack to millions of childhoods and
TV dinners.
What has he achieved?
Attenborough’s trophy cabinet has recently acquired the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award. In
addition, he has been knighted, had species named after him and the Sir David Attenborough Studio is
planned for London’s Natural History Museum in 2008.
With warmth and intelligence, Attenborough has brought the world to our doorstep. An estimated 500
million people worldwide watched Life On Earth. Long before environmental issues were making daily
headlines, he was a fervent eco campaigner both on and off screen.
In His Own Words
"I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored."
Did you know?
Attenborough was initially discouraged from appearing on screen because his BBC boss thought his teeth
were too big.
How he will be remembered
Attenborough will be remembered for the many achievements he has earned throughout his life, but more
recently he has become a fervent campaigner for reducing the amount of plastic pollution in our oceans.
In his recent series, Blue Planet 2, he showed the world the extent of the pollution affecting our glorious
planet and, after watching the programme, an astonishing 88% of people who saw it are said to have
changed their behaviour, resulting in less plastic pollution.
Bill Oddie said, “David has affected the lives of people and wildlife for many years. With his amazing
amount of knowledge, his achievement is to recommend life, wildlife and human life to the people of this
earth.”
David Attenborough will be remembered for many things and if cleaning up our planet is one of them it
could be said to be his greatest achievement ever.

Task 5: Estimating and measuring length in cm, m and km
Using this table to get you started, go around your house finding objects that you first need to estimate the length
of, and then measure accurately, using a tape measure or ruler.
What will you use to estimate?
(Your fingernail is about 1cm
wide).
1. Paper clip
2. Pencil or pen
3. Comb or brush
4. Teaspoon
5. Someone’s shoe
6. Front door or car key
(Don’t lose it!)
B. Metres:
Now, what about longer objects? A metre is 100cm or 3X ruler length +10cm. Open out a tape measure and find
something that is approximately 1m long, then measure it exactly and write the measurement in m and cm.
Name the object: A ………………………………………………............... is about 1m long. It measures ………………….m/
………………………cm (if it is more, or less,- than 1m exactly).
Find something in or around your house, then estimate and measure it:
My ……………………………………………………………………………is about 2m long. It is exactly …………… m……………………cm
My…………………………………………………………………………… is about 3m long. It is exactly ……………m……………………cm
My…………………………………………………………………………… is about 5m long. It is exactly …………….m …………………..cm
C. Kilometres:
Next time you go out in the car, ask the driver to tell you when they have driven a kilometre from the start of the
journey. (There should be a little button on the dashboard that sets the mile-ometer to zero. If it is in miles not km
then they will need to tell you when it gets to 0.62 mile which is 1km). Talk about where you think it will be when
they say ‘1km is from home to here’. Can you estimate another km further on? Shout ‘Here is 2km’ when you think
the distance is up. See if you are correct or how close you got (2km are 1.24miles). Did you over-estimate (miss it) or
under-estimate it (shout too soon)?
I discovered 1km from home is where the ……………………………………………………………………………………….is.
I could/could not estimate a km correctly.
