Turn your KS2 topic notes into a mind map template
Printable blank templates leave you to do the thinking. Upload a worksheet, a page photo, or your notes and get a mind map of your own topic that you can edit and explore.
Why a custom map beats a blank template
A blank page with empty boxes is a quick start, but a KS2 mind map template that already holds your topic's key ideas saves the sorting work for both pupils and parents.
- Start from your own lesson material instead of a printable blank
- Keep main branches short so younger pupils can follow them
- Edit any branch to match your teacher's wording
- Use the map as a base for flashcards or a short quiz
Built from your material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or a photo of a page. The mind map uses the key terms and ideas from your topic, not generic filler.
Editable branches
Rename, move, or remove branches so the map matches what your class is learning this week.
Explore in the browser
Open the map, expand the branches one at a time, and check what each part covers before you print or share it.
How it works
Add your topic
Upload the PDF, slides, or notes your class is using, or paste the key points in as text.
Generate the map
DeckOwl builds a mind map with a central topic, main branches, and sub-points taken from your material.
Edit and study
Adjust the branches, then turn the same material into flashcards or a quiz to check understanding.
Because the map comes from your own notes, the branches match the vocabulary and facts your child is being taught, which makes it more useful for revision than a generic layout.

Frequently asked questions
How do I help a KS2 pupil make a mind map?
Start with one central word for the topic, then add a few main branches for the big ideas. Ask the pupil to add smaller branches for facts or examples under each main branch.
What topics work well for a KS2 mind map?
Topics with clear groups of facts work best, such as the parts of a plant, the water cycle, or types of rock in science. History periods and geography features also map well.
Can I use my own notes instead of a blank template?
Yes. Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file, or a photo of a page and DeckOwl builds the mind map from that material. You can then edit the branches.
Is there a free plan?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exporting files such as PDF or DOCX is a paid feature on Plus.
