An activity to help pupils describe 2 contrasting settings from the story of Beowulf. Pupils will use the diagram to record words and phrases from the Danish moors outside Heorot and the warm feasting hall inside the palace.

This is a really useful sheet to use with pupils when they are editing their writing. They colour in each piece of the puzzle as they edit their work. Designed for Year 3 & 4, but could also be used with other year groups.

This is an activity designed to help pupils understand how tension mounts in the story Beowulf. Focusing on the scene where Beowulf journeys through the lake to battle Grendel's Mother, pupils should discuss where each card should be placed on the diagram to show how tension is built and relieved by the storyteller.

This bundle contains 6 weeks' worth of Literacy planning and resources for Year 3 and 4 based on the 2014 National Curriculum. It is made up of 3 separate 2-week unit plans from KSResources - narrative, poetry and instructions. Each unit also has focusses on Y3 and 4 grammar skills and contains all of the worksheets and activities that you need to accompany the full lesson plans. Unit 1: Narrative (10 lessons) A two-week unit of work for Years 3/4 based on the book 'Stone Age Boy', with full lesson plans and pupil resources. This unit uses drama, discussion and debate to help pupils to engage with the text and then gives them the opportunity to write and edit their own Stone Age narratives. There is also a grammar focus on using adverbials of time and place and a chance to develop thesaurus skills. Unit 2: Performance Poetry (10 lessons) A two-week literacy unit of poetry planning for Years 3 and 4, based on performing poems set in imaginary words and built around the new curriculum literacy objectives. In this unit, pupils will read and listen to magical world poems by Lewis Carroll and they will consider how the sounds and language patterns come alive when the poems are read aloud. Children will work towards creating their own magical poems set in imaginary worlds and then they will perform them aloud, adding sound effects. Unit 3: Instructions (10 lessons) The ten lessons in this unit aim to give children the opportunity to understand the features of instructions as a genre. In the first week, children will engage with the text type by following instructions to make edible Roman roads out of biscuits, chocolates and custard! There is also a grammar focus on using prepositions and imperative verbs. In the second week, pupils will use drama to develop ideas and extend their vocabulary. They will then plan their own set of instructions about becoming Roman gladiator champions and they will then have the opportunity to draft, edit and present their final instructions. All lessons and resources are created by Ofsted-rated outstanding teachers. Save valuable time with this bundle!
