This is a modelled write that I have written for my Year 3 class when studying the book 'Escape from Pompeii'. It's an information text/ travel brouchure about Pompeii. My class analysed this piece of writing before planning and writing their own versions where they chose their own city in Europe to write about. They had to decide on the layout and heading/ subheadings.
This is a high quality modelled write about cinemas that I use with my Year 3 class to model what a non-chronological report should look like. It contains the key features of an information text: headings, subheadings, a picture, an introduction etc. As well as the key grammatical features that Year 3/4 children should be aiming to use (fronted adverbials, FANBOYS, subordinate clauses, brackets, questions, exclamations and colons).
In the lesson, I would get the children to read the text and discuss what they have learnt from it. They could develop the skills of scanning and skimming and re-calling key information. Then, I ask them to highlight the key features of a non-chronological report. Finally, they could search for high quality language, facts or punctuation that they would like to use in their own writing.
This is a full unit of work (19 lessons) for English and Guided Reading for a Year 3 class who are exploring the book ‘Stone Age Boy’ by Satoshi Kitamura. All of the slides are prepared on smartnotebook and the unit takes the children through the book using talk for writing strategies. There are lessons on grammar and punctuation, using adjectives, similes and writing descriptions and the lessons build up to the children writing their own version of the story “Bronze Age boy or girl” or “Iron Age boy or girl”.
This is the notebook file for an English unit where students will write their own Mayan Stories. I teach this unit with my Year 6 class towards the end of the Mayan topic when the class have a good knowledge of the Mayan Era. This notebook file contains the modelled write split up into sections to give students inspiration for their own writing.

It comprises of 9 lessons and includes the build up to two big writes - one of which I use as a full independent write (assessed piece). The lessons are set up on smart noteboard and each slide contains the outline of the lessons, questions and explanation of activities. I have also created (and included) a modelled write which enables children to see the type of writing that is expected of them in Year 6. The modelled write contains a range of sentence types and high level punctuation.

The lessons start by analysing the texts and then move on to them planning and writing their own versions of Just So Stories. A planning pro-forma is included as well.

I send these SATs revision sheets out in the last couple of weeks before the SATs. They sum up many of the topic taught this year and help children revise.
These problems are laid out so that they can be printed on stickers (2 by 7). This is so the children can chose their problem, stick it in their book and have plenty of space to do the workings out. The problems are organised by challenges 1 being the easiest and 3 the hardest. I allow children to chose their own challenge.
