A planning sheet for designing a fruit. Chn must come up with a target market, key positive facts, cost and name for the fruit. This then led my class into making them in a DT lesson, and creating the packaging in a 3D nets Maths lesson.
Planning and write-up sheet for a setting description focussing on scents, sights and sounds.
This work is based on The Uncommoners: The Crooked Sixpence by Jennifer Bell.
Help your children to improve their descriptions and narratives by using these colour vocabulary sheets in your literacy lessons or on display. They equip pupils with exciting words for ‘red’, ‘blue’, ‘green’ and everything in between!
I have been using these colour thesauruses as part of a Writing Toolkit (coming soon!) that I give to my class at the start of the school year. After modelling how to use them in writing, the children then independently use stronger, more effective colour descriptives when describing settings or characters- I even see them cropping up in their speech!
BOTH SPELLINGS OF COLOR/COLOUR INCLUDED!
Included in this download:
A display poster and pocket-sized version of the color vocabulary grid
PDF versions of the resources
.docx Word versions of the resources for editing purposes
2 fonts to edit your resources with
UK/AU/NZ/CA version using ‘colour’ spelling
Looking for the full Writing Toolkit? Due to be completed by September 1st 2020
I hope this product saves you time and stress,
Happy Teaching!

Book Review worksheet concentrating on summarising, forming opinions and concluding on Matilda by Roald Dahl.
UK and US versions included
In this book review, children are asked to summarise the main parts of the story, give their opinion on the story as a whole, state the funniest, scariest and favourite parts, rate the story from 1-5, explain if they would recommend the book, and discuss who their favourite and least favorite characters were.
This works great as a post-text exercise, and also works as a movie review if you are following the feature film instead. Reviewing books helps children know that it’s okay to like or dislike a book, and also allows them to work out what their favorite genres are.
Included in this download:
UK and US versions of PDF and Word documents
PDF version of the book review
.docx Word document version of the book review for editing purposes
‘Lost in Chalk’ font to help you edit the resource and keep the style

A small pack of resources on the past and present progressive tenses.
There are also word searches for children to convert between tenses and find the correct words!
They’re differentiated with ‘remember’ sections.
I’ve added it as a PDF for the correct format and as a Word doc so that you can edit it!
Starters, plenaries, modeled descriptions and resources provided for two contrasting character descriptions. They're based on two characters from the book we're reading in class, but are easily adaptable.
Let me know if you need anything else or have any comments.

This is a set of resources that I use for my year 3 and 4 group.
They are Egyptian themed so that they can link in with humanities topic.
Shape poems are a great introduction to writing in a poetic structure for children, and the shapes offered in this pack are: canopic jars, a sarcophagus and a pyramid.
