This resource package is aimed at upper key stage 2 children but could possibly be used with smarter year 3 and 4 classes. In these resources you have everything you need to teach a full 1 hour lesson on semi-colons and colons. You could choose to separate it into 3 x 20 minutes or 2 x 30 minute lessons. There is a powerpoint which helps you teach the lesson and is written in a language children can understand. In addition you have 3 different worksheets for lower, middle and higher ability.

Don’t know what a fronted adverbial is? Neither did I! I educated myself, designed and made all of the resources you see here. It is a 3 part lesson which gives you all of the resources and planning to teach 3 x 1 hour lessons. One of which I used for my lesson observation and it was rated as outstanding. The presentation is very easy to follow and has been designed to teach itself. The worksheets are clear to understand and allow children of all abilities to have success. However, I recommend adult support with the lowest ability.

This resource is aimed at children in key stage 2. It includes a PowerPoint presentation and 3 worksheets differentiated into lower, middle and higher ability. The PowerPoint is very easy to follow and basically does the teaching for you. The worksheets could be used for 1 full hour lesson or you may choose to complete the tasks over 2 or 3 lessons.

This lessen (or should I say lesson) and the resources provided will help your children achieve two objectives from the year 6 curriculum. The first is being able to identify and correctly spell homophones. The second is to be able to use the first 3 letters of a word and dictionary to find the meaning of word. I haven’t included a lesson plan because the presentation included pretty much teaches the lesson for you. Here are some basic notes and a brief run through of what happens in this lesson: Start with a recap of what a dictionary is used for and how it is used. Teach and define what a homophone is using powerpoint presentation. 3 way differentiated worksheets. To complete worksheets, children must use a dictionary to find out the meanings of words that sound the same but mean different things. Extension activity where children convert nonsense passage into a passage that makes sense by choosing the correct homophones.

All my resources are fully editable and customizable. As always, the preview makes the resource appear goofy when it actually isn’t. Please download some of my free resources to get a feel for some of the worksheets I create. Here I have created a worksheet that will improve your children’s knowledge and understanding of the present perfect and the past perfect form. This is aimed at upper key stage 2 but could be customized to meet the needs of lower ks2. In total, there are 4 tasks to complete and I this would take up to 2 x 1 hour lessons with the correct input from the teacher.

This is a lesson aimed at 7 to 11 year olds and possibly lower ability secondary school. I have uploaded a customizable word document for each of the 3 differentiated worksheets and also the PDF files for an easy print. Please look at the PDF preview for a true reflection of the worksheet quality. You have enough worksheets and information on the presentation to either break this down into 2 x 45 minute lessons or 1 x 90 minute lesson. In this resource you will get a presentation that demonstrates how a relative clause is constructed and then moves on to covering embedded clauses. The worksheets are differentiated 3 ways, higher, middle and lower ability. Highers and middles will write embedded clauses by the end of the lesson and lower will be able to write simple relative clauses.

I’ve uploaded all of the resources you will need for 2 lessons for the possessive apostrophe and the planning too. All resources are completely editable and in word format. When I taught this lesson, I found that by using the cards included in this resource, allowed even the lower ability to grasp possessive apostrophes very quickly.

This worksheet is a funny short story that has been written using the incorrect homophones. There is enough tasks and teaching points here to last 2 lessons minimum as each task can take quite a long time. If you were to use this worksheet to help improve the use of a dictionary then you could perhaps stretch the worksheet into 3 lessons of 45 minutes. As always, the preview makes the worksheet look poorly presented, but once downloaded I hope you agree it looks much better. Task 1 - The challenge for the children to first find the incorrect homophones and convert them into the correct homophones. Secondly, the children will write the proper version using the correct homophones in their exercise book (a dictionary could be used here). Task 2 - the children will use some of the common homophones (which is provided on the worksheet) to write their own nonsense passage using incorrect homophones. Task 3 - children will ask a friend to convert their nonsense passage into a passage with the correct homophones. Task 4 - Could even be some peer assessment. Each child checks each other’s work and makes sure that no homophones have been mist (or should I say missed).

This is a worksheet that falls in line with the ks2 spelling objective, spelling words with silent letters. The preview doesn’t look very good but when you download it you will find that it is presented much better. This worksheet has 5 tasks in total. Each task gets progressively more difficult providing plenty of challenge for children of all abilities. This worksheet could be used as one full 1 hour lesson or broken down in to 3 x 20 minute sessions. Happy spelling!
