I provide a wide range of resources for use in the classroom and around school. My resources build on children's learning and consider the smaller steps children need to take to achieve the learning. My resources have a focus on 'mastery' style questions where possible, to develop children's critical thinking and reasoning skills. As a practicing primary teacher myself, I know how essential it is to have well organised lesson resources with engaging activities that focus on the learning.

22 spelling lists for year 5 (enough to cover the whole year, with room for recapping lower key stage 2, or progressing onto year 6 spellings)
Well organised. Each spelling list covers a specific rule from the year 5 curriculum, or common exception words. Note, as the spelling curriculum for year 5 is merged with that of year 6, I have separated the spellings into two separate year groups.
Each spelling has space for children to find out what the word means and then use the word in a sentence, so as they learn more about the word than just the spelling.
Easy to use in class and can be used easily alongside spelling lessons/other resources for learning spellings. Also useful to help you identify spelling rules to teach.
Sheets can be sent home to help children with learning their spellings.
These have also been used for recap work in year 6.
Children may need to recap the spelling work from years 3/4 (also available).
