Sets of 10 words at a time from the Year 5 and 6 New Curriculum Spelling lists. The word grids can be used with a partner to test each other or could be used independently. I have also provided incorrect spelling races where children must correct each spelling within a time frame. An alternative game is to have them checked by an adult then sent to alter spellings which are still incorrect either for house points or against the clock.

This resource is a fun activity to do as part of Roald Dahl day/week celebrations. The activity includes 3 sets of questions about Roald Dahl stories and the author himself.

As an extra challenge, each question has a letter at the bottom, which creates an anagram for 3 separate Roald Dahl book titles. All answers are provided! I'm going to put the questions up around the school as part of a carousel of activities one morning.

Lesson plans, PPT and resources to support an observation based around the play Romeo and Juliet. Includes a lead in lesson for the day before observation. TEACHER FOCUS: Reading Comprehension Skills-using the text as evidence to support ideas regarding characters. KEY LO: To write in a way which shows children understand a key Shakespearean character and a particular time period. Children will create a lonely heart advert for Romeo. Writing produced was great and the children really enjoyed the task. Can provide evidence for greater depth writing as the children can shift between formality at the beginning and later in the advert.
