I think this in the most useful resource I've made so far to help year 5 and 6 children with their writing. It has helped me get my books in order for writing moderation too! This word mat is to be photocopied double sided and laminated. It includes: All the year 5/6 curriculum spelling words Hyphenated Words Subordinating conjunctions Co-ordinating Conjunctions Modal Verbs Contractions (including spoken contractions) It is colourful, well set out and easy to use. I hope others find it as useful as our school does. It does help them when they are writing. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/richbreeds

I have been working on this for some time mapping out clear progression across the year groups. I used Pie Corbett grammar as an inspiration and I have also looked at individual writing genres and pieced them altogether for clear progression. Any Questions Please Ask

This is a notebook file for a Creative Write/Big write lesson/task. The children have to write a story called 'The Secret Door'.

In my role as DSL I recently created some safeguarding surveys for children , parents and staff to complete. I have also included the covering letter I sent to parents with their survey (obviously I have removed our details. I tried to make the children’s more visually using emojis. I used similar questions and changed them slightly for all 3 stakeholders. Please feel free to change my resources as you require- any questions please ask.

My class have been reading ‘Viking Boy’ by Tony Bradman. I made this worksheet for a grammar lesson we did on apostrophes. Hope someone else finds it useful.

I created these checklist cards as English Coordinator to help embed grammar throughout the school. The children can use them to assess when they have done a piece of writing. I used both the national curriculum and Pie Corbett's progression in writing to put these together. They are very visual and give examples. This is the year 5 one. Had lots of good feedback from our school and cluster from children and staff. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/richbreeds

I made this unit of work based on 'The Hand' by Guy de Maupassant. It is great to do a short narrative HORROR unit with years 5 and 6 and my children loved it. You can get loads of descriptive writing out of them. The unit lasts 2+ weeks. This pack includes complete planning, 8 notebook files, the full text for the children and an assessment checklist. Hope it's useful to others and can all be adapted as needed. I removed all the names etc from my planning. But I reckon year 5 , 6 and 7 teachers could do a lot with all this ENJOY!!

I love the Iron Man and have done it several times over the years with years 3, 4 and 5 The kids love it! Here is loads of stuff from notebook files, to worksheets to all sorts of other resources. Anyone who buys this may message me and I will email them my planning in case you would like that too. Hope you like this book as much as we all do!

This sheet explains and revises active and passive voice. I made these to help my class to consolidate their understanding of active/passive and now they are using it independently in their writing. There are 3 tasks to complete- it is colourful and visual and gives clear examples of each. I currently teach a very mixed ability year 5 and 6 class and they all found it useful.
