As a SENCo I found this particually useful to map out the provision we offer our pupils at my current school.
The web is broken into 6 sections of learning:
Individualised Support
Indentification of needs
Quality First Teaching
Extra Curricular Provision
Interventions
Communication
The provision we the provide is colour coded. This is great for parents and visitors to our website to get a clear overview of provision.
This has been created on PowerPoint and is therefore editable.
A whole school pathway for History in Primary school following a child’s journey from EYFS to Secondary School. I have included key events, dates, links to the national curriculum and skill coverage across each key stage. This is a great visual tool for Govenors and OFSTED to give a brief but thorough overview of your curriculum.

6 diary entries in total. They can be used fro SEN children, differentiation or whole school teaching. Here is a summary of the Year 6 diary entry written from the point of view of a survivor of the Titanic:
Title: My Survival Story: The Titanic Disaster
Introduction:
The entry begins with the author introducing themselves as a survivor of the Titanic disaster. They describe how the voyage began with excitement and luxury, but ended in tragedy.
Description of the Voyage:
The author provides a detailed account of their experience on the ship. They describe the opulent surroundings, the variety of people on board, and the excitement of sailing on such a grand vessel.
The Sinking:
The author then describes the moment when the Titanic hit an iceberg and the chaos that ensued. They explain how they were separated from their family but eventually found each other on one of the lifeboats. They also talk about the eerie silence that descended as the ship sank.
Survival and Rescue:
The author goes on to describe the harrowing experience of being in a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean, and the relief of finally being rescued by the Carpathia. They explain how they were brought to New York City and reunited with their family.
Conclusion:
The entry ends with the author expressing their gratitude for surviving and acknowledging the many who were not so fortunate. They reflect on the impact that the disaster had on their life and the world as a whole, and how it remains a reminder of the fragility of life.
The success criteria in this bundle are taken from the English National Curriculum for Year 6 writing.

The files are Word documents with 3 tables per page. Print on table per child and stick them in their books before they begin writing.
Columns are provided for child/peer self marking and for teachers to leave feedback.
I have created a series of lessons has been designed to increase your pupils’ word processing skills. The can be used during registration time or as stand-alone lessons. One major barrier to learning I encountered when asking children to use Microsoft Word was their lack of experience using Word’s basic functions. I have broken the key elements I believe primary school children should understand down into 6 separate child-led lessons.
Level 1: Colour and font
Level 2: Bullet points
Level 3: Text boxes
Level 4: Images
Level 5: Spelling and grammar check
Level 6: Symbols

4 non-chronological reports about the Titanic in the style of an age 8, 9, 10 and 11 child.
The reports ahve an introduction that briefly outlined the contents of the report, followed by sections on the history and construction of the Titanic, the disaster that led to its sinking, and the aftermath of the tragedy. The report concludes by reminding the reader of the importance of safety rules and valuing human life.
In terms of grammatical features, I have used a range of adverbs and adjectives to add detail and description to the report. I have also used subordinate clauses to provide additional information and structure the report. Additionally, I have used a variety of punctuation, such as commas and colons, to separate ideas and create clarity in the text. .
I have taken the original Pirate game from Mr Collins’ Maths Resources (I hope he doesn’t mind) and edited it for World Book Week. The rules are the same. I have just changed the symbols.

I have made a Smart Notebook for each Learning Focus for this unit.
Please feel free to change it to match your needs.
I have made this based on other free PowerPoints on the internet. If those creators have any problems, please contact me.
I have made 7 quick lesson starters which encourage the children to think about the purpose of writing and see the links between poetry and song lyrics.
Great for getting Year 5 and 6 to think first thing!
Each slide contains:
lyrics/poetry verse
new vocabulary in purple
points to discuss based on inference underlined
question prompts on each page
Currently, this file consists of 7 short English starters for the new half term but I will add more to this document as I create them.
