Spelling Challenge Cards Level 1-5
Level 1 = phase 3 CEW and HFW
Level 2 = Phase 4 CEW and HFW
Level 3 = Phase 5a
Level 4 = Phase 5b
Level 5 = Phase 5c
Each challenge card is split into bronze, silver and gold (these aren’t progressive, they just offer milestones) Children take the sheets home and practice the words. When they are confident they can spell them, the parents cut the relevant slip off the bottom and send it in to say they are ready to be tested! Teachers can test all/ a random sample of the words to validate.
Each level has bronze, silver and gold certs. Each time a child gets a cert, we offer 3 raffle tickets (in the bundle) and 2 house points (you can add your own rewards!). We will run a termly raffle to win £20!
3 attendance posters gamer style NOT EDITABLE
Attendance leaflet for parents/ carers - a PDF non editable version AND a EDITABLE version in word - text can be edited but not images or headings.
Print to A3, laminate and pop up on classroom doors. Teachers can add facts that the children have learnt so visitors to the classroom can discuss their learning with them/ check what they have remembered.
E.g. Test us on our… 3 x table
Ask us to spell… together
Question us about… Fair Trade
See if we can remember… how the water cycle works
Use a dry wipe pen and you can keep updating through the year!
These cards are ideal to support children as they go through the explore, design, make and evaluate cycle of DT.
These cards are NOT editable.
2 levels of support - cards numbered 1 and 2
A scaffold to support children looking at model texts and unpicking their key elements e.g. purpose, vocab/ phrases, writer techniques e.g. rhetorical questions, short sentences, personification, modal verbs, etc. This helps children build up an understanding of the intended impact of the text and how the writer creates this. From here children understand the ‘steps to success’ or ‘writer’s toolkit’ or whatever you may call it!
Simply print pages 2 and 3 back to back and create as many pages as you want to go inside the front cover and create a booklet. Children can add key science vocab as it is taught and carry this up through school with them as a handy reference booklet.
The page page offers some quick paired games for when there is a spare few minutes to recap and revise!
