This pack includes 4 activities.
The main activity has three tasks that involve classifying words into 1 of 7 categories. This opens up for lots of conversation and debate, which is a great basis for a lesson.
The other three activities are mazes where children must get from the top row of the word-table to the the bottom by linking words of that type.
I hope this proves helpful!

Hi there!
This assembly is 7 pages long and incorporates 22 parts, though there’s enough scope for more narrators to be added in or for children to only have one part as opposed to two.
I like my assemblies to be funny, hence the large amount of humour added in!
There’s audience participation etc.
Any questions, please let me know!

At the private school that I work at, we do Writing Portfolios to assess the children’s English skills 3 times a year.
Each time we do one, we have a stimulus presentation and we all use the same planning sheet.
This can be used from years 3-6 and is differentiated accordingly.
There’re 2 different planning sheets to suit different abilities and to ensure the planning aspect is standardised across the school.

Book Review worksheet concentrating on summarising, forming opinions and concluding on Matilda by Roald Dahl.
UK and US versions included
In this book review, children are asked to summarise the main parts of the story, give their opinion on the story as a whole, state the funniest, scariest and favourite parts, rate the story from 1-5, explain if they would recommend the book, and discuss who their favourite and least favorite characters were.
This works great as a post-text exercise, and also works as a movie review if you are following the feature film instead. Reviewing books helps children know that it’s okay to like or dislike a book, and also allows them to work out what their favorite genres are.
Included in this download:
UK and US versions of PDF and Word documents
PDF version of the book review
.docx Word document version of the book review for editing purposes
