A Year Five unit of work on quest stories inspired by Beowulf. (We used a short copy in class as our model text, and read the book by Michael Morpurgo alongside the unit). Three weeks worth of lessons as we used two lessons to write the story, one to edit and improve, and one to write a final copy. Please note For two of the lessons, one on dialogue and one on character description, I used Twinkl PPTs (NOT included) so a Twinkl subscription is beneficial, however you can always just add to the slides. Lesson objectives as below… LI: To write a story with an imaginary creature. (cold task) LI: To memorise a text to help support my writing. (T4W) LI: To understand the meaning, structure and features of a story. LI: To identify the 5 part story structure. LI: To write different story openings using description, action and dialogue. x2 LI: To develop a character description. x2 (TWINKL PPT ON SUPERLATIVE/COMPARATIVE) LI: To create atmosphere through my use of language. LI: To use dialogue in my writing. (INVERTED COMMAS PPT) LI: To plan a quest story. LI:To write a quest story. LI: To edit and improve a quest story. The slides are a Smart Notebook file, not a PPT. There is also a PDF version of the slides but this is, of course, not editable.

‘Tweet about your learning’. Fantastic as an end of unit summary or stuck on a class noticeboard for children to add to during the week to celebrate the weeks learning and achievements. Available as editable word document or ready to print PDF.

A fun way to end the week and encourages the children to reflect on the week/their learning and set a target for the following week. Slips could go home at the end of the day as a discussion point, stay in the classroom to be referred to or recycled!

‘Teacher Noticeboard’ lettering - Harry Potter/Daily Prophet themed. Includes ‘messages’ and ‘to do’ list sheets, perfect for laminating and popping on your noticeboard next to a dry wipe marker!

‘Sharp Work Our Work is on Point’ display lettering with several different A4 prints that are perfect to be laminated and used to pin children’s best work on. My kiddies love this display and I added real succulents on the table infront of the display board.

‘Our Work is on Point’ display. Display lettering reads: Sharp Work Our Work is on Point and there are several different cactus patterns that can be printed and laminated ready for work to be pinned on.
