THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO MAKE PARAGRAPHING A FUN AND CONCRETE EXPERIENCE. This is a fun and engaging activity (for groups of four) about organisation within a paragraph. Using a non-fiction context (information about mammoths) pupils go to a paragraph party.

In short, it’s a lively and memorable way of exploring non-fiction paragraphs.

27 ways to for KS2 writers to edit and improve their own writing. This project was loosely inspired by Brighton Train Station (bear with us). We put it together to help children develop writing further at the editing stage. The PowerPoint explains how it works, but we are sure you’ll find your own ways to use this. It was a lot of work, so if you spot the odd error, please let us know and we will put it right. We hope it saves you some precious time. Please leave a review. Happy editing!

Here are 6 lessons on digital wellbeing aimed at 7-9 year olds. We use it in Year 4, but it would also work in Year 5. These lessons are adapted from two lessons that can be found in the Be Internet Legends resource (though a very helpful starting point, I think that resource needs a lot of work before it can be used in class). All resources and slides included - I’ve recreated the activities in a more user friendly format. Please leave a review if you use it.
