Grammar and Creativity for Year 5 Good writing may start with an exciting idea, but it needs structure to make sense to a reader. Grammar provides a framework on which to display the imagination. Writing brings together individual expression and an understanding of the rules that allow our language (any language) to make sense. This book has been written with the view that grammar and creativity go hand in hand to produce good writing. Developing children’s understanding of the basics of English will encourage their literary adventures. The range of activities here has been designed to excite interest as well as guide children and teachers through the rules. The guide is organised in an incremental way, later tasks being built on earlier ones. Step by step, each exercise calls upon skills and terminology already explored. In this way, both the child and their teacher will develop a sense of the progress being made. At any particular age, of course, children will be working at different levels and may need either more fundamental or more challenging work set for them The guide has three main sections: word, sentence (including punctuation) and text. Each section has an introductory page which can be enlarged to create an explanatory poster for display purposes. At the end, there is a glossary explaining the terminology used in the book, as well as an answer section. Leave a review

Taken from -RE Resource File RE Resource File Key Stage 2 Years 3 Key Stage 2 Years 3 & & 4 Includes: Introduction Unit resources Medium-term plan Lesson 1: What does a baby need? Lesson 2: What is sin? Lesson 3: Christian baptism Lesson 4: Muslim birth ceremonies Lesson 5: Sikh birth ceremonies Lesson 6: Making comparisons All lesson plans and printable activities included This unit is designed as an introduction to Religious Education at Key Stage 2. It introduces pupils to some of the religions they will study during their four years in Key Stage 2.

In the religions covered in this unit, God is acknowledged to have an important role in the creation and safe delivery of a new life and is thanked for the new baby.

Includes: Introduction Unit resources Medium-term plan Lesson 1: Doing the right thing Lesson 2: Making choices Lesson 3: A good influence Lesson 4: Wrong choices Lesson 5: David and Goliath Lesson 6: Inner strength Lesson 7: It’s up to you This unit is intended as an introduction to thinking about ultimate truths in Key Stage 2. By beginning with ‘golden rules’, found represented in all major faiths, pupils then explore how their sense of right and wrong can change with circumstances. By using stories from different faiths and by studying the actions of believers who chose what they believed to be right over wrong when that was a hard choice for them to make, pupils are introduced to the concept of faith and behaviour being inextricably linked. The issue of ‘right and wrong’ will be discussed almost daily throughout a school child’s life! For this age group, right and wrong tends to be very cut-and-dried. These lessons are not intended to introduce the issue of ‘grey areas’ or ‘relative truth’ as children at this age have neither the spiritual, mental, moral or ethical maturity to address these issues appropriately in a classroom context.
