This bundle contains 29 different emotion cards, which can be made into hand-sized resources for descriptive writing. I pin my to my English working wall, as a resource for pupils to use if needed, but they would work on table tops too! Each card has eight sentences, which show an emotion rather than telling how a character feels. So rather than pupils writing: Emmy feels sad… They could utilise the resource to write: Emmy hung her head low. She took a deep, heavy breath out of her trembling lips…

I created these as visual aids to be hung above my interactive whiteboard, as a reminder of each word class. Great for a teaching resource or a personal memory aid. Includes ** 8 different word classes**, with examples, descriptions and visual prompts. verb noun adverb adjective determiner preposition conjunction pronoun Enjoy!

This is a super cute display for Vocabulary Ninjas. I personally like to use hessian and matte laminating pouches, but this will work on a variety of backings. There are over 20 individual parts, including the heading. This display would also work for most times table tracking displays. I’ve also added a display plan of how I envisage it to be hung, but you can experiment with what works best for your display boards! I would recommend you printing a few copies of page 6 - I think I went with 6 in the end. I then laminated these with a gloss pouch, so I could use a whiteboard pen to write, remove and rewrite vocabulary onto them. Enjoy!

This is by far my favourite display ever! I still can’t believe I created something so cute. Definitely gender neutral and my pupils love it. This is a super cute display for Accelerated Reader, which focuses on percentage rather than words read, so it’s inclusive for all. I went for a star wars theme because I wanted it to go for a sci-fi vibe. I personally like to use hessian and matte laminating pouches, but this will work on a variety of backings. There are over 40 individual parts, including the heading. This display would also work for most reading tracking displays.

This resource contains 40 high frequency words, each containing 14 synonyms. They are a great visual resource for creative writing and editing. I hang mine onto my English Working Wall as cute hand-sized packs, which I ring-bind together, after laminating.

I’ve collated a range of book recommendations for my Year 5’s to display in my book corner throughout the year. I’m hoping these will act as hooks to engage my pupils and encourage them to read something new! Within this resource, there are 16 pages of recommendations: each page contains 3 book recommendations (48 recommendations in total) for pupils ranging from 9-12 years old. Each recommendation includes a quote, the book cover and a summary/blurb of the book. The recommendations are around A6 in size, but could be printed larger. I’ve opted for a green gender-neutral checkerboard design, as I know it’s a design which all pupils will enjoy. I hope your class are inspired by these as much as mine have been! please note: I’ve included more books than 1 per week, as I’ve tried to account for books being used within the curriculum
