I created a knowledge organiser to use with my Year 5 and 6s on out new topic of Ernest Shackleton We are using the amazing book- Shackleton’s Journey by William Grill

I made this sheet for my class for this week. It revises the grammar terms such as article, noun, adjective etc giving clear examples The children then put their own words in to a grid to build up Christmas themed sentences about what they’ve learned. They then can put these in a Christmassy story. Merry Christmas.

I created these sheets with the Year 6 Reading Buddies in my school- so they had a focus of what to write when listening to children read. So it wasn’t always just ‘Well done’ or ‘Good Reading’ It gave them an area of focus. Then some parents asked if they could have it to use at home when they are listening to children read and said it has been helpful. The first sheet is a table to record on and second sheet is a grid to help with comments to write to asses the child’s reading

This has an information sheet about Black Friday and 15 different questions for the children to answer. Some open and some closed.

I created these checklist cards as English Coordinator to help embed grammar throughout the school. The children can use them to assess when they have done a piece of writing. I used both the national curriculum and Pie Corbett's progression in writing to put these together. They are very visual and give examples.

A storyboard sheet for Children to write about what is happening in each picture of 'The Rabbits by Shaun Tan

I made this unit of work based on 'The Hand' by Guy de Maupassant. It is great to do a short narrative HORROR unit with years 5 and 6 and my children loved it. You can get loads of descriptive writing out of them. The unit lasts 2+ weeks. This pack includes complete planning, 8 notebook files, the full text for the children and an assessment checklist. Hope it's useful to others and can all be adapted as needed. I removed all the names etc from my planning. But I reckon year 5 , 6 and 7 teachers could do a lot with all this ENJOY!!

I think this in the most useful resource I've made so far to help year 5 and 6 children with their writing. It has helped me get my books in order for writing moderation too! This word mat is to be photocopied double sided and laminated. It includes: All the year 5/6 curriculum spelling words Hyphenated Words Subordinating conjunctions Co-ordinating Conjunctions Modal Verbs Contractions (including spoken contractions) It is colourful, well set out and easy to use. I hope others find it as useful as our school does. It does help them when they are writing. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/richbreeds
