I used the write stuff style planning with my class for Viking Boy by Tony Bradman. We wrote narratives using 5 plot points each with 3 learning chunks. The planning is also included. Also, as my class loved the format, we used the same style for Non-Fiction, newspaper reports. I made an example of a newspaper too as my class also did this for their computing sessions (word processing). I have included this too. We got really good fiction and non-fiction writing from all of the children using these resources. Any questions, please ask.

Here are lots of notebook files, resources etc from when I taught the book Floodland by Marcus Sedgwick Any questions please ask

These grids I made as English Coordinator for children to stick in the front of their book and use to assess their writing. They have been very successful. Pack includes : Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Greater Depth The resources are colourful and contain examples. They have helped us to embed grammar throughout the school and writing has improved throughout.

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 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
