There are also a range of snowflakes. Blank snowflakes for children to write their own adjectives on to share with the class and others with a range of different adjectives on for LA children to decide which ones would be well chosen and which wouldn't.

A lesson on letter writing which based upon our Peter Pan topic. This pack contains a powerpoint presentation and activities. I first read the letter from Tinkerbell to Peter to the children to see what they noticed about the way that the letter was set out, we then looked at a range of other letters and the children used sugar paper to mind map their thoughts. The powerpoint then highlights the different features of a letter and where they can be found. Afterwards the children were given another letter from Wendy to her parents and the children were to identify the features we had been looking at. I have included labels for the LA children to place in the correct place on the letter.

I then asked the children to create their own fairy tale character using the character description frame.

The pack also contains a blooms taxonomy higher level sticker for your early finishers and a writing frame for LA children to use when describing their character.

A resource made to recap writing compound sentences with year 1.

I have also included an activity where children are to match the two main clauses and turn them into a compound sentence.

A presentation and visual resource when teaching year 1 children about the subordinating conjunctions; when, if, that and because. Before introducing the lesson we recapped what we knew already about conjunctions and their purpose.

A resource designed to get children excited about grammar. The idea of the game is for children to investigate what happens when we add a suffix to words. One person is to read the word out to their two team mates who must use a fly swatter to choose the options relating to what they must do before adding the suffix to their words e.g. double the letter before it or remove a letter. The first to guess right gets to keep the word card. If children are struggling they can choose one of the magic clue keys to help them.

A presentation and resource created to help year 1 children to edit their work, include conjunctions in their writing and use a range of interesting sentence starts. At the end of the activity I asked children to look at the success criteria they had included in their work and rate whether they deserved 1, 2 or 3 stars, I then asked the children to stand in groups depending on how many they had included, the children were then given another opportunity to fix their work.
