Whilst reading the BFG by RoaldDahl, I wanted to teach the children about play scripts so I rewrote a section of Chapter 13 as a script. The children then had chance to read from the script, acting out different roles. They were also able to discuss and identify features of a play script using this resource. There are two versions of the script; one is aimed at the lower ability children and the language used has been simplified (no “BFG speak”). The other worksheet in this pack is to help the children to write their own BFG play script. I hope this can be a useful resource.

This is a worksheet showing a cross-section of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Children can then design the different rooms within the factory. Perfect activity for a class studying ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factoy’ by Roald Dahl.

This resource contains a poster giving examples of various fronted adverbials and explaining how they are used. The worksheet is designed to help familiarise children with fronted adverbials and makes a great homework activity or lesson starter. Children are asked to match sentences to appropriate fronted adverbials, rearrange adverbial phrases in sentences and come up with their own fronted adverbials. Answers are also included.

This resource contains two posters designed to explain how to use apostrophes to show both possession and omission. Both posters contain examples for pupils to see as well as explanations of how apostrophes should be used, including for plural possession.

I have used this as a Literacy Starter in Year 3. I cut up the different parts of sentences and gave them out. Each child had to find a partner who would complete their sentence. You could also use this as a main activity for Lower Ability children.

I created these resources whilst reading The BFG by Roald with my Year 3 class. The task is for the children to put some of the BFG’s nonsense words into their very own dictionary. The children can cut out and stick the words in order alphabetically then make up their own meanings for the words. In this pack, there are several different worksheets aimed at different ability groups. Some have more words and some have the alphabet included at the top of the page as support. Also, included in this pack is a worksheet where the meanings of some words are given and the children have to match the definition to the nonsense word. My Year 3 class really enjoyed making up their own definitions.

Cut up this grid for children to play a punctuation matching game. They must match the punctuation symbol to its name and how it is used. This makes a good starter or plenary activity.

Three weeks of Literacy planning based upon 'The BFG' by Roald Dahl. All lesson outcomes are differentiated at least 3 ways. Obviously, this planning is based upon the requirements of the class I had at the time and may need altering before you use it with your own class. However, it might be a good starting point if you are planning a Literacy unit on The BFG. =)

During a Year 5 Unit on 'Aquila' by Andrew Norriss, I wanted to encourage my higher ability pupils to look for evidence in the text to support their character descriptions. The first activity asks the children to come up with words to describe either Tom or Geoff. For each characteristic, they must then find the evidence in the text, noting down a quotation and the page number it was found on. After this, I asked the children to compare Tom and Geoff including evidence from the text. I provided them with an example that compares the two teachers instead. This way, they could see how I expected the work to be laid out. I have included the initial table for recording evidence from the text as well as the example I gave them for the main task.

Included: - A table of Modal Simple, Passive Modal Simple, Modal Perfect and Passive Modal Perfect examples. There is space for the pupils to write their own examples too. - A homework worksheet on which children can practise using the present perfect tense as well as modal verbs in the form of a written conversation. - A homework sheet for lower ability children to identify sentences written in past, present and future tenses. - A prompt sheet to encourage children to use the modal perfect tense correctly e.g. would have not would of Check out my shop! - https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/juliannebritton

As part of our topic on 'Modern Britain', my Year 3 class created leaflets for tourists explaining some of the things they had learnt about Britain. There are three different leaflets included in this pack. The first is a blank trifold leaflet with lines which my higher ability group used. The second is another trifold leaflet, this time with subheadings given. The third is a simpler template for lower ability children, again with subheadings given.

I created this resource to use with my Year 3 class when we were reading the BFG. The first worksheet has space for the child to design and draw their own giant with lines next to it so they can write a description. The second worksheet has a smaller box for the drawing of the giant. Next to this box is a fact file which the children can fill in and underneath this are lines for the children to write their character descriptions. The second worksheet is generic so could be used for creating a profile of any character.

This pack contains a range of Literacy and Maths targets/objectives on yellow and blue stars respectively. I originally created this resource for a 'Reach for the Stars' display for a Year 3 class. The children read the targets and knew what they had to aim for throughout the year.

This worksheet was created for a lesson in which the children were writing a newspaper report about the army helping to defeat the giants at the end of ‘The BFG’ by Roald Dahl. The worksheet is a simplified newspaper template to be used with lower ability groups. They have space to write a short paragraph using the 5Ws as well as a box where they can draw a picture of the event.
