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

This is a notebook file for a Creative Write/Big write lesson/task. The children have to write a story called 'The Secret Door'.

I made this sheet based on the 'World Around Us' Geography topic. The children were to choose 1 activity a week to do at home. There are a range of activities from writing and maths to art and cookery. Lots of them encourage parental involvement. Suitable for KS2. I used this with Years 3 and 4

I made these tasks for my class to focus on now the SATS are over. They are loving them so far. They love working in groups and presenting to the class. It also creates a healthy bit of competition. Both group tasks involve working collaboratively, budgeting, research , recording information and preparing a presentation. They are clear and visual and give them plenty of clues and instructions- they also take up a good few lessons! Enjoy! Lots more availabe at: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/richbreeds
