Creating a persuasive poster on the Caribbean Year 3

(0)
This is a resource where the children have to create a persuasive poster on the Caribbean. There are two photos of a Caribbean beach which the children can choose from. Then the children use the boxes provided to write their persuasive information on and cut out and stick on the poster. I encouraged the chn to use all of the features of persuasive posters e.g. alliteration, bossy verbs, slogans, rhetorical questions, facts etc. They loved this lesson. I also enlarged the sheets to A3. Will save lots of time!

Independent reading worksheet Year 3

(0)
This is such a useful worksheet to give to the children when they are free reading. Once they have read for a certain amount of time they can write about what they have read. This encourages the children to summarise and conclude what they have read. It also helps the teacher to see if they have actually been reading! There are two spaces on the worksheet where the children can note down any new words they like or any words they don't know the meaning of; and can they use a dictionary to find out the meaning! If I don't put these worksheets on the tables during guided reading, the children start asking for them! Can be edited and will save time!

General Guided Reading Questions for Children to answer

(0)
This is a really handy resource I use in Year One. During guided reading sessions, several of my groups will read their guided reading books independently and then work through these questions. The worksheet can also be edited to differentiate questions. It is a great way of demonstrating to the children how to answer questions using a full sentence.

Newspaper report Mary Anning finding the fossil - differentiated Year three

(0)
This is a newspaper report ready for the Year three class to complete. We have read the story 'Stone Girl Bone Girl' and we have studied features of newspaper reports, identifying them in real newspapers and other newspaper report texts using highlighters. It is now time for the chn to write their own, based on Mary Anning finding the sea monster fossil. For the more able group I have left this blank - they have to include a catchy heading, by line, strapline, quotes, paragraphs, caption for the photo etc. Then I have differentiated the other groups where some have to think of the strapline / introduction, some have the strapline given, some have the heading given and some have to think of it themselves etc. All worksheets have a photo of the fossil on there. Easy to edit and will save heaps of time! The title of your newspaper will have to be changed as I have done this one to suit our school.

MA have to include; Feelings and questions as well as plan all the key features, including the three main paragraphs. LA have to include; Feelings and questions as well as plan all the key features, including the three main paragraphs. For this group the Address was already written.

SMART notebook - Planning a story Year 1 KS1

This is a slide I made when I ask the children in Year 1 to plan their own story. This can also be used/edited for Year 2. It works through the characters, settings, title, objects, beginning; middle and end of a story and then there is a planning sheet page, where you and the class can plan a story together. The success criteria are also included in the slide and a question at the end asking the chn to explain what they have learned today! I have also attached the worksheets that I used - differentiated - HA, MA and LA which will save huge amounts of time!
